SPICY GRILLED CORN ON THE COB
Delicious, different and healthy way to enjoy corn on the cob. I prepare mine under the broiler, but you could easily grill this outdoors on the BBQ if you please. Got this recipe from my mom, who says she got it from Cooking Light.

CORN AND SHRIMP SOUP (WEIGHT WATCHERS)
My SIL gave me this recipe and said it's only 5 points per cup of soup. I cannot attest to how many points, but it is low fat. I've made this a few times, but have to admit I "fattened" it up, but the low-fat version is still very tasty. If you want a dish to serve for a special dinner or to company that is very rich you would need to make the following changes: Saute' your vegetables in 6 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat until onions are lightly carmelized. Substitute regular cream cheese for low fat, regular Cream of Mushroom Soup for the reduced fat version and heavy whipping cream for the fat free milk. Also, add one can (14 ounces) chicken broth. I also use double the amount of chopped onion when I make it. Yes, it does add quite a few calories and fat grams, but it is for a special occasion and you don't eat it every day. DH proclaimed this was his favorite soup (the "fattening" version. BTW, a friend who made it thought it had too much black pepper so please use your own personal preference in that area.

CHILI, CHICKEN AND CORN SOUP (WW CORE)
Smoky, spicy and comforting this easy dish is my adaptation of a recipe found on weightwatchers.com. My favorite preparation is used here: chop, dump and simmer. The onions and leeks melt down into the base of the soup giving the liquid both body and flavor. As presented, this recipe is 5 WW points per serving and Core.

Steps:
- Place a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Apply a light coating of cooking spray and add the leeks, onions, garlic, and jalepenos. Cook for two minutes.
- Cut the chicken thighs in half and add to the pot. Cook and stir for 2 minutes until the surface of the chicken is opaque.
- Add the corn kernels, paprika, cumin and chicken broth. Milk the corn cobs by scraping the back of a knife across the surface holding the cob over the pot so the liquid drips into the soup. Bring to a light boil and reduce to simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and stir in, cover and cook another 10 minutes.
- Add the yellow squash and stir in cover and cook another 10 minutes.
- Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste. The amounts will vary based on the type of broth used.
- Optional: The chicken should be tender enough to cut with a back of a spoon, but if you prefer you can remove the thighs and shred the chicken.
- Ladle into bowls and garnish with cilantro (optional).
