Some of My Favorite Food Recipes from the Weight Watchers Boards
DIET COKE CAKE
(version of recipe put into Community Recipe Swap by KJR1963)
1 box cake mix - any flavor
1 can diet soda - any flavor
Variations I've seen:
chocolate cake w/ diet coke
yellow cake w/ diet lemon-lime
use your imagination for the combinations! Oh the possibilities!
Mix the dry cake mix with 10-12 oz of diet soda. (Do not use the egg or oil
listed
on the box). Spray a 9 x 12 cake pan (or cupcake tin) with non-stick spray and
bake according to package instructions.
Some have said an entire can of pop makes the cake TOO moist ... 10 oz. seems
to be the least I've seen suggested. Experiment yourself to find the best amount
for your taste.

Tip: Make sure to let the cake cook completely before you try to cut it. Because
you aren't adding eggs, the cake will be tender and can tear if you cut it while
it's warm. Some people have started adding 2 egg whites to the mix. It doesn't
raise the points any (less than 1 point) but they report that the cake is firmer
and rises better.
POINTS? You have to figure your points from the cake mix you use. Multiply the
nutritional info on the box by the number of servings the box says you get
(usually 12). Then divide by the actual number of pieces you cut or cupcakes
you make. The points will vary widely depending on how much fat is in your cake
mix. I made this cake with a Betty Crocker German Chocolate cake with 2.5 grams
of fat per serving. It came to 4 points for 12 slices. That would have been 2
points per cupcake if I'd made 24.
P.S. I also use a liquid salad dressing that has garlic in it instead of the soup mix and it adds the flavor also. (Italian or Vingerette ect.)
MILK SHAKE
Blizzard
Yield 1 serving = 3 pts*
Satisfies 1 milk serving
1/2 oz sugar free, fat free any flavor Jell-O Brand Instant Pudding Mix (The
Blizzard is 4 pts if you use a store brand. I don't know why)
1-cup skim milk
1-cup ice
In a blender mix the pudding mix powder and the milk. After it is completely
blended add the 1 cup of ice. Blend until ice is thoroughly incorporated.
Enjoy one HUGE tasty treat!
* - Add the points accordingly if you add additional ingredients such as
crushed candy bars, nuts or cereal to your blizzard.

CHOCOLATE SHAKE
1 c. skim milk (I use 1%)
2 tbsp. sugar free instant pudding (I use chocolate - is there any other
flavor)
1 tsp. vanilla
8-10 ice cubes (the more you use, the thicker it gets)
Blend on high. makes 1 serving ... 2 pts.
PEANUT BUTTER PIE
4 tbsp. peanut butter
1 tbsp honey
1 1/2 cup rice krispies
1 pkg sugar free chocolate pudding
2 cups skim milk
4 tbsp Cool whip

ICE CREAM SANDWICHES - 1 Point
Fat Free Cool Whip frozen between two half LF graham
crackers.
It really is like eating an ice cream sandwich.
LF chocolate grahams or the regular LF honey a great treat and only 1 point per.
I wrap mine in saran wrap put in freezer until frozen. The saran wrap
keeps them from going soggy.
STRAWBERRY PIE
Total Pie - 6 points
1 pint strawberries
1 pkg sugar free vanilla need to cook pudding
1 pkg sugar free strawberry jell-o
2 cups water
Slice berries into pie pan

mixture over sliced berries.

CORN ON THE COB (Variations)
************************************
Just put the corn, husk and all in a 450* oven for about
40 - 45 minutes. It has a really great roasted flavor. I just put it on the
rack, no pan.
*************************************
Put it in the microwave, husks and all. Cook for about 3-3 1/2 minutes at full power. It is the best.
*************************************
Remove husks, wrap in saran wrap and micro on high about 3 minutes
*************************************
Remove most of the husk.........Microwave for about 6 min. Then spray with ICBNB and salt and freshly ground pepper.
