As school starts up, and we say goodbye to these last few days of summer, my mind has already kicked in gear for fall foods. And this Chicken and Quinoa Meatball Stew Recipe is the perfect way to kick off the season.
The meatballs in this dish are made with ground chicken and cooked quinoa (I used red quinoa because that’s what I had on hand, but regular quinoa works just fine), then seasoned with dry onion soup mix.

Chinese Chicken Salad Recipe – 3 Points
By Wendy
One of my all time favorite salads is Chinese Chicken Salads. There is something about the crunchy vegetables, the sweet mandarin oranges and the tangy Asian dressing that just gets me sooooo excited.
But, even though it is a salad, a traditional Chinese Chicken Salad is actually pretty high in calories. My lighter version makes a few healthier changes and tastes fantastic!

Many of you may not know this, but I am a HUGE fan of Thug Kitchen. I find their recipes delicious, and their offensive language commentary, hilarious. Recently, I came across their Watermelon Cucumber Slushie Recipe, and I thought that would make a perfect Weight Watchers Summer Drink Recipe.
I also needed a good, alcohol-free drink recipe for my Labor Day BBQ that both adults and kids would enjoy, so I got to work giving these a try. They were FANTASTIC!! They were cold, sweet, and delightfully flavorful.

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the coconut milk, lime juice, fish sauce, jalapeno, ginger, garlic, cilantro and Thai basil. Add the fish, turn to coat, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Remove fish, and reserve marinade.
Preheat oven to 425. Spray a large, rimmed baking sheet with nonfat cooking spray. Toss vegetables in marinade. Remove them, and place them on the baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until vegetables begin to brown.
Lower oven heat to 325.
Cut 4 large pieces of aluminum foil. In the center of each piece of foil, place 1/4 of the vegetables, top with 1 portion fish, 1 tbsp of marinade and 1 slice fresh lime and fold the foil around the fish and vegetables like a package. Place on a baking sheet and cook for about 15-18 minutes.
Pour remaining marinade into a small saucepan, and set over medium high heat. Whisk constantly and allow to reduce. Sauce should thicken a bit.

Cauliflower Pepperoni Pizza Casserole Recipe – 4 Points
By Wendy
Pizza.
It is, without question, my absolute FAVORITE food in the world. I fantasize about it. I could eat it every single day for the rest of my life and never tire of it. I LOVE IT.
My problem is that I can never stop at one or two slices. This leads to me consuming massive amounts of Weight Watchers Points whenever I am near pizza. This is not good.
