SKINNY ONE POINT WEIGHT WATCHER PANCAKES


These skinny pancakes are perfectly fluffy and delicious and you would never know that they are just one Weight Watcher Smart Point each! These pancakes have no added sugar or fat and are made with greek yogurt so they have 3 grams of protein in each pancake. I haven’t had a chance to officially share on the blog, but I’ve been using the Weight Watchers Smart Point program for a little over a year and have lost 60 pounds so far. I think a big part of my success with the program is that I make the same recipes for our whole family. I’m always trying to create point-friendly options that my kids love too. These pancakes are kid and parent approved!

Old-Fashioned Cajun Cake – An EASY cake recipe filled with crushed pineapple and topped with a warm coconut pecan glaze.




When I show up at my mom’s, quite often she has a dessert baked.  I’ll admit that I get the best ideas from her.  One-Pot Cabbage Casserole is a reader favorite, and I owe that one to her.  Well, this Old-Fashioned Cajun Cake is no exception!  I went over there one day and got to sample this cake.  I immediately asked for the recipe, so I could share it with you guys.
