Weight Watchers recipes all tend to be outstanding. It's because they actually hire real cooks/food scientists to put together recipes. With food blogs run by a single person (who has like 10 pages of introduction about the food and then the crappy recipe) being picked up by the Google algorithms and being placed on the first search result page and now dominating recipes on the internet, I just go straight to the Weight Watchers homepage and look for recipes there.


This drives me so nuts. I don't know why the google algorithm is set this way -- are they paying off google? Google used to be my go-to search because it didn't give you the crap, but now it seems like it gives you ONLY crap. My kid made cookies from someone's blog last week and they are utterly inedible. There was a note on the blog post saying "Some people think these cookies are too salty..." They were so salty that we were all spitting them out. I'm so irked at the wasted ingredients.


Op here, I agree with this. I try to only do recipes from sites I’ve used a lot, some blogs. Some I enjoy are Budget Bytes, This Old Gal (Instant Put), Dad Cooks Dinner, Pinch of Yum, Sally’s Baking Addiction, Smitten Kitchen, Recipes Tin Eats, and I also have a NYT cooking subscription, too.

I've suddenly been making a LOT of enchiladas. Saute ground beef with chopped onions and peppers or canned mild chili peppers mixed with enchilada sauce (I prefer the wegmans red sauce), roll up in corn tortillas with shredded cheese, top with more shredded cheese and bake about 25 min at 350. Serve with sour cream and any taco ish toppings.

Another Smitten Kitchen (really Helen Rosner) recipe.

If you think "but I don't like cabbage," consider whether this might be different enough that you will. The caramelized cabbage is delicious -- like caramelized onions

Sadly none of the TJ's are convenient to me! I used to live half a mile from one, which made a swing-by-"homemade"-dinner so much easier! -OP


I have to walk a little over a mile to get to mine. It's worth it to me. Everyone has to do what works best for them.


Costco’s mandarin orange chicken isn’t bad either. That or TJ’s with rice and broccoli is one of my kids favorite staples too

How long do you cook the drumsticks? That sounds super easy and good!

Old Bay Chicken drumsticks. Do you belong to Sam's Club? Chicken Drumsticks are cheap and available. The recipe is something like: Brush on small amount of melted butter, sprinkle Old Bay, then roast. It's soooooo good.

Same as above, been adding cooked pasta + broccoli + already cooked chicken to alfredo (make your own or jar). When we don't have broccoli, I use frozen mixed vegetables! If you don't have alfredo, it's so easy, with butter, flour, cream and some cheese.

I wouldn't call this a "recipe" but we were low on groceries and I was scrounging with what we had. I took dinner rolls, put ham and cheese on them, and baked them at 300 for 5 minutes to make ham & cheese sliders. I've made them a few times since and serve them with whatever fruit & vegetable we have.

We cook a large variety of meals but our absolute favorite are these Asian Turkey Burgers. Everyone we make them for asks for the recipe. Don't add water, and no need to saute the onions and garlic. They are even better with a slice of pineapple on top! https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/anne-burrell/turkey-burger-recipe-2124612

If I have leftover potatoes, I love a frittata. This recipe is just a guide—you can change it up.

Frittata
3 medium new potatoes, cooked
2 tsp. olive oil
1 small red onion roughly chopped
Pinch of chopped garlic
8-10 basil leaves, chopped
6 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup milk
2 Tbl parm cheese
4 oz. goat cheese, broken into 1/2" chunks
Prosciutto sliced, optional

Preheat oven to 375 deg. F. In a 10" everyday pan or ovenproof fry pan over medium-high heat, warm olive oil. Add onion and saute, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5-6 mins. Add potatoes, garlic and basil; saute, stirring occasionally, 1-2 mins. more.

Add eggs, salt, pepper and goat cheese, and stir until just mixed. Transfer pan to oven and bake until frittata is set. 18-20 mins. Serves 4.
