Cranberry Jello Salad

 

Cranberry Jell-O Salad

 

2 pkgs Sugar Free Cranberry Jell-O

2 cups of boiling water

1-20oz can of Pineapple chunks in natural pineapple juice

1-15oz can of Del Monte Mandarin Oranges, no sugar added

1 apple cut into chunks with the skin on

½ cup walnuts, chopped into pieces

1-14 oz can of Jellied Cranberry Sauce

 

Drain juice from pineapple and oranges.  Break up cranberry sauce into small pieces, small enough to dissolve fairly quickly.

 

Pour Jell-O powder into a bowl, pour in boiling water and stir until the powder is dissolved.  Mix in cranberry jelly and stir until most is dissolved into the Jell-O mixture.  Stir in the oranges, pineapple, apple and walnuts. Refrigerate overnight or until firm.  Stir it up before serving and enjoy.  This is so wonderful.

 

I figured 27 points for the entire bowl.  16 points for the jellied cranberries and 11 points for the walnuts.

 



Weigh in and How we see ourselves Show Notes

 

Fake it until you make it show notes

Recipe I will be making tonight.  The potatoes/onions are 5 points based on 4 serving size.  I will weigh my chicken breasts before I serve dinner for the remainder of the points.

Review:  This was disappointing.  I cooked it as directed and it was not done.  I wasn't really impressed and threw the whole thing out.  I may try it in the slow cooker.  I think that would be perfect.

Review of Yoplait Greek 100 calorie Apple Pie Yogurt:  I really enjoyed it.  It was a fresh flavor and I think I will try it in the recipe published by Weight Watcher Girl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3BuIOz01R0&list=PLGydKfiYcHj37KMdZW4U3LH8cC3JTF8Bn&index=93

This is a recipe that was hanging on the wall in the meeting room today.  It sounds wonderful.  I would make it with ground turkey.

Chicken, Rice and Vegetable Skillet Recipe: http://diethood.com/chicken-rice-vegetable-skillet/

My changes to that recipe were, 1 cup Weight Watchers Mexican Shredded cheese instead of Monterey Jack; 2 tablespoonsful of olive oil instead of 3; 12 oz of chicken breast cubed instead of 4 chicken breasts;  Aldi's instant brown rice 1½ cups instead of white rice.

I arrived at 4 servings at 10 points each. 

This was a delicious and filling recipe and I will make it again!  Here is a picture I took with my little ol' camera:
