Low WW fruit/cheese snack

I am feeling the need to scale back a little bit in my eating. In fact the

word scale is very appropriate for that… I have had many a Tasty Tuesday

with sugar and calories. Which really are two of my favorite things…

But life does happen, and those things make me larger. So I determined

to do some weight watchers friendly recipes this week. I use the online

WW program. Which means I pay them $16 dollars a month to keep my

name on an empty points tracker page. Its a great relationship…

Anyway..

Last week, I walked into the lunch room at my office and saw one of my

coworkers making this as a snack. (Holla Jen!)

I was very intrigued by it – and couldn’t wait to try it for myself

It is a very simple combination of ingredients -

You can use either pears or apples for this – I tried some of each.

My co-worker made it with goat cheese, which I happen to love,

but I think it would work well with any number of soft cheeses.

Feta and Mozzerella come to mind.

I put the photo of the WW cream cheese in because I know it

would taste great with that too – and the weight

watchers points would be even lower.

Start by cutting up your apple. I use Fuji apples – they are my absolute favorites!

I also use this apple cutter, which is one of the most used items in my kitchen.

If you don’t have one, get one….

Then I proceeded to pare my pear………

Dang I am so funny…. it’s a gift..

Lay out your fruit on a plate

Then crumple some of the cheese over each slice

Now dribble honey over all the fruit and cheese.

The combination of flavors is really amazing! I seriously love it – and it actually filled me up

for lunch, not just as a snack. But considering it is only about 3 Weight Watchers points,

you could eat it anytime without messing with your daily points allotment to much!

I had forgotten until after I had eaten almost all of it, that Jen also added ground pepper to hers -

So I salvaged a few slices and tried it with pepper -

It was good! I would eat it gladly either way -

Who am I kidding, pour some chocolate over it and I would

eat the goat itself….

Thanks for stopping by!
