Weight Watchers Points Plus

I am a lifetime member of Weight Watchers. I started back at the beginning of Mar 2011 to get back to Goal. I need to lose 22 pounds. This is my first time following the points plus system. When I got lifetime a few years ago I was following the points system (Momentum) and right at the end I did Core for a few months. A lot of the recipes are low fat but some are just my normal recipes that I have figured out the points on so I am posting them here so I don't have to recalculate it every time. ENJOY!!!

Recipe Explanation

After each ingredient I list the points for that ingredient. If it is a Filling food it will have an (F) after the ingredient. At the top of the recipe I list the total points for the recipe, how many it serves, the serving size and how many points per serving.

Salsa Chicken

Brown hamb.  Add dried onion to taste.  Add manwich and brown sugar.  Cook until heated through.  Serve on top of buns, rice, pasta or rolled in a tortilla.  If you roll in a tortilla I like sour cream and lettuce in it also.
