Ok how about dessert? Weight Watchers gave us ideas for cakes that are low in points (or calories) and they taste good. Here's one of my favorites:
Black Forest Tort Cake
1 Dark Chocolate Cake Mix
1 Can Diet Cherry Coke
1 container Cool Whip Lite (or Fat Free Cool Whip if you prefer), thawed
1 can Lite Cherry Pie filling
Mix together the cake mix and the can of diet soda until very well blended (note: you may add one egg white if you want your cake less crumbly). Sppon into an oblong cake pan and bake according to package directions (or you can test the cake by this method: if it's heading away from sides of pan and the toothpick comes out clean it's done!). Let cool thoroughly.
When cool spoon the cherry pie filling on top of cake, reserving a bit top the cool whip, then spoon the cool whip on top of that. You can actually spoon the remainder of the cherry pie filling decoratively on top.
Points value per piece (whatever the cake mix yields) is about 3 Points.
It's pretty good!

This is one of my favorite recipes and its a hit everytime I make it. I don't add the green peppers and I double (ok sometimes triple) the chipolte chiles because my roommates and boyfriend like things spicy. I found it in my cooking light magazine.
Chipotle Mac and cheese
Ingredients
1 (7-ounce) can chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles, undrained
4 cups hot cooked elbow macaroni (about 2 cups uncooked)
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup 1% low-fat cottage cheese
1 cup 2% reduced-fat milk
1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Cooking spray
3 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°.
Remove 1 teaspoon adobo sauce from can; set aside. Remove 2 chipotle chiles from can; finely chop to measure 1 tablespoon. Reserve remaining chiles and adobo sauce for another use.
Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chopped chiles, onion, bell pepper, and garlic; cook 4 minutes or until onion is tender, stirring frequently. Sprinkle with flour; cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium; add tomatoes. Cook 3 minutes or until thickened. Add reserved 1 teaspoon adobo sauce, pasta, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, milk, Parmesan, and egg; stir to combine. Spoon pasta mixture into a 2-quart baking dish coated with cooking spray; top with breadcrumbs. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until bubbly.
