Weight Watchers has introduced a new line of cheeses that come on four great spreadable varieties. They come in little wedges so you know just how much cheese you are having and at one point each, they make the perfect afternoon snack when you need a little energy boost to help get you through the day.
Each wedge is spreadable so you can just dip your cracker in or use a knife. Whichever floats your boat.
We have been snacking and trying out the different varieties for several days. I am not a big cheese eater. Normally if I am eating cheese it is because it is on something. However Marissa and Tate loves cheese and could eat it 24/7.
I personally liked the Garlic and Herb one. Tate likes the Swiss the best. Marissa liked them all (of course she is our Mikey, she will eat anything). The only one I haven’t tried is the jalapeno variety…and since I am allergic, I passed. Bric said it was good though. I haven’t tried the cream cheese yet. I am still trying to decide what I am going to make with it.
- The new Weight Watchers Spreadable Cheese Wedges come in four mouth-watering varieties – Original Swiss, Garlic & Herb, Parmesan Peppercorn and Jalapeño Pepper – and are perfect for spreading onto crackers, apple slices, celery sticks and more for a deliciously fun and easy snack. Each rich and creamy wedge has only 30 calories, packs more fiber than the leading competitor and comes with a POINTS® value of 1. The wedges have a suggested retail price of $2.99-$3.99.
- The new eight-ounce variety of Weight Watchers Reduced Fat Cream Cheese Spread is ideal for baking and snacking alike with pre-measured servings and the same easy-to-spread goodness that has made Weight Watchers cream cheese products a hit. In addition to its flavor merits, the spread boasts 40 percent less fat than regular cream cheese and a POINTS® value of 1 per serving. The cream cheese spread has a suggested retail price of $1.69-$1.99.
- Look for both products at national retailers such as Wal-Mart and Kroger.

One of my families favorite meals is homemade hamburgers. I concocted a recipe several months back and it has turned into one of the most requested meals that I make.
Before I tell you any more about the burgers, let me explain something. There are no measurements. It is just a mixture, meant to be adjusted to your liking. Now, let’s get ready to grill…
You will need some ground beef. I use ground chuck but you can use whatever you choose. Also, grab some Worchestershire sauce, Country Bobs All-Purpose Sauce, and Steak Seasoning.
Simply add as much or as little of all the ingredients as you want. My guess would be that for 2 pounds of ground beef I use 2-3 Tablespoons of steak Seasoning and a 1/4 cup of Worchestershire sauce and 1/2 cup of Country Bobs sauce.
Once you have added the amount that suits your fancy just mix it all togehter .
Make out your patties and have your grill heating up.
Then, all that is left to do is to grab your favorite topping and eat.
One of my favorite toppings happens to be Borden Bacon Cheddar Sliced cheese. They also have Pepperjack and Hickory Smoked Swiss. Then I add a little more Country Bobs sauce and some sauteed mushrooms. Talk about a divine burger…Mmmm!!
There you have it…one of my most requested recipes. Once people have tasted my burgers I always get comments about how moist they are. How great they taste and everyone always wants to know what I put in them.

Today was Engineer’s Day at Carter’s Lake. It is a yearly event for the employees and their families of the Corps of Engineers, Carters Project and since that is where Erin works we all went. Each employee was to sign up to bring a covered dish. The meat and drinks were covered by the Corp. So….Erin signed up to carry a dessert.
Well, at 10 PM last night Erin decided to start to work on what she was going to carry. Let me tell you, 10PM is NOT the time to start. She didn’t have all the ingredients she needed and it isn’t like you can just run out to an all night grocery store around here.
So, at 7 AM this morning I was deciding what I was going to cook and carry on Erin’s behalf. All I can say is thank goodness for Christy Jordan at Southern Plate and her friend Bill Gent, a regular reader who contributed a easy dessert recipe that sounded like something I could make quickly and easily. I ran out to the grocery store, grabbed everything I needed and was done and ready to go by 10 AM!
I made a Cherry, Apple and Peach Cream Cheese Cobbler.
Thanks again to Christy and Bill, you saved the day!
The kids even got to have fun swimming and playing frisbee.

I have been horrible about sharing recipes lately…so I have decided that we will dedicate Sundays as the day to share a recipe. If you have a great recipe to share as well you can e-mail it to me at thepost-itplace @ hotmail . com (just remove the spaces) or you can leave it in the comments. If you e-mail me a recipe that my family absolutely adores…I will feature it here one Sunday for all to see with a link to your site…so browse through those favorite cook books and let’s get to cooking! Now, let’s gather round the table and see what we have for today:
Today’s recipe is one of those OH MY STINKIN HECK delicious ones that everyone will ask where you found the recipe and will you share it. Me, I got it from my friends at Nestle. Yes, I can say they are my friends…it isn’t like they read my blog to dispute that fact so trust me when I say, They are my friends.
You can be the hit of the party with this full-flavored take on the classic baked potato with all the fixin’s. The Carnation milk provides a creamy texture to a mix of hearty potatoes, cheddar cheese, bacon and green onions. With this dish there are no left-overs. NONE. My Tate ate 3 helpings. Yep, it really is good.
Loaded Potato Potluck Favorite
Ingredients:
* 8 medium potatoes (about 2 1/2 to 3 lb. total), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
* 1 cup NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk
* 1/2 cup sour cream
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
* 2 cups (8-oz. pkg.) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
* 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled, divided
* Sliced green onions (optional)
Directions:
PLACE potatoes in large saucepan. Cover with water; bring to a boil. Cook over medium-high heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender; drain.
PREHEAT oven to 350° F. Grease 2 1/2- to 3-quart casserole dish.
RETURN potatoes to saucepan; add evaporated milk, sour cream, salt and pepper. Beat with hand-held mixer until smooth. Stir in 1 1/2 cups cheese and half of bacon. Spoon mixture into prepared casserole dish.
BAKE for 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through. Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese, remaining bacon and green onions. Bake for an additional 3 minutes or until cheese is melted.
TIP:
• This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated. Cover with foil and bake at 350° F for 40 to 45 minutes or until heated. Uncover; top with cheese, bacon and green onions; bake for an additional 3 minutes or until cheese is melted.
