I just enjoyed a good old recipe from Weight Watchers...my mother became a lifetime member way back when I was in high school. Yup, most of the "recipes" back then were pretty scary, but this one stands up very well.

Apple Cheese Danish

* 1 slice of toast preferably whole wheat or whole grain

* 1 apple of choice

* 1 oz of real cheese...no cheese food...preferably in a slice, but if you'd like to shred...ok

* cinnamon to taste

* artificial sweetener to taste...Splenda at our house

Peel and core apple then cut into slices and place in a saucepan with sweetener and cinnamon. Add a small amounts of water as needed and cook the apple down until it is soft, but not completely mushy and the water has evaporated. Place cheese on toast then add the cooked apple. Place under the broiler until apples are steaming and the cheese has melted. This completely satisfies my sweet tooth without blowing the healthful eating out of the water. Hope you'll give it a try. Enjoy!

I'm looking for suggestions for snacks that are low in saturated and trans fats, and are about 150 calories a portion (~3 WWPts). Preferably cold snacks, as they're for my husband to have mid-afternoon at work, to avoid the evil fare that they have available to him in the vending machines!

Any suggestions?

Although calorie count is a bit higher, how about about 1 oz. of almonds, sunflower or pumpkin seeds, pistachio nuts, or baked tortilla chips?

I looked at the saturated fat of nuts and they seemed higher than I expected, particularly as they always say nuts are heart-healthy. I'll look up the particular ones you mention in case some nuts are better than others. Thanks.

I'm also trying raisins and bananas, but they're as close to fruit as I can get him to eat!

We use Ak Mak crackers. They only count 1 point because they have 3 grams of fiber in 5 cracker segments. They have sesame seeds on them and taste really good. Once in a while we will spread a wedge of laughing cow cheese on them for a different flavor.

They are crunchy and take the place of chips or pretzels with no problem.
