Pumpkin Crustless Quiche

Hi Guys!

I got this recipe in one of the Weight Watchers cookbooks, it's on the page next too my favourite Zucchini slice. I wanted to try something a little different for dinner tonight so I decided that a Crustless pumpkin quiche was on the menu. It was delicious, it reminds me more of a mousse than a quiche but it was very nice. It would also make an excellent side dish to go with a roast dinner.

Ingredients:
1kg butternut pumpkin
250g light/low-fat sour cream
3 eggs
1/4 cup plain flour

Leave me a comment and tell me what you think of this delicious dish!

Cranberry and Oat Cookies

These are delicious biscuits that are HEALTHY and very simple to make. I found this recipe in an old weight watchers magazine and seeing that each cookie is only 1 pro-point, I just HAD to try them out! They would make a delicious sweet treat for someone with diabetes or a nutritious snack for the little ones whilst they are at school.

 

Ingredients:
1 cup wholemeal self-raising flour
1 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup rolled oats
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 cup no fat Greek yoghurt
1 egg
1 tablespoon olive oil

Give them a try and let me know how you enjoyed them!
