Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?

A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.

The family of a man who died after being found badly injured and naked in a skip has paid tribute to their 'loving big blue eyed silver fox'.
Michael Hunt was found in the skip at the far end of an alleyway off Station Road, South Norwood, at about 7am on Saturday.
Mr Hunt, who was known as Irish Mick, was suffering from injuries to his head and body and died about five hours later in Kings College Hospital.
The 37-year-old, of Holmesdale Road, South Norwood, was originally from Waterford, Ireland, and to south London for work about six years ago.
In a statement his family said: "We love and miss you lots and lots, you will never be forgotten.
"Mick was such a kind gentle natured spirit, always happy-go-lucky with a dry sense of humour.
"He had a kind heart and was a loving big blue-eyed silver fox.
"Mick was very family orientated; he was loved by everyone who he came into contact with him."
A post-mortem examination was held at the Princess Royal University Hospital in Bromley.
The cause of death was released today as a blunt trauma to the head and torso with associated complications.
Officers investigating Mr Hunt's murder will be returning to Station Road at 10.30pm tomorrow night to try trace people who were in the area last Friday night or early Saturday morning and may have witnessed the attack.
Three people have been arrested in connection with the killing.
Arry James Green, of no fixed abode, appeared at Camberwell Green Magistrates Court this morning via videolink charged with Mr Hunt's murder.
The 21-year-old has been remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey on Monday morning.
Two other people – a 24-year-old woman and a 38-year-old man – were arrested in the Brighton area earlier today.

America's Floor Source has grown on foundation of commercial sales
- Brian R. Ball
- Staff reporter- Columbus Business First
- Email | Google+ | Twitter | LinkedIn
Jason Goldberg first learned the carpet and flooring business on the concrete floors of a Rite Rug Co. warehouse when he was in high school.
That education in the family business continued after his freshman year at Miami University, when he moved to showroom floor sales.
After graduating from Ohio State University in 1993, Goldberg spent seven years in various positions at the Rite Rug store in Lancaster. His training included management posts in Dayton and Columbus before becoming president in 1997.
But the ties that bind some family businesses together broke in 2000 at Rite Rug as Goldberg found himself increasingly at odds with the company's senior managers and father Michael Goldberg, who ran the company.
"I had trouble listening to the people they had in place," Jason Goldberg said, a bit reluctant to share details. "There were differences in opinion."
Fired by his father in late March, he knew he wanted to stay in the industry.
"I'm a big believer that you should do what you know," Goldberg said. "I knew the (flooring) business pretty well at that point, so I wrote a business plan and opened America's Floor Source."
Laying down the carpet
Prior to the sudden departure from Rite Rug, Goldberg said he grew its homebuilder division from $2 million in annual sales to more than $12 million.
That expertise prompted Goldberg to focus his new business on selling to homebuilders. The effort, assisted by six other ex-Rite Rug staff member, led to $1 million in sales during the first six months.
In 2001, revenue was $5 million.
Like many entrepreneurs, Goldberg said he did not take a paycheck those first 18 months in business.
"It's was very difficult financially, both for the company and for me," he said. "We were a startup."
The company began to change in 2006, just as the housing market began to slow.Goldberg in 2005 had opened a showroom and distribution center after operating in a warehouse on Refugee Road.
"We always wanted to do retail," he said, "but we weren't prepared to do it right away."
The competitive retail market has lower margins than the business-to-business trade. And it has operational challenges.
"When you're doing new construction, there's no one there (at the house) during installation," Goldberg said.
"When you're doing a residence, the homeowner is there and there's furniture to move and knickknacks that can break," he said. The homeowner "wants perfection and you have to deliver that."
Residential installations through the retail division in 2011 accounted for just 6 percent of the company's $32 million in revenue.
Construction of new apartments and single-family homes still makes up about 40 percent of the business, while sales to multifamily property management companies have increased to 30 percent.
Wholesale sales to the remodeling market make up another 20 percent of the business.
Chain dominance
The company is ranked No. 43 of the top 100 flooring sellers in the country by revenue, according to Floor Focus, an industry publication. It's just ahead of Rite Rug's $31 million in sales and well ahead of Columbus-based Levi's 4 Floors, which reported 2011 revenue of $26 million and ranks No. 57 on the publication's annual Focus 100 Retail list.
Floor Focus Publisher Kemp Harr said the broader flooring industry has declined sharply since the peak of the housing industry in 2006, when companies moved flooring with a wholesale value of $24 billion. The industry bottomed out in 2011 at $16 billion at the wholesale level.
But the market has shown improvement as developers push construction of apartments.
The national home improvement companies such as Home Depot, Lowe's and Menards chains dominate the list as sellers of flooring.
"When you get to the (home improvement) chains," Harr said, "you start getting into industry sectors such as new construction and the apartment (replacement) sector."
The recession and weak recovery have pushed more sales to the larger chains.
"You see some consolidation with the home centers now controlling 30 percent of the flooring business," Harr said. "People are looking for the best price out there."
But in Central Ohio, the independent flooring market is strong, he said.
"The Columbus market is one of the most interesting because of the number of competitors," Harr said. "All those competitors are good and know retail."
Mobile sales
Goldberg said the mom-and-pop operations and small chains still make up the bulk of what he said "is not the most sophisticated business."
"When you get it right," he said, "it makes it easier to expand the business."
Goldberg said the company has expanded its operations in recent years through following its homebuilder customers. It has started to open retail operations in markets such as Louisville, Indianapolis and Cincinnati.
"When we expanded, we wanted to expand right, so we'll open in conjunction with one of our (builder) clients," he said. "When you open like that, you already have a base of business."
In May, it expects to open a showroom in Fort Wayne, Ind., where Indianapolis-based customer Westport Homes builds. America's Floor Source also plans to open in Nashville, Tenn. in the second quarter of this year as it follows northern Kentucky-based Fischer Homes into that market.
"We have to find the right opportunity," he said. "It doesn't have to be a homebuilder; it could be a large (multifamily) property manager."
While Goldberg plans to continue pushing America's Floor Source's retail network farther from Columbus, he expects vans with up to 20,000 samples to become a major part of his retail strategy.
The company has three vans in Columbus and one each in Cincinnati and Indianapolis.
"It's a professional way," Goldberg said, "to allow the customer to see the product in their (room) lighting and the comfort of their home."
Floor Focus' Harr said the method has become important to homeowners who have little time to shop for carpeting.
Goldberg expects home sales to grow as he seeks to balance the four major customer sectors.
"An average store of 3,000 square feet can do $750,000 to $1.2 million" a year, Goldberg said. "We can do that with one vehicle."
The company expects to roll out the concept in June with an advertising campaign as the company sets out to have 20 mobile stores in its fleet within three years.
"Long-term," Goldberg said, "I believe that's the way we'll do our residential business."

Disappointed" by Mrs Patsy Hodson
I thought they would be great but you can't have the iron on cotton or linen setting as the iron drags on the cloth. Its great on the lower settings, so back to the tea towel for me. Shame as the principle if great.
A note from the team: I'm sorry to learn of the problem you've had with the ironing cloth. I'll be in touch shortly.
absolutely super" by Judy
Long needed, do the job perfectly - an essential aid to 'mark free' ironing.
Best Buy" by Samantha
Quick and easy to use, clothes look great. If you still use a tea towel then invest in these!

Very polite and courteous
Very pleasant environment created by employees
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE SERVICE. The worst I've ever had with uhaul
Very helpful staff really appreciate the help I was given
The worst U-HAUL rental experience, driving the truck felt like the wheels was going to come off, shake at normal speed, on return I have to remove the pads from the truck and bring back in the gas station never have to do that in the past with UHAUL. Will never use that location for my future rental.
Fix your equipment. Tailgate plastic was loose and slipped on it. Luckily I did not hurt myself or you would have a lawsuit on your hands.
Let people know that you pick up the trucks at the gas station and nit the uhaul building.
Forgot to use my AARP card for discount !!! The folks that worked the site were superb and friendly and clean - as was the pickup location. I WOULD like that Helper phone# or web site to schedule a 2 man team to load the truck again in December 26th :) A good experience and satisfied.

Dancing with the Stars Recap: A 'Jam'-Packed Night
Originally posted 03/23/2015 11:55PM
Here's a little behind-the-scenes Dancing with the Stars scoop to start off the recap: I understand our stars learned as early as Friday when they would be dancing during "My Jam Monday."
So, for example, Prince Farming Chris Soules knew before the weekend that he'd get to kick off tonight's show while Lady Marmalade herself (a.k.a. Patti LaBelle ) was rewarded the last dance of the evening well in advance of tonight's performance.
Now put the shoe on the other foot: What could be more disheartening than knowing that you aren't strong enough to open or close the night – and realizing how your middle-of-the-show positioning brings you closer to the ol' heave-ho?
So, which dancers proved they might be worthy of prime placement next week? And what about the contestants whose so-so performance last week put them at risk of elimination? Read on for the night's highlights and to see who came close to leaving DWTS first.
Dancing with the Stars Recap: Which Celebrity Brought Down the House – and Attracted Big Stars?

It was a big night in the ballroom – and not just because John McClane and GI Jane were in the house! Monday's installment of Dancing with the Stars kicked off the first of what the network promised would include lots of action-packed tributes to the show's 10th anniversary.
The premiere episode didn't disappoint. There were lots of contemporary tunes ("Uptown Funk," "Take Me to Church"), plenty of showstopping choreography (Derek Hough, so glad you stuck around this season!) and even quadruple hanky moments (welcome to the ballroom, Army vet and amputee Noah Galloway!).
No 9s or 10s were awarded just yet, but a couple of celebrities sure came close to earning some high scores. Here's how the new contenders fared on night one:
Dancing with the Stars: And the New Celebrities Are ...
Originally posted 02/24/2015 09:00AM
A rapper, an openly gay pro football player, an amputee veteran and, um, Lady Marmalade will help Dancing with the Stars celebrate its 10th anniversary.
And great news for fans of Derek Hough – the five-time mirror ball winner will participate after all! Hough was cast to play the male lead in New York Spring Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall this spring, but he will split his time between New York and Los Angeles. (It's nice to be so young and nimble!)
Eleven celebrities and their pro partners were revealed Tuesday on Good Morning America. The show still needs to find one more male star to pair with Witney Carson, the reigning champion.
Here are the stars:

Janel Parrish, whose character Mona Vanderwaal was killed off last week on ABC Family's Pretty Little Liars, will dance with Valentin Chmerkovskiy.

All told, 12 pros were revealed this morning on ABC's Good Morning America in anticipation of the 19th season premiere of DWTS on Sept. 15.

Elizabeth Berkley 'Felt a Little Sucker Punch' After DWTS Elimination
Originally posted 11/12/2013 10:00AM
In a Dancing with the Stars season known for its shocking eliminations, Elizabeth Berkley expressed distress on Monday night after becoming the latest contestant to get dismissed.
"I felt a little sucker punch because I was excited about next week," Berkley, 41, told PEOPLE backstage after bidding adieu to the ballroom. "I just feel, like, cut short a little bit – not that I feel entitled by any means. I just felt excited and grateful, that's all. Don't be sad that it's over, smile because it happened."
Lowest scoring contestant Bill Engvall was once again saved from jeopardy with partner Emma Slater.

The Bulldogs' big deep threat on the outside under recently fired Pat Hill's pro-style offense, Saunders has opted to transfer to Oklahoma.

Even as a family mourns the death of the sole bread earning member, their grief is tinged with anger at the thought that the Saudi company he worked for kept the death under wraps citing "Ramzan holidays".
On August 3, Irshad Ahmed (23), who worked as a driver in Saudi Arabia, died in an accident when he was transporting goods between Dammam and Arar. However, the family was notified only on August 12, said Yusuf Karandadi, Irshad's uncle.
However, it was only on Monday, when the company opened after the Ramzan holidays, that the family was intimated. "The police and the hospital had notified the company. They should have had the decency to inform us, and not keep the information to themselves," said Mr. Yusuf.
The family has written to the Indian embassy there, and expect the body to reach the village in a week's time.
Irshad migrated to Saudi Arabia around two years ago, and after the Nitaqat – Saudi's labour laws against immigration – were enforced, he shifted to the present company as a driver after paying a fee. Ironically, Irshad's work visa had arrived a day after his death.
In all, Mr. Yusuf estimates that he had taken loans cumulatively amounting to Rs. 10 lakh, a burden that falls on his 65-year-old father, who is an amputee.
"The family lives in poverty. His father cannot work, his mother is also ailing, and his three younger brothers are still going to school and college. They were surviving on the money Irshad sent from Saudi. Things were looking up for them, and for Ramzan, Irshad had asked them to buy new clothes and promised to pay them after the salary had come…I don't know what they will do now," he said.

To say that Israel today is not popular internationally or that it suffers from
a bad image is an understatement. In last year's annual BBC poll on the
international popularity of 16 countries and the EU, Israel ranked almost last,
with only Iran, North Korea and Pakistan lagging behind us; it is hard to
believe that countries such as Russia, South Korea, India and China are more
liked than Israel.In the United States, 43 percent express a positive
view of Israel, 41% a negative one. In Britain, 66% have a negative view of
Israel.A country that came into being with tremendous world support for
the dramatic homecoming of the Jewish people and its successful and unique
nation-building process. The world was on the side of David, surviving against
all odds, and rebuilding its ancient homeland, a modern, integrated country,
bound to its historical and cultural roots, reviving its ancient language,
creating a modern, democratic society, with a modern economy, culture and
army.The year 1967 was the historical watershed.David became
Goliath, the great moral cause of the new Israel was being questioned, as we
became over night the rulers of almost 3 million Palestinians. This
deteriorated, as we became enamored with the occupation and as the settlements,
on a land not anymore ours, came to be perceived, by a post-colonial world, as
colonial outposts.Since then our image has deteriorated on a slippery
slope: an image of an occupying power, not respecting basic human rights, a
strong military power vis-à-vis the Palestinians and Lebanon and its civilian
population.The image of sovereign Israel also gradually deteriorated,
from admiration of the social progress of the kibbutzim and of the vibrant
democracy, to sharp criticism of a state where secularism gives in to religious
political forces, with Middle Age doctrines about the role of women, a state
where racism toward Arabs is rampart, etc.These images have led us to be
totally isolated in the family of nations as expressed at the UN, with only the
US, Germany and perhaps Micronesia supporting us; in many countries our generals
are accused of war crimes, and our academia boycotted.Some see it as if
we are losing a beauty contest ("So what if we are unpopular!") – a wrong and
dangerous perception.For a relatively small state like Israel, our
international image and legitimacy is of great importance.Our economy,
our defense capacity, our room for maneuver are to a large degree a function of
our international standing. If we want to be part of globalization and to reap
its fruits, we must be a respected member of the family of nations; if we must
act in self-defense, we need at least a degree of international
legitimacy.A bad image of a delegitimized Israel is therefore dangerous
to our national security.And what is the remedy for this predicament?
According to official Israel, in past years as well as today, it is hasbara – a
Hebrew word, often pronounced in Israel with an American accent as most of it is
targeted at the United States. Furthermore, there is no exact English
translation. It derives from "lehasbir," to explain. No country in the world,
except for us, has an explanation policy, let alone an explanation
minister.This notion lies deep in our mythology about ourselves – we
have "to explain," meaning that the truth is on our side, we just have to
explain it and we will be understood. And if the audience does not "understand"
then traditionally there are three possible explanations: the hasbara was not
good enough because the messenger was not truly convinced of the gospel; the
non-Jewish audience did not "get it" because of anti-Semitism; or the Jewish
audience did not "get it" because of "Diaspora mentality."And yet we
have had some brilliant PR agents and propagandists, starting and starring our
current Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu – Mr.Hasbara. Bibi truly
believes that a good speech, emphasizing the right core messages, is a remedy
for every predicament. His last "talks like a duck" speech at AIPAC was a
propagandist masterpiece, that got the audience engaged in a virtual fitness
program of endless standing ovations, but it did not stop Iran's nuclear
ambitions, or give us the political space to act on it ourselves. At most he
succeeded in insulting the ducks.Bibi is only a symptom of our Hasbara
Syndrome – when a lieutenant-colonel brutally beats an unarmed Danish protester,
the country laments the damage to hasbara and not the moral predicament; when we
send rescue missions to international disaster areas, such as Haiti, the focus is on the
hasbara dividend more than on the tragedy.It is high time that we
understand some basic facts of modern-day international relations and public
relations in regards to three key areas: • Some things just cannot be
"explained." Take the settlements in the West Bank, to which the whole world,
without a single exception, are opposed. If we enlisted the greatest hasbara, PR
experts in the world, from Arthur Finkelstein to Coca- Cola's PR agency, they
would not be able to convince a single soul that 300,000 settlers in the West
Bank strengthen Israel's security.With all of our efforts to convince
the world otherwise, the settlements are universally perceived as a provocation
against the Palestinian people, if not the Arab world as a whole.They
are, in the minds of all governments including that of the United States, an
obstacle to peace, internationally illegal, a symptom of an occupation, and
against the basic interests and values of a post-colonial world – not even one
hundred Bibis and Finkelsteins can convince the world otherwise.• The
world is relatively wellinformed in this era of information and technology
revolutions.Through the various Internet news outlets, Wikipedia,
worldwide traditional media and social networks, people generally are more
informed than before – and they are skeptical of governmental messages, which in
today's information glut are, in any case, a drop in the ocean.• What
matters is not public relations or hasbara, but policy. When Israel had an
active peace policy, be it under Begin, Rabin, Peres and in part Sharon, our
actions spoke louder than any hasbara. We had far better international standing
and it impacted our trade relations, brought about economic growth and
strengthened our national security against external threats.As to the
future, it is imperative that we divorce ourselves of the notion that good
hasbara is a remedy for bad policy. Good policy sells itself; not necessarily
popular policy, but policy that can be rationally described as serving our
interests of peace and security, as well as the values that we share with the
Americans and the international community.We can then engage not in
hasbara, which is nearly synonymous with propaganda, but in what is known in the
modern and the new media world as public diplomacy, engaging through traditional
and new media about how great Israel is, which indeed it is, despite its
leadership.The writer is president of the Peres Center for Peace and
served as Israel's chief negotiator for the Oslo Accords.

I am searching a way to disable the vibration/silentmode icon in the statusbar and I think it is possible to achieve that through Xposed. But unfortunately I cannot develop such a module
Are developers here which accept requests? Or isn't it possible?

Forestedge expands, earning awards
Like the burgeoning rhubarb patch - now spanning two acres - Forestedge Winery has expanded the retail and production areas, both doubling in size.
But unlike the rhubarb patch - the original plants dating back to the Depression era - the winery is home to state-of-the-art equipment. A recently acquired Monoblock from Italy fills, corks, capsulates and labels a bottle of wine in 4.5 seconds flat.

not worth the price
This is exactly what I was looking for, but Rev A Shelf is making a killing on their product. I am sorry but the profit margin on this is way too greedy I think. I suppose they have a great patent on this because I haven't seen any competitors. Overstock had the best price for this product. I searched builder supply houses, *****. This product might cost **** to make. I don't understand why they sell it for approx. ****. Not worth it.Read More
So convenient
Bought this for recycling. Bins are a great size and measurements online were accurate. Sliders easy to install and work smoothly. Bins sit stably in the racks.Read More
The trash is out of sight!
I have been wanting this item for while. I hate I waited so long love it the trash is hidden.Read More
Rev-A-Shelf Double 35-Quart Waste Containers
I did not purchase the Rev-A-Shelf Double 35-Quart Waste Containers. I measured my interior cabinet under the sink and the containers would not fit so I stopped processing before it was shipped.Read More
Soo practical
Not too hard to install (also bought the door mounting kit, and a lid from a different website). Slides effortlessly, even with the two containers almost full. It has made our lives so much easier, considering its frequent use!Read More
Good product, but be careful with door kit
The first one I received had an issue where the floor frame was not square, so I contacted Overstock and they shipped out a new one right away and gave me a prepaid shipping label to send the old one back in. That was really great service since I'm trying to finish up my kitchen remodel. If you're installing the unit with a swing door, the instructions are spot on. I had also bought the add-on kit to allow the door to attach to the frame so you can pull the trash can (and door) straight out. If you use that kit, you have to blend the instructions from the two kits together. So for example, this kit has you installing the floor frame up against the front frame of the cabinet, but if you plan to use the door frame kit, you have to install it back some, so just pay attention. But as for the quality of the product, it looks great. The frame is heavy duty with some nice smooth glides. The cans themselves are what you'd expect. Overall I'm very happy and would have given it a 5 if I hadn't had to blend those two sets of instructions.Read More
smooth operator
Installed over a month ago and seems to be holding up very well. Even when pulled out all the way, as I do when cooking so garbage is readily accessible, it appears to handle the weight of both garbage and recycling bin with ease. And without compromising the tracks. The measurements were precise which was important as we were putting it in the smallest cabinet possible. Great product, great price! Thanks overstock!Read More
No more recycling bags all over the kitchen floor
Arrived on time and was very simple to install. Nice to have the handle to pull out the shelf. Exactly the amount of storage our small family needs for paper and can/bottle recycling and would work well for trash.Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello plshlp, this will not work with a door mount. This is just meant to sit in a drawer. Have a great day!
Is each can 35 quarts? I know of another system thru the same company that is a 27 quart with the same measurements as this one
Yes we have been able to confirm they are two 35 quart cans.
Does this come with the two pails or do they need to be purchased separately?
The Rev-A-Shelf comes with two waste containers.
Does installation require a drill and making holes in existing kitchen cabinet? Thank you
A drill is not necessary, but it makes installation much easier, especially if the cabinets are made of a very hard wood. Installation requires four holes to be drilled into the floor of the cabinet. If you are not using a drill, it is suggested that you make pilot holes for the screws. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.

During the month of March, I love to prepare different types of Irish meals to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. I have tweaked this recipe in order for it to be a bit healthier and guiltless. I really enjoy the walnuts as they add a nice crunch to the cake. I serve this at room temperature or I heat it up and serve it warm. Either way it is delicious.
Irish Apple Cake – 5 Points +
Southwestern Style Cornbread – 7 Points +
Cornbread does not have to be unhealthy, dry or blah tasting. This recipe adds some Mexican corn, green chilies and cheese. It's healthier with the fat-free milk. I've made this with low-fat buttermilk as well. I love this as a side with vegetarian chili.
Low Calorie Pumpkin Pie Recipe – 5 Points +
No need to skip dessert this Thanksgiving….just try this healthier, low calorie Pumpkin Pie recipe instead. By making a few small tweaks to my mom's traditional Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie, and switching out the high fat crust for a delicious whole wheat version, I was able to make this amazing Weight Watchers Pumpkin pie that is delicious, lovely, and just 5 Points + per serving! Other versions of light pumpkin pie recipes that I've seen, suggest going crustless, or, thinning out your crust as much as possible in order to lower that Points Plus value. My response to that? NO WAY!!! I loooooove pie crust. And I'm not about to sacrifice it. But I am usually pretty overwhelmed around the holidays, so I like to keep things as simple as possible. That means I buy a pre-made pie crust. No shame in my game, folks. I LOVE the Organic Whole Wheat Pie Crust from Wholly Wholesome….it tastes amazing and you'd never know it's healthier. This is usually my go to pre-made pie crust. If you prefer to make your own pie crust from scratch, by all means, go right ahead. Just make sure to use a whole wheat pie crust recipe (there's a ton of them that you can find through a quick Google search). So don't pass on the pumpkin pie this year, just serve up this Low Points Pumpkin Pie Recipe, and enjoy the guilt free indulgence. Happy Thanksgiving!
Lemonade Cupcakes – 3 Points +
Back in May, I put together an awesome Weight Watches Dessert Recipe for a super fabulous blog, It Sux to Be Fat. If you haven't ever had a chance to read her blog, Jennifer Swafford provides an open and honest dialogue there that covers Weight Loss, Exercise, Recipes and Nutrition. And she does it in a away that makes you feel like you are talking to your best friend, rather than some super skinny weight loss authority. Jennifer has lost 100 lbs with Weight Watchers and her story, advice and support are a great asset to anyone trying to lose weight, so I highly suggest checking out her blog!
Now, about those cupcakes…that's right – they are just 3 Points + each! Made with a standard cake box mix, and a few healthier substitutions, these cupcakes will rock your world! They make a fantastic summer dessert recipe to bring to a potluck or BBQ, so if you need an idea for a Weight Watchers 4th of July Recipe, this would make an awesome one. Enjoy!
Baked Buffalo Chicken Taquitos Recipe – 6 Points +
As I've mentioned time and time again on this blog, I am obsessed with Buffalo Chicken anything. And I'm always experimenting with new healthy, and low calorie ways to get my craving satisfied. Over the years, I've created a variety of Buffalo Chicken Weight Watchers Recipes, but these Baked Buffalo Chicken Taquitos are topping my list right now. Holy Moly were they good. A bit spicy for the kids, but my husband and I TORE THESE UP! If you have some leftover rotisserie chicken on hand, it works great in this recipe. I didn't, so I just boiled a couple of chicken breasts. It's a very quick and easy recipe to throw together and makes a fantastic Weight Watchers party appetizer or game day food. In fact, these are so good, they are making it to my Weight Watchers Super Bowl Recipes list. I also tried making some of these with the Mountain Bread that I posted about last week, and it worked perfectly with those too!
Corn Quiche Recipe – 4 Points +
Believe it or not, I got the idea for this delicious, crustless Corn Quiche recipe from one of my son's preschool teachers. The teachers had helped the kids make this one day for their afternoon snack, and when I came to pick up my son, he was still sitting at the table gobbling his down. One of his teachers, Ms. Sylvia, told me that he LOVED it. And it was pretty clear that was true. So, I was excited to recreate it for him at home, and figured I could transform it into a Weight Watchers friendly quiche too! So Ms. Sylvia told me what was in it, and I went to work putting it all together later that week. Because I was wanting to keep the quiche low in Points Plus, I used EggBeaters instead of real eggs. If you prefer real eggs, you'll want to use 3 large ones in place of the EggBeaters, but it will increase the Points Plus value a bit. It turned out absolutely perfect, and incredibly delicious. And just 4 Points Plus per serving. Thank you, Ms. Sylvia! Your quiche was a hit!
Reuben Casserole Recipe – 7 Points +
For as long as I can remember, Reuben sandwiches have been one of absolute favorite deli sandwiches. But as tasty as they are, they are CRAZY high in Weight Watchers Points. Remembering a Reuben Casserole that my mom used to make, I decided to try and put a lighter twist on it and see if I could come up with a delicious reuben casserole that had the same flavor profile as the traditional sandwich, but was a lot lower in Points. It ended up being pretty easy to do, and my light reuben casserole was absolutely delicious! The only thing I might do differently next time, is use shredded swiss cheese instead of the slices, just for aesthetic purposes. But at least using the slices makes it really easy to divide the servings. :) If you love a good reuben sandwich, this Weight Watchers Reuben Casserole Recipe is a must try.
Baked Cauliflower Bites Recipe – 2 Points +
Whenever I'm having a hankering for chicken nuggets, I whip up a batch of these zero guilt Baked Cauliflower Bites instead! Barbecue sauce is my usual dip of choice, but I have also had them with homemade honey mustard dip, ranch, Frank's Red Hot Sauce, and even ketchup. All of which were tremendously delicious. And with each serving being just 2 Points + (not including the sauce), these are a WAAAAAAYYY better choice than chicken nuggets! Because, let's face it, the nuggets are really only the vehicle for the dipping sauce, so why spend a lot of those Precious Weight Watchers Points on a fast food chicken nugget that's loaded with terrible ingredients? Baked Cauliflower Bites are the way to go – they are super healthy and are so low in calories that I can go to town with my dipping sauce.
Cinnamon Roll Bites – 2 Points +
To prevent myself from diving over the counter of Cinnabon at the mall, I like to make a batch of these Cinnamon Roll Bites for just 2 Points + each. They are super quick and easy to make, with the help of Pillsbury Reduced Fat Crescents dough, and taste incredible. The cream cheese icing adds the perfect sweet, gooey touch, and they really taste too good to be true. One or two of these little low calorie cinnamon rolls really helps to satisfy my craving without going overboard. Perfect for a Sunday brunch, potluck, or even as a sweet snack, these 2 Points Cinnamon Roll Bites with Cream Cheese Icing are a must try!
Leek and Cauliflower Gratin Recipe – 4 Points +
Satisfy your cravings for comfort food casseroles with this easy, low fat, Leek and Cauliflower Gratin Recipe. Just 4 Points + per serving, and you get a heaping helping of delicious leeks and cauliflower, smothered in a creamy cheese sauce and topped with crunchy Panko. Simple, yet satisfying, and very Weight Watchers friendly. It makes a wonderful side dish to go with a lean protein like fish or chicken, and it re-heats really well the next day. Also, it's a surprisingly easy dish to make. I loved making this as a side dish for dinner one night, and then using the leftovers for the next day's dinner side dish, too. This is really a great Weight Watchers casserole recipe to add to your menu. Enjoy!
Spinach and Artichoke Phyllo Log Recipe – 6 Points +
If you can't get enough spinach and artichoke dip, you came to right place today! This Spinach and Artichoke Phyllo Log takes a unique twist by putting traditional spinach artichoke dip inside sheets of whole wheat phyllo dough to create an incredible log of mouthwatering flavors – no dipping required. The crispy phyllo makes a perfect vehicle for the creamy, cheesy spinach and artichoke mixture. And the best thing is that this Weight Watchers Recipe is so versatile! I originally made this as a lunch, and ate half a phyllo log with a salad and small cup of soup. But it would also work really well as an appetizer or side dish for breakfast or brunch, simply by slicing into smaller servings. And when a half of a log is only 6 Points + this is one dish that you can really enjoy without feeling an ounce of guilt.
Chicken Tamale Casserole Recipe – 6 Points +
This unique twist on a tamale turns a popular Mexican meal into a classic American-style comfort dish that is positively delicious. A base of cornbread mixed with corn, green chilies and fresh jalapeños, topped with shredded chicken, enchilada sauce and cheese, come together to put a tamale into casserole form for just 6 Points + per serving. It's a quick and easy dish to prepare, and heats up great the next day too. This was so good, and so satisfying…it was a great Weight Watchers Dinner Recipe that the whole family could enjoy.
