Braised Lamb Shanks In Red Wine Sauce

Fall Off the Bone Lamb Shanks Braised in Red Wine Sauce

Lamb shanks are full of flavor. Prepared this way, the juicy tender meat literally falls off the bone. And the gravy is amazing, poured over the shanks as well as mashed potatoes! At 14 to 22 PointsPlus per serving, this is definitely a splurge meal.

Shepherds Pie

Alton Brown’s Shepherd’s Pie

Alton Brown’s Shepherd’s Pie has been a St. Paddy’s week staple in our home for four years. The kids absolutely love it. But, I’m a traditionalist and insist on serving our Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage (another kid favorite) on St. Paddy’s Day. So this dish is dinner either the night before or the night after. 10 Weight Watchers PointsPlus per serving.

Pumpkin Muffins

Easy 2 PointsPlus Pumpkin Spice Muffins

These ridiculously easy two-ingredient muffins are just 2 Weight Watchers PointsPlus each, yet they don’t taste like “light” muffins. Can be made ahead for a full work week’s breakfast!

Skinny Pumpkin Banana Bread

Nothing makes fall and winter mornings better than warm pumpkin bread with a hot cup of coffee. Bake this on a Sunday evening, slice it up for the work week, and reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds. And a full loaf makes a great gift! Just 3 PointsPlus per serving!
