hello, i love your site, and i follow weight watchers but i am on the purple plan and was wondering whyy you give points for green and blue, but not purple thank you and keepthe recipes coming i have tried several of them
Sorry Kathleen, but at this point, I’m only including Blue and Green points. For all of these years, I’ve used a different program than WW to input all of my recipes to do the nutrition facts and points
I have hundreds of recipes and don’t have the time to input them into WW to make the calculations for the purple plan. Maybe in the future.
Thanks for joining me on Skinny Kitchen. I’m thrilled to hear you are enjoying my recipes!
My best,
Nancy
I tried the ranch, it was really good. Thanks for these recipes
My pleasure, Karen. I hope you try some of these others!
All the best,
Nancy
