Since my kids have become old enough to understand the meaning of Valentine’s day (albeit more so contrived to boost the quarterly reports of card and flower companies, than be a reminder to fete your love ones with kisses) the holiday has completely changed from an egocentric experience, to one where my sole focus has become a day my kids know I’m allowed unsolicited and *gasp* gratuitous public displays of affection with them as my targets. So how does a weight watchers mini cheesecakes recipe fit into my Valentine’s Day plan?!
I can’t imagine what this day will be like when my daughter is fretting over whether or not her boyfriend sent her a dozen roses and my son is nervously picking out a box of chocolates for the object of his affection. Until that day arrives, I am more than happy to use this holiday ( contrived by corporations or not) to remind my kids that expressing love for another human being, is one of the most powerful gifts they can bestow upon another. And to help the get in the spirit of the holiday we will be baking and eating treats! Keep reading for my recipe for weight watchers mini cheesecakes and if you are ready to roll up your sleeves try my Weight Watchers Lemon Pound Cake that you and yours can whip up together to show your love for one another!

February 3, 2018 at 12:05 amThis is the perfect Valentine’s Day family treat! I think I would probably eat 5 points worth of these, though. But I do love those bite-sized desserts, because you feel less guilty and these are not full of fat, either.
