New Recipes...Santa Fe Soup and Apple-Cranberry Crisp

Santa Fe Soup is so yummy and my mom makes it all the time!  It's a weight watchers recipe and has a total of 5 points per serving.  This soup is great on rainy, cold days and terrific for super bowl parties.  Guys usually love it and don't even know it's a weight watchers recipe. Enjoy!

Apple-Cranberry Crisp is one of my favorite desserts.  One serving is worth 4 points on the weight watchers scale and Philip will even eat this dessert.  This is also a great sweet dish to serve during the holidays.
