I thought that this is a good place for all of us to share our best WW (or whatever diet your on 
) recipes. I am going to 2 dinners on Thanksgiving, and I plan on bringing something to at least one of them that I can eat! Here are a few of my appetizer recipes that I'm thinking of making:
Reubin:
6 slice rye bread, cut into quarters, or 24 mini party breads
1 serving cooking spray (5 one-second sprays per serving), or enough to coat bread
1/4 cup diet thousand island salad dressing
8 oz low-fat hard cheese, Swiss, cut into 24 pieces
1/4 pound cooked corned beef brisket, lean, cut into 24 pieces
1 cup sauerkraut, drained
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place rye bread on baking sheet; coat each piece with cooking spray.
Spread 1/2 teaspoon Thousand Island dressing on each piece of bread. Layer with 1 piece each, Swiss cheese and corned beef, and 2 teaspoons sauerkraut.
Bake for 15 minutes. Serve immediately. Yields one reuben bite per serving
Basil Cheese Triangles
1 Feta cheese
2 eggs - slightly beaten
1/4 cup basil leaves - finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
16 ounces phyllo dough - thawed
1/3 cup butter
Heat oven to 400 F. Grease cookie sheet. Crumble Feta cheese into small bowl; mash with fork. Stir in eggs, basil, and white pepper until well mixed. Cut stack of phyllo sheets lengthwise into 2-inch strips. Cover with plastic wrap, then with damp towel to prevent them from drying out.
Place 1 level teaspoon cheese mixture on end of 1 strip; fold phyllo strip end over end, in triangular shape, to opposite end. Place on cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining strips and cheese mixture. Brush butter over triangles.
Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until puffed and golden. Serve warm.
