Hi all!! I've never posted here on the WISH board (although I am a regular in other places around here
), but I wanted to let you all know about the new Weight Watchers meals that they offer at Applebee's. I was told about them by my leader at my WW meeting on Friday.... so it was out to dinner that night!! THere are about 6 entrees and two or three desserts. The entrees include a couple of dinner size salads with chicken, a Teriyaki shrimp skewer with rice/veggies, a grilled tilapia with mango salsa and rice/veggies, a chicken skillet meal (like fajitas), a chicken wrap sandwich type thing.... cannot remember the rest!!
Anyhow, I started with the onion soup. Very not worth the points (3) or price. I would personally skip it. But then again, I have never been a huge onion soup fan. I would like to see them offer a minestrone or vegetable WW soup. I was torn between the Baja chicken roll-up sandwich (grilled chicken with black beans, corn, and a few other things) for 10 points and the Sizzling Chicken skillet for 7 points. I picked the chicken skillet. It was presented sort of like a fajita. The chicken/peppers/onions were delivered on a skillet (not exactly sizzling, but hot). Next time I would ask for them to be cooked more. I love grilled onions/peppers, but these were not done enough for me. There was also a fajita warmer of tortilla quarters (looked like one LARGE tortilla that was cut into quarters), and a plate with a small dish of some sort of dressing, a small dish of spicey red sauce, and a mound of chopped lettuce.
I used the tortilla pieces and ate most of it like fajitas. Then, with the remaining chicken/pepper mix, I added the lettuce and dressing and ate it like a salad. The red sauce was spicy but probably not too bad for most people.
I thought that the serving size was plenty and I really enjoyed it and look forward to going again! My WW leader has tried the Teriyaki shrimp and said it was tasty, but the serving portion seemed a bit small. (I believe it is two skewers with 5 shrimp each and a small mound of rice and some veggies).
I didn't try any of the desserts. The two that I recall was a chocolate raspberry layer cake, and a lemon cheesecake (a scoop of cheesecake on a bed of fresh strawberries and drizzled with raspberry sauce).
Anyhow, that is my review for you. But my DH and I will have to alternate going to Applebee's with going to TGIFridays, as they have an Atkins menu for him!!
Have a great weekend!......................P

Today I had the onion soup au gratin (3 points) & the mesquite chicken salad (4 points). They were both just ok but when I think about eating out for only 7 points that makes it even better!!
The veggies looked good, cousin's DS ate my carrots, but again, those are 'funky' to me. blech Broccoli and, I think, yellow squash was mixed in too. For 5 points it was worth it. $9.99 Now, as for server quality...she brought our meals before we finished our soup so, my shrimp were not at all hot, barely warm, by the time I ate them. Good thing shrimp can be eaten that way. 
So, she had the grilled citrus chicken salad instead. She liked it, but said it was spicy! 
She also devoured the chocolate raspberry layer cake.
