Weight Watchers Recipe of the Day: SkinnyTaste Make Ahead Western Omelet Muffins
These skinny make-ahead Western omelet muffins are the perfect solution for breakfasts on the run.
Bake a batch and you'll have breakfast ready and waiting in the fridge. Just give them a quick reheat and you're set to go.
They're the first recipe I've tried from one of my latest cookbook acquisitions: The Skinnytaste Cookbook: Light on Calories, Big on Flavor.
Western Omelet Muffins Recipe Notes
I used finely chopped ham, green onion, red bell pepper and reduced fat cheddar cheese in these omelet muffins, but they're easy to customize to suit your likes and what you have on hand.
Using half whole eggs and half egg whites keeps them lower in fat and calories while still getting the health benefits of the yolks.
How Many Calories and WW Points in these Omelet Muffins?
According to my calculations, each 2-muffin serving has just 119 calories and
3 *SmartPoints (Green plan)
1 *SmartPoints (Blue plan)
1 *SmartPoints (Purple plan)
3 *PointsPlus (Old plan)

If you're a Weight Watcher, you're most likely familiar with Gina and her blog Skinnytaste. Gina turned to Weight Watchers when she wanted to lose a few pounds. Though she liked the program it was a struggle to find enough tempting recipes to help her stay on track and satisfy her family. She started Skinnytaste when she began successfully "skinny-fying" her favorite meals.
Her Skinnytaste Cookbook features 150 amazing recipes that are light on calories, big on flavor. With 100 stunning photographs and detailed nutritional information for every recipe it's an incredible resource of deliciously satisfying meals that every home cook will love.
I've already flagged dozens of recipes I can't wait to try.

I love cookbooks! And Skinnytaste! I do have a collection of amazing cookbooks but have found lately I turn to Pinterest for most of my menus/recipes. Many of them courtesy of Skinnytaste 🙂

I guess the cookbook I use the most would be Taste of Home Comfort Food Diet. But lately I have been using recipes from Facebook Simple Nourished Living, Skinnytaste and Weight Watchers have been my go-to place for recipes.

I've just really started getting into cooking more withing the last few months so I don't have a favorite cookbook yet. I would LOVE a copy of your cookbook because I have no books on healthy eating and want to make a lifestyle change not just for me but for my toddler as well. I grew up overweight and still fight that battle, and I want her and I to have as happy, healthy and delicious future 🙂
Marcie Finn
i use simplenorished which is your web site for recipes and Hungry Girl. I also have been using the recipe builder on the WW app. Trying to stay focused and in control. I really would love to win to the Skinny Taste Cookbook as it would help me stay motivated and on program. Thank you!
Sarah Benedict
My favorite cookbook is one compiled by my church a few years ago. It has some great recipes! I would like to win the Skinnytaste cookbook because Gina's recipes are delicious and I look to her blog for recipes regularly.
Brandi Crawford
My favorite cookbooks are the Calling All Cooks series. They were given to me when I got married and I have added each additional edition when it came out. I love them because my grandmother and mother cooked from them but they are not WW or diet friendly.
Mary Jane Reymann
My current favorite cookbook is "Smitten Kitchen". I'll be doing her brisket recipe for our family Christmas gathering in a few weeks. I would like a copy of the Skinnytast book because I've been a follower of the Skinnytaste blog for over a year and since everything that I have made has turned out great. Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season and a happy, healthy new year.

I don't use a cookbook per say. What I do is print and make many of your recipes! I just love your website! Your recipes are very flavorful and easy to follow. Which is why I like your site! I've been on Weightwatcher's for 6 months and am down 51 pounds since Thanksgiving. I would really like to win your cookbook so I can save a lot of money on printer ink! Thank you!
