It’s no big secret that I love mushrooms; I practically put them in everything I eat. I love my mother’s full-fat cream cheese and cheddar cheese glory full of countless calories even more. But, I just can’t keep eating those and expect to see the numbers change on the scale. I did really well for a while and then I started to get comfortable.
My first 5k of the season is coming up in a few weeks and I’ve decided I really want to play roller derby next season so I have got to get myself in the best shape I possibly can. That means ramping up my exercise and slimming down my calories.
As a former Weight Watchers member, I know first-hand the importance of keeping your calories in check. I love that Weight Watchers has so many portion controlled and calorie-checked options on the Kroger shelves these days.
Sadly, since moving last fall after making some pretty significant life changes, the Kroger I had come to know and love was no longer really an option for me to shop at. Not because of my old life or anything like that, but because of the sheer distance. There is a Kroger closer, but it is 1/3 of the size.
For reals.
Like as soon as you walk in and hang a left just past the checkout you are immediately greeted by the dairy isle.
BAM! Right there.
The mushrooms were located just across the way in the produce.
These Weight Watchers cheeses are amazing. Made with real, all natural cheese and let me tell you – they taste ahhhhh-mazing. Who says reduced fat products have to be lackluster and tasteless? Certainly not this girl! These Weight Watcher cheese are creamy and delicious and the singles melt all ooey and gooey.
What I love most about these stuffed mushrooms:
- They work as a side
- They work as an appetizer
- They work as a meal
- They work in replace of a burger (just add a bun!)
I added a little bit of Weight Watchers shredded cheddar to give it that warm golden glow while baking. Over-stuffed!

Those sound so yummy! I make stuffed mushrooms all the time, but I’ve never thought to put a ranch twist on it.
These sound so good. I really like stuffed mushrooms, and who doesn’t like ranch?
These look very good. I will have to try to make them in my house soon!
Wow, these look amazing and I appreciate that I can enjoy them, yet still keep my calories in check. Few things in life make me happier than a mixture of sauteed mushrooms, onions and garlic.
I love mushrooms! This recipe with ranch sounds amazing!
Oh those look great! Stuffed mushrooms are always so simple and fun. The toasted cheese on the edges looks so good.
Stuffed mushrooms are one of my favorites! We usually put mozzarella and spinach in ours, but I think your recipe is a must try this summer!
These sound so delicious. I love mushrooms!
Wow, I had no idea Weight Watchers was offering cheese now too. They have the best snacks & desserts allowing me to not feel like I’m missing out. Now I can transfer the same feelings towards meals too.
Weight Watchers cheese!? Who knew!? I love stuffed mushrooms, great recipe.
Wow, I love this. I like to try this recipe. I heard so many good things about Weight Watchers.
This is sounds good, I would love to try this one on Sunday
I love how you can make so many cool recipes and still be on weight watchers! It makes you feel like you are not really giving all that much up!
I’m not a huge mushroom fan but my husband loves them, will share this with him and he can make em. He loves to make new things.
I love mushrooms. I will have to look for Weight Watchers cheese so I can make this recipe on the weekend. I am always looking for healthy recipes to try.
Mushrooms are always part of my never-ending cravings. This one looks like it will happily continue it for me, hah! Although it’s rare for me to come across Weight Watcher products, I’ll have to keep an eye out for them.
Those mushrooms don’t just look overstuffed, they look over sized. I bet they are delicious, but I doubt I could eat a whole one!
This looks amazing. I love that I can have my cheese and stay on WW 🙂
I bet my husband would love these! I need to make them for him sometime soon. It’s great that they’re WW friendly.
My husband enjoys stuff mushrooms.
I really like your layout for this info.
Weight watchers is really stepping it up. So not just frozen food meals anymore they are encouraging you to make your own homemade meals which is brilliant…didnt know they had their own line of cheese!
This sounds like such a great dish. I would have never thought that this would be on weight watchers. Awesome!
Gorgeous! I’l try this recipe soon 🙂
Thank you! I hope you like it. Thanks for the retweet as well!
