OK here goes...
Cooking right now in my kitchen is
KIELBASA-BEAN SLOW COOKER SOUP
Serves 8, 3 points each serving

58 oz of chicken broth ( 4 14.5 cans)
1 lb ring of low fat kielbasa sliced and then halfed ( 1/2 circle pieces)
16 oz can drained and rinsed pinto beans
16 oz can drained and rinsed black beans
4 med carrots diced
3 celery sticks chopped
1 large onion chopped
1 tsp. thyme
14.5 oz can diced tomatoes undrained

Add all items into crock pot except tomatoes. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until beans are soft.
Stir in tomatoes during the last 15 minutes, turn up crock pot to high during that time.
Serves 8, hearty soup for 3 points( which is 8 oz. ) its great !!! Even if you eat twice as much its only 6 points.
I have lots more to follow.....

No Noodle Vegetable Lasagna
Serves 12, 5 points each ( I don't think this really serves 12 to well, its not that much) but it was still very good !

1 med eggplant sliced lenghtwise into 1/4 inch slices
2 med zuchini , trimmed, slliced lenghtwise in 1/4 inch slices
1 egg beaten
3/4 lb. part skim ricotta
1/4 cup fresh basil chopped
1/2 cup grated Parm, high quality
4 cups store bought spag sauce ( I used Ragu)
1/2 lb part skim mozz cheese

Roast veggies on a cookie sheet at 400 degrees. Pam the sheets, and Pam the veggies both sides. Roast approx 8-10 minutes on one side,and then flip and cook another 8 -10 minutes. Watch as you don't want them to get mushy.

In a med bowl mix egg, ricotta, basil, and parm cheese. Set aside.

Reduce oven to 350 degrees.

Layer in oblong pan ( sprayed with Pam)
1/4 cup of sauce on bottom of pan
Layer eggplant - all of it
Cover with 1/2 of sauce
Layer 1/2 of ricotta cheese next
layer 1/2 of Mozz cheese
layer zuchini next-all of it
remaining sauce
remaining ricotta
remaining mozz
top with Parm cheese

Bake for 35-40 minutes
Remove and let rest for 15 or sp minutes
Suppost to serve 12, but I would say more like 8...which would be 7.5 points .....
Sounds like a lot of work, but it really wasn't....
Enjoy, I got lots more....

Skinny Spinach and Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms

Skinny Spinach and Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms






Mushroom caps are generously stuffed with a combination of sautéed baby spinach, chopped mushrooms, bacon, bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. A lighter alternative to traditional stuffed mushrooms yet loaded with tons of flavor. The stuffing is so good, I could eat it by the spoonful!


I like the flavor of real bacon, so I buy center cut which is a bit leaner than regular bacon and I drain it well after cooking. Can you make them with turkey bacon? Sure, if you don't eat pork that would work.


Can you make these vegetarian? Why not replace the bacon with a little Feta cheese and chopped fresh herbs.


Can you make them ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the stuffing ahead, then fill and bake them right before serving.


They are only 34 calories each or for those of you on Weight Watchers, only 1 point each so I know what some of you will be making Superbowl Sunday!! Enjoy!

I finally broke down and faced the metal monster. I'm happy to report I'm down 5 lbs.

I have some recipes I want to post. However, I don't have the PP values, only the old points values. I can't use WW's recipe builder as I'm not a member. Once I find a similar program and am able to get the new PP values, I'll post the recipes.
