Spinach Salad

3 points


spinach ~1 cup
thawed frozen peas ~1/4 cup
carrots sliced ~1/3 cup
craisins ~1/8 cup
Kraft Catalina Free dressing ~2 tbsp


I eat this salad for my lunch quite often, and if I am eating it for dinner, I usually will add baked chicken or sliced sandwich meat to it to get protein. I cut up a lot of carrots at a time and put them in a bag in the fridge, so that it is easy to pull out. This is a great meal option if your points are running low, or if you just love salad.

Lasagna Soup

This was tonight's dinner and the kids did okay with it. It's not their favorite but I really enjoy it. The picture is what was left in the pot after feeding our family of 6. You can freeze this in 1 cup portions and have lunch or dinner for another day.

Lasagna Soup
1 pound hamburger (I use elk, it's lower in fat and better for you)
1/2 cup onion
Brown these two together.
Hamburger Helper Lasagna Seasoning mix
5 cups Water
1 can (14 1/2 oz.) diced tomatoes-undrained
1 can (15 oz.) corn-undrained
Add to meat and Simmer 10 minutes
2 Tablespoons Parmesan
1 small zucchini
Noodles from the Hamburger Helper Lasagna Mix
Add and Simmer another 10 minutes or until the noodles are tender.

1 cup serving is 3 points.

Pumpkin Brownies

Okay let's start with a disclaimer it's hard to get a good picture of brownies. I didn't create this recipe we heard about it in our WW meeting and it can be found on the WW site. Enough said now on to the good part, the recipe.

PUMPKIN BROWNIES
1 box devil's food cake mix
1 can 100% pure pumpkin (I think it was 15 oz) not pumpkin pie filling.

Mix together, it will be thick, just keep at it. Spread in a 9 X 13 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Cut into 20 pieces. My kids had no idea there was pumpkin in them.

2 points per brownie
