Turkey Wraps











1 1/2 tsp olive oil mayo
1/2 tsp mustard
dash of salad supreme seasoning
1 cup spinach
2 oz sliced turkey meat
1/8 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tortilla

Mix mayo and mustard together. Spread on the tortilla and sprinkle with the salad supreme. Put spinach and cheese on. Top with turkey. Roll up tightly and cut.

With my two point tortilla, this entire wrap was only 5 pointsplus.

I ate it with 1/2 cup sf applesauce and 1/4 cup ff cottage cheese for a delicious 7 point lunch.

Sweet Potato and Squash Bake











1/2 pound sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
2 pounds acorn squash, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
2 tsp oil
1 TBSP unpacked brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Preheat oven to 375*. Coat 8 inch casserole dish with cooking spray.

Place sweet potatoes and squash in pan and drizzle with oil and sprinkle with the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss to coat well.

Bake with a lid or tin foil for about 35 minutes. Stir a few times while cooking.

Makes 6 -- 1/2 cup servings.
3 pointsplus per serving.

Yummy!

The squash baked a lot faster, so that is why I put to cut it smaller.

Chicken Teriyaki with Broccoli










Chicken Teriyaki with Broccoli




2 medium garlic cloves, minced

1 pound uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes

4 medium scallions, chopped (green and white parts)

1/2 cups fat-free chicken broth

2 Tbsp teriyaki sauce

2 cups cooked brown rice, regular or instant, kept hot

4 cups broccoli, fresh, florets, steamed
(filling foods: chicken, scallions, chicken broth, brown rice, broccoli)

Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add garlic; cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Add chicken; cook until golden brown on all sides, stirring often, about 5 minutes.

Add scallions; cook until soft, stirring, about 2 minutes. Add broth and teriyaki sauce; simmer until chicken is cooked through and sauce reduces slightly, about 5 minutes.

Spoon 1/2 cup of cooked rice into each of 4 shallow bowls; spoon about 1 cup of chicken mixture and 1/2 cup of broccoli over each serving.

4 servings. 5 points a serving (including the rice)

I added steamed carrots on the side.

My kids ate this so well. I couldn't believe it. Bryan ate almost as much chicken as I did. I think that I only had a little more than 1/2 cup chicken on mine, not the full cup it calls for.
