*Cran-tastic Pears

PER SERVING (1/4th of recipe): 98 calories, 0g fat, 20mg sodium, 26g carbs, 5g fiber, 17g sugars, 0.5g protein -- POINTS® value 1*

Pssst... This one's even better the next day! It's also AMAZING served with light vanilla ice cream or fat-free yogurt!

Ingredients:
4 medium pears, sliced
12 oz. Diet Ocean Spray Cranberry Spray
dash cinnamon

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lay pear slices flat in a large baking dish sprayed lightly with nonstick spray. Sprinkle with cinnamon, and then pour cranberry drink over the pears. Pop the pan in the oven and let cook for 45 minutes (or until pears are soft). Remove pan from the oven, and let pears sit in the "juice" for at least a half-hour. Enjoy hot, cold, or anywhere in between!

*EZ Tomato Basil Chicken

PER SERVING (1/4th of recipe): 175 calories, 1.5g fat, 251mg sodium, 11g carbs, 2g fiber, 6g sugars, 28g protein -- POINTS® value 3*

Toss leftovers on top of lettuce for a saucy, second-day salad that's ready in seconds...

Ingredients:
1 lb. raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast tenders
Half a 28-oz. can (about 1 1/2 cups) crushed tomatoes with basil
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced onions

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. While you wait for the oven to preheat, cook onions over high heat in a pan sprayed with nonstick spray, just until they begin to brown (about 3 minutes). Pour half of the tomatoes (1/4th of the can) into a medium baking pan. Lay chicken in the pan, and then top with onions. Pour the rest of the tomatoes (another quarter of the can) evenly over the chicken and onions. Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes (until chicken is cooked through). Allow chicken to cool and sauce to thicken slightly before serving. Tada!

*Peaches 'n Cream Microwave Cupcake

PER SERVING (entire recipe): 120 calories, 2g fat, 190mg sodium, 25g carbs, 1g fiber, 10g sugars, 1g protein -- POINTS® value 2*

Yup... we found yet another brilliant use for baby food!

Ingredients:
2 1/2 tbsp. Pillsbury Moist Supreme Reduced Sugar Cake Mix, Classic Yellow
4 tsp. Gerber Peaches (or another brand of pureed peaches, found in the baby food aisle)
2 tbsp. Fat Free Reddi-wip

Directions:
In a small microwave-safe dish (like a ramekin or custard dish), combine cake mix and peaches. Gently stir until completely blended. (Don't worry if it seems like a small amount. Your cake will puff up -- we promise!) Microwave for 1 minute, and then let sit in the microwave to set for a full 5 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, run a knife along the sides of the dish to release the cake and pop it onto a plate (or you could just leave it in the dish to be consumed!). Then top your cupcake off with the Reddi-wip, and enjoy!

    I made the EZ Tomato Basil Chicken tonight but used pork chops instead b/c that's what I had out.
    It was soooooooooooooo good! I added some minced garlic with the onions. Very EZ(:wink:), yummy and fast.
