    I have a great one for chicken noodle soup, Throw in the crockpot - boneless chicken breast (I used 1lb), 2-32oz fat free chicken stock, chopped celery, carrots, onions. 1 bay leaf, 1 tsp thyme, 2 cloves garlic minced, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, 1 tbsp dried parsley. Cook on high until veg tender and chicken falls apart. take the chicken out and pull it with a fork, return to crockpot. Add No Yolk Egg noodles (half bag) and let that go until they are soft. Its super easy and really good!

    4 points for two cups not sure on the calories, but this is delicious and SUPER filling:)


    Trying this one today. Thanks for the recipe!

    This one is great! Not sure on the calories, but it's definitely not bad for you :)

    Cranberry Pork Roast

    Buy a pork roast. I use a 3 to 4 pound one for 3 people (keep in mind the size reduces significantly while cooking)
    Season the roast with a bit of salt and pepper.
    Put the roast, whole, into the crock pot. Add about 1 to 2 cups of water.
    Add 1 clove of minced garlic and 2 bay leaves, whole.
    Add 1 teaspoon of thyme.
    Cook this all on medium heat for about 4 hours, then take the roast out, and cut it into slices.
    Add 2 cans of whole berry no sugar cranberry sauce (I think I buy the Ocean Spray kind) and put the roast slices back in.
    Cook on low for about 4 more hours, or until tender to your liking.

    It is SUPER easy and as you can see, doesn't take a whole lot of ingredients.
    I serve it with roasted potatoes, just dice them up, drizzle with a little EVOO, and pop them in the oven on 450 for about 45 minutes. You don't even have to check them til they're done :)

    A month or so ago I bought a Fix It and Forget It cookbook ..Diabetic cookbook for Crock-pots. (My husband is diabetic) It has calorie and nutrition break down for most of the recipes. I love it. I cook at least one meal a week from it. I just wish they made crock pot liners in boxes bigger than only 4 liners...LOL

    Mustard Onion Chuck Roast in Foil
    2 tbsp. dry mustard
    1 1/2 tsp. water;
    3-pound trimmed beef chuck pot roast
    2 medium onions, chunked;
    1/2-cup soy sauce....

    Blend mustard and water to make a paste; let stand for 5 minutes. Place a large enough piece of foil to cover meat in a shallow baking pan; place meat on foil. Sprinkle onion pieces on meat. Stir 1 tbsp. soy sauce into mustard mixture, blending until smooth; stir in remaining soy sauce. Pour mixture evenly over beef and onions. Fold foil over meat; seal securely. Roast at 325 for 3 hours. Remove from oven, slice across grain, and serve with meat juices. My family loves this, and it's great for those days when the late afternoon is hectic. Throw it in at 3; it's ready at 6. Plus chuck roast is so cheap.

    course | Light Meals
    Ingredients
    8 slices Oscar Mayer cooked center-cut bacon, cut in small pieces
    1/3 cup onion, chopped
    3/4 cup Kraft 2% Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese

    This is adapted from a tried and true Bisquick recipe. It reheats well and can be modified in several ways -- add veggies (green onion, green pepper, broccoli) etc or try lean diced ham, 2% swiss cheese, and mushrooms for a different twist. This is a great lunch with a green salad, or a breakfast treat. Enjoy.

    Crispy Salmon Cakes With Lemon-Caper Mayonnaise
    Flavored mayonnaise:
    6 tablespoons fat-free mayonnaise
    2 teaspoons capers
    1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
    1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
    Salmon Cakes:
    1 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided
    1/4 cup finely chopped onion
    1/4 cup finely chopped celery
    3/4 cup crushed fat-free saltine crackers (about 20 crackers), divided
    1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    2 (7.5-ounce) cans salmon, drained, flaked, and bone pieces removed
    1 large egg, lightly beaten
    Chilling the patties for these salmon croquettes keeps them from falling apart when you cook them in the skillet. The lemon-caper mayonnaise--used here instead of commercial tartar sauce--is also great with other fish.
    1. To prepare flavored mayonnaise, combine first 6 ingredients in a small bowl; cover and chill.
    2. To prepare salmon cakes, heat 1 teaspoon oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and celery; saute 4 minutes or until tender. Combine onion mixture, 1/2 cup crackers, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, salmon, and egg in a medium bowl. Divide salmon mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Coat each patty with 1 tablespoon crackers. Cover and chill 20 minutes.
    3. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add patties; cook for 5 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Serve the salmon cakes with flavored mayonnaise. Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 cake and 1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise).

    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 tablespoon butter
    1 cup fresh sliced mushrooms
    1/2 cup Marsala wine

    In a medium bowl mix the flour, garlic salt, pepper and oregano. Set aside. Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until fat bubbles. Dredge chicken in flour mixture and shake off excess. Fry in skillet for 2 minutes or until lightly browned on first side. Turn chicken over and add mushrooms. Cook about 2 minutes, until other side of chicken is lightly browned. Stir mushrooms so that they cook evenly. Add Marsala wine. Cover skillet, turn heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.

    3 cups fat-free, low sodium chicken broth
    1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
    1 ¼ cups sliced green onions
    1 ¼ cups finely shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
    Preheat oven to 400º. Pierce potatoes with a fork, bake at 400º for 1 hour or until tender. Cool slightly. Partially mash potatoes, including skins, with a potato masher; set aside.
    Cook bacon in a Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan; crumble. Add onion to bacon drippings in pan saute 5 minutes. Add salt, garlic, and bay leaf; saute 2 minutes.

    Spray griddle or 10 inch non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Heat griddle over medium heat or to 375 degrees. (To test griddle, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If bubbles skitter around, heat is just right.)

    Sorry everyone, I messed up on the milk ingredient my first try. Also, I used all skim milk, no buttermilk, and they turned out fine.

    Ingredients
    1 yellow Jiffy cake mix (25)
    8 oz ff cream cheese (8)
    1 large box sf vanilla pudding mix (8)
    2 cups skim milk (4)
    20 oz can crushed pineapple, drained (4)
    8 oz tub ff coolwhip (8)
    Instructions
    Prepare cake mix as directed & spread in 9 x 13 pan. Bake about 15 min. While cake is baking, mix pudding mix, milk, & cream cheese; and allow to set in fridge.

Store in the fridge. Cut into 20 pieces.
    Special Notes
    Total points 57 divided by 20 = 2.85pts, I rounded up to 3. Also, if you can't find Jiffy cake mix you could probably use half of a regular yellow cake mix (it needs to be a thin cake to allow for the other layers) and make cupcakes out of the left over cake mix, but you'll have to refigure the points.

    2 egg whites
    1 1/3 cups water
    4 cups cold ff milk
    1 pkg. (lg) or 2 small, ff, sf, lemon flavor instant pudding mix.
    Instructions
    Bake cake as directed on box for baking directions. Bake in 9 by 13 pan. Remove from oven. Immediately poke holes down through cake with round handle of a wooden spoon (or plastic). Make holes about 1 inch apart. You can also use a drinking straw. It's important to do this part well in order for the pudding to go down into the cake. The pudding gets thick quickly too. So you have to not wait too long in doing it.!!!

    Mix the cold milk and pudding mix together. Beat w/ wire whisk for about 2 min. Quickly pour about 1/2 of the mixture into the cake. Reserve the rest to pour over the cake when it thickens a bit more. about 2 minutes or so and frost cake with it. Refrigerate cake for about an hr. or until ready to use.
    Special Notes
    You can use the nutritional analysis on the packages to calculate the points. I came up w/ about 4 points for 1/12 of the cake. Adding ff cool whip may be another point....according to how much you use

    I fix this easy chicken recipe alot -

    3 chicken breasts
    1 can cream of chicken soup (98% ff)
    1 can cream of celery soup (98% ff)
    1/2 pkg of either ranch dressing mis or italian dressing mix

    Mix the soups & dressing mix together. Pour soup mixture on top of chicken breasts. Cook all day on low. I often times fix some long grain/wild rice to go along with this. Use a crock pot liner and clean up is super easy!
