One thing I like to do is use 1/2 whole wheat noodles and 1/2 zoodles. This allows me to eat less carbs, but still get some carbs in. Just add the zucchini zoodles to your pasta in the last 2-3 minutes of cooking your pasta.

I like to take ham slices from the deli and wrap a slice over a pickle (some pickles are high in sugar... you'll have to find one that isn't too bad). These store pretty well in the fridge. Other ideas.... 4 triscuits and a lowfat mozzarella cheese stick. 9 raw almonds and one Bliss chocolate square Marilyn

On the Swiss steak, you use probably more than a 1/4 cup. You squeeze out enough to cover the onions.

I've never made this in a crockpot, but it would probably work. This is my mother's recipe, and was a huge favorite in our family. She normally baked in the oven, but I think it would work in a crockpot. Very simple to make. Swiss Steak London broil salt pepper 1 large onion, sliced 2 cans chopped tomatoes Yellow mustard I…

I'd probably mix low fat cottage cheese with low fat buttermilk to mix with the ranch powder. Marilyn

This recipe is called Greek Frittata and it's a Weight Watcher recipe that I slightly modified. It's a good recipe if you're diabetic, but it's not low fat. I like to make it on the weekend when I have some time to prepare it. 1 tsp. olive oil 1 baby Yukon Gold or red potato, shredded with a cheese grater (about 2 oz.) 1/3…

You mentioned you add cheese to the burritos but not how much. Also, how do you re-heat these? They really sound delicious. I'd like to try them. Marilyn

This is my favorite dressing. It makes 1 tbs. of dressing, but it's so flavorful, that's all you need. 1 tsp. olive oil 1 tsp. balsamic vinegar 1 tsp. Dijon mustard That's it! Delicious! I find I don't really need to add salt (Dijon mustard has sodium) or pepper and or herbs. Marilyn
