Snack Ideas

As I said yesterday here are some  snack ideas:

1 oz. nuts=5 Points Plus

10 Kashi TLC crackers-1 wedge Laughing Cow Cheese=3 Points Plus

1 slice Sara Lee Delightful toasted-1 Tbsp. Better n Peanut Butter= 2 Points Plus

1/2 medium apple- 1 Tbsp. Better n Peanut Butter= 1 Points Plus

4 celery stalks-2 Tbsp. Better n Peanut Butter= 2 Points Plus

1 cup cubed cantaloupe-3/4 cup 1% cottage cheese=3 Points Plus

1 cup sliced cucumber-3 oz. salmon-3 Tbsp. light cream cheese=4 Points Plus

3/4 cup 1% cottage cheese-1/2 tsp. dill weed-1/8 cup each: shredded carrot,diced celery,diced bell pepper=3 Points Plus


Basil-Vegetable Quiche

 Quiche-Baby Carrots-Spinach Salad
The Quiche is a recipe I shared earlier this week. It was given to my by Debv. I'm here to tell you it is very good and 1/4 of the pie is only 3 Points Plus. I served it with Baby Carrots - Fat Free Ranch- Spinach,Grapes , Orange sections with 1 Tbsp. Newmans Own Ginger Sesame Dressing = 3 Points Plus for the whole plate of food.

I have points left to make me some home made microwave popcorn and an apple

Microwave Popcorn= 2 Points Plus

2 Tbsp popcorn kernels
1 brown paper bag

Put kernels into bag. Roll top of bag down 3 times. Pop on high in micro-wave about 1-2 minutes. When kernels are down to popping every 3 seconds your popcorn should be done.

The savings are vast. 1- 1lb bag of popcorn will make about 50 bags of popped corn. Plus you can add whatever flavors you think you will like. Molly McButter, Molly McCheddar, Taco Seasoning, Cinnamon and Splenda- These are just a few of my favorites.

 Eat and enjoy.
