Teriyaki Chicken Fillets

I bought these at costco for about $15. I dice all of the chicken up and serve it with rice and a veggie. These are pretty tasty and and great easy meal. Just bake for 18-20 minutes. The best part? They are only 3 points per breast even covered in gooey teriyaki!

Do you ever just eat a bowl of steamed broccoli? I love it as an afternoon snack sprayed with my favorite, I can't believe it's not butter spray. I can have ALOT of it for 0 points!

Back to Nature Cookies

This might possibly be the cookie you've been looking for.


I found these at Sam's club. They came in 3 sealed packages with 8 cookies to a package for around $7. (The package looked a different than the one pictured) The best part is that these are good size cookies for only 3 points. They met my need for sweet but also satisfied me at one cookie! I also felt good knowing they are better for me than my original recipe too.
(I tried the tlc version, and while I LOVE tlc crackers, I liked these cookies much better.)

I love when it's strawberry season and I can order this salad at Panera. It is so good yet so low on points. Today I ordered 1/2 salad, and onion soup with the cheese and croutons. I figure my lunch was approx. 7 points with the bite of french roll I had too. :)

BARBECUE SAUCE

Are you tired of paying 3 to 5 dollars for barbecue sauce? I found this recipe in the WW Grill it cookbook pg. 39. Barbecued Beef on a Bun, I only used the barbecue recipe but I want to try the full recipe.

1/2 cup grated onion

1/4 ketchup

2-tsp dark molasses I used unsulfured.

1 tsp. chili powder

1 tsp. steak sauce

Super easy and I double it. Next time I am adding pepper flakes for when I make beef jerky in my dehydrator.

These ingredients are all condiments do we have to count any points? I don't! Making grilled pork chops and this sauce is going on them Yummy!

Trader Joe's "Frozen" Brown Rice

Do you ever avoid making brown rice because it takes longer or because you are the only one who will eat it? I have. I was so happy to find tj's frozen brown rice. It's EASY, it's small portioned and it tastes great! And, it's only around $3 for a box. I am starting to keep this on hand!
Look for it in the frozen section. Each box has 3 pouches which contain 2 cups each (6 cups total per box). You can heat the bags in the microwave, or even toss the contents in directly with veggies in a saute pan.

Strawberries and Blackberries 1 1/2 - 2 pts!

1 cup of strawberries are .5 pts
1 cup of blueberries are 1 pt
I like to add 1 -2 tsp sugar on my cut berries and leave in the fridge for a light glaze. 1/2 pt for the sugar.

Berries only, 1 1/2 pts. With sugar glaze, 2 pts. Mmmmmmmm!
I just love spring and summer fruit and veggies! Anyone good at bbq veggies?
P.S. This is my own picture, not copied from anywhere, doesn't it look good?! :)

Did you know that you can have 1/2 cup of delicious thrifty rainbow sherbet for only 2 pts? That is 2 points well spent if you ask me!
