Copycat Outback Wedge Salad

This is my new favorite naughty (meaning has calories) salad. It's still a good choice if you use low fat blue cheese.

Ice berg lettuce cut into 6 wedges

1piece bacon crumbled (1pp)

1/4 c red onion slivered

1/8 cup gorgonzala or blue cheese crumbles (1pp)

2 tbls low fat blue cheese dressing (3pp)

1 tbl balsalmic glaze (1pp)

total 6 pp great for meal with a cup of low point soup!

Chocolate Covered Strawberries-

I love this! Who would have thought you could dip your fruit, or whatever else in chocolate and have it be low calorie. Now you can, just use fat free low cal chocolate pudding. Perfect for Valentine's Day!

Quote I love

YES IT'S HARD! BUT I CAN DO HARD THINGS!

0 point plus dessert!

I was introduced to this by one of my favorite weight watcher members, Marla. I'm hooked. After a meal I pop one of these babies in and it feels like I just had dessert! They come in three flavors key lime pie, strawberry shortcake and mint chocolate chip ice cream!

1 point plus veggie chili

This is one of my all time favorite recipes! It is hearty and tasty and LOW in points plus! It is 1 point for a whole cup and will totally carry you til your next meal (or at least till your next 0 point fruit/veggie snack)

1 zuchini

1 red pepper

1 squash

1 onion

saute with a little pam in own juices for 10 minutes

then add

1 can kidney beans

1 cup salsa (I like using peach or pineapple salsa)

1 tsp cumin

garlic salt simmer for 20 minutes. This is even better then next day! I like mine with a corn vitatop (for three points plus, worth it) or my favorite low point lemon corn bread which I will share with you in an upcoming post!

Johnson Juice

My kids love it too!

1 cup fresh pineapple

1 cup greek yogurt ( I like fage)

1 banana

1 cup fresh spinach

a handful of ice

splenda, truvea

a little water

1 tbls grapeseed oil (optional, add points if use)

Place all in blender ( or magic bullet)

Makes 3 smoothies for 1 point plus each! It's great on the new program because you don't have to count points for the fruit. It is soooo filling. It might sound kind of weird but it seriously is tasty and you don't even notice then spinach! Just trust me and try it! Thank you Hilary Johnson for this recipe!
