This was so good and perfect for the first week of fall. I really like the nutty flavor to Barilla’s whole grain pasta. The original inspiration recipe behind this is probably much better but I was really happy with my results! My co-worker kept telling me each day how tasty my lunch looked.
This was very easy to make and it makes a lot! You could easily get 8 servings out of this recipe. I calculated the PPV based on 6 servings to be safe.

This recipe is another favorite in my house when I get home from work and want something creative and tasty to eat. I vary the veggies and proteins based on what I have available.
It is a bit of a splurge on the PPV at 11. Usually means my snacks need to be more conservative throughout the day. Remember most fruits and veggies are point free 🙂

I decided to give instant oats a try. I see them on everyone’s food blog so why not. After researching many recipes it came down to preference.
Do you like your oatmeal thick or do you add milk to thin it out a bit? I prefer thick oats so I opted to use greek yogurt for mine. I did learn an important tip that while the oat to liquid ratio should be 1:1. It is actually better to add just a little more liquid.
After a quick trip to the craft store to get a couple of mason jars I was ready to give this a try.

Any kind of pizza is good in my book. When I started Weight Watchers it was the hardest food for me to limit myself on. Now days I manage portion control better so one slice does not seem like such a sacrifice.
I started looking for pizza recipes that were lower in PPVs. Here is my adaption of Eva Longoria’s shrimp flatbread recipe posted on Hungry Girl. You should really checkout the great recipes on Hungry Girl. Good stuff!

I LOVE crab and I like to make crab cakes on Sundays so that I have a quick, yummy dinner when I get home from the office during the weekday. The key to crab cakes is certainly the “STAR” ingredient. I live in Vegas (we are not near an Ocean) and I am on a single-girl budget. Fresh crab meat is neither in my budget nor on my grocery list. I purchase jarred crab claw meat as opposed to canned. I find it in my meat department at the local grocery. Enjoy!
