Chicken Enchiladas with Chipotle Sauce, Corn and Pintos & Cheese. 3 Points.

 This was delicious! The only one who didn't like it was my oldest, because for some crazy reason he doesn't like enchiladas. He took a few bites though, and he had lots of the sides and some fruit. 

I used the enchilada sauce recipe from Skinnytaste. I've used Budget Bytes enchilada sauce recipe for YEARS, but it has lots of oil and flour so it's not WW friendly. Honestly I didn't really see any taste difference between these 2 recipes, maaaaaybe the Budget Bytes one had a deeper/richer flavor but the Skinnytaste recipe was just as good. 

Here is the link to Skinnytaste's Enchilada Sauce Recipe

The enchilada recipe is based on Felicia Keathley's Beef Enchilada recipe. I used reduced fat cheese instead of fat free, so the points are higher but the reduced fat cheese melts better. I used Ole Extreme Wellness tortillas also. It works out to 3 points per enchilada. You can top it with greek yogurt, salsa, hot sauce, onions, and jalapenos all for 0 points!

I served it with fat free refried beans topped with fat free cheese for 0 points. And of course, corn is 0 points also.

3 Point Breakfast WW Blue

 





3 point breakfast today!

- 1 Ole Xtreme Wellness Tortilla (1 point) filled with:
     - 1/4 cup Velveeta shreds (2 points)
     - 1/4 cup shredded fat free cheddar cheese (0)
     - 3 oz Tyson Blackened Chicken Tenders (0)
     - 1 tbs fat free Fage (0)
     - Shredded Lettuce (0)
     - Chipotle Hot Sauce (0)

- Canteloupe (0)

-  Honey Lime Black Bean and Corn Salad. Recipe here.

      The recipe doesn't actually contain any honey, and I had forgotten to put the sweetener in but that's ok, it really didn't need it. I also used pinto beans instead of black beans and I added fat free greek yogurt to make the sauce more of a crema. Super good! Zero points.

3 Point Burrito

 





3 Point Burrito on Purple

All points are zero unless noted.

- 1 Joesph's Lavash Bread (2 points for the whole thing)

- 1 slice Velveeta (1 point)

- 1/4 cup fat free cheddar cheese

- Hot sauce, I like to use either Tapatio, Taco Bell Fire, or Franks.

- Nonfat greek yogurt for a sour cream alternative




Filling:

- 1 can fat free refried beans

- 1 can chickpeas

- 1 can diced green chilis

- 1 tbs taco seasoning


Other add ins:

- Any leftover veggies you have on hand (in this burrito I used kale and leftover roasted veggies)

- Tyson frozen chicken

-  Brown rice

- Corn

- Cilantro

- Black or Pinto Beans


Combine the filling ingredients in a large bowl. Assemble and I usually just microwave everything, but if I add the frozen chicken I cook it in the air fryer at 400 for 6 minutes. This burrito is very simple to be made vegan! So I like to make my food crazy easy. I usually have the filling part on hand, and just add in whatever I have or feel like at the time. So easy but still low points! The whole burrito is actually very filling, so a lot of the time I just eat half and save the other half for later.

Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy with Carba-Nada Noodles


Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy with Carba-Nada Noodles
5 Points on Blue



  Full disclosure, this was my husbands plate and it was a huge portion. He also had a salad that would be about 3 points. He doesn't follow Weight Watchers (yet!) but I do make some WW recipes for family dinners.

  This was really good, and this wouldn't be my normal flavor profile I'd like. I'm not normally a fan of "Cream Of" soup flavorings, but this was pretty good. It was also filling. My son loved it and said it's his new favorite dinner. So that's always a win.

Ingredients:

-  1 package Al Dente Carba-Nada Roasted Garlic Fettuccine.
-  2 lbs chicken frozen or fresh. Frozen chicken will make the gravy more watery.
-  1 can 98% fat free Fat Free Cream of Chicken Soup
-  1 cup mixed frozen peas and carrots.
-  2 packets McCormick Chicken Gravy
-  1.5 cups water
- 1/2 tbs garlic powder, onion powder
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- Optional: half a package of mushrooms, chopped.

  I also sprinkle red pepper flakes on mine and my husbands servings, I leave it out of the recipe for the kids.

  Combine soup, gravy mixes, spices, and water into a slow cookre and whisk until fully combined. Add chicken to slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 10 hours, or high on 5-6. I add frozen veggies and (if adding) mushrooms about an hour before it's done.

  Cook the pasta according to package directions, I cook the whole package for 3 minutes.

Add 1.5 cups of noodles to your plate and top with 2/3 cup chicken gravy.

Points:

-  2/3 cups chicken and gravy is 2 points.
-  1 1/2 cups noodles is 3 points

Salad:
3 Points

-  1 cup spring mix. 0 points.
-  2 tbs Texas Toast Seasoned Crutons. 1 point. I like to chop them up so it seems like I get more.
-  2 tbs fat free mozzarella. 0 points.
-  O'Dang Hummus Ranch Dressing. 2 tbs for 1 point.

Here is what my serving looked like:

3 Point Reese's Chocolate Rice Cake


                        3 Point Reese's Chocolate Rice Cake

- 2 tbs Reese's Dairy Whipped Topping. 1 point.
- Quaker Chocolate Crunch Rice Cake. 2 points.

I love this with a cup of coffee for an afternoon pick me up!

Cheesy Taco Turkey Rollup

                                   Cheesy Taco Turkey Rollup
                                                                     3 Points on Blue

I was out shopping and got hungry, and I really just wanted to run through Taco Bell since it was right there. But I was almost done so I drank a bunch of water and made this when I got home. It definitely had that cheesiness that I was wanting.

Ingredients:

-  Ole Mexican Foods Xtreme Wellness! High fiber low carb tortilla wrap. 1 point.
-  1/4 cup taco seasoned ground turkey. 0 points.
-  Salsa. 0 points.
-  Tapatio hot sauce. 0 points.
-  1 slice Velveeta cheese. 1 point.
-  1 tbs jarred queso or stadium cheese. 1 point.
-  A couple slices of lettuce. 0 points.

Wrap everything inside the wrap and enjoy the much healthier alternative to fast food cheesy tacos.

Taco Seasoned Ground Turkey:

- 1 lb 99% fat free ground turkey. 0 points.
- 1 packet of taco seasoning. Or do what I do and just throw random taco seasonings into the ground turkey. i.e cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.

  Cook in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through.



Herb Flatbread Pizza

                                             Herb Flatbread Pizza
                                                                    3 Points on Blue

My kids love pizza. Pizza is my weakness.

One slice of delivery pizza is something like 16 points for a slice. This 3 point flatbread pizza satisfies my pizza craving and it's only 3 points. I make sure to have the ingredients on hand pretty much at all times just in case something comes up and we just order pizza for dinner. This way, I'm covered and I wont touch the delivery if I have this. I'm not going to say it's just AS good as delivery pizza, but it does it's pizza job.

I really recommend getting this Pizza Magic spice mix, it really ups the "oomph" factor and I love it. I bought mine at Meijers.



Ingredients:

-  Flatout Carb Down Italian Herb Flatbread. 1 point.
-  5 pieces of turkey pepperoni. 0 points.
-  Banana peppers. 0 points.
-  Laughing Cow Light Garlic and Herb Spreadable Cheese Wedge. 1 point.
-  1/2 cup Kraft Natural Cheese Fat Free Shredded Mozzarella. 1 point.
-  1/2 cup marinara. I just loosely base mine on The Pound Dropper's Zero Point Marinara.


Directions:

-  Preheat oven or toaster oven to 350.
-  Toast just the flatbread for 2 minutes.
-  Add toppings and toast 4 more minutes.

Felicia Combo

  I have this combo almost daily. It's super fast and filling and delicious. The recipe actually calls for turkey bacon, but I always forget to buy it. So without the bacon it's 3 points on the blue plan.

 Here is the link to Felicia's Youtube video of her recipe. Or you can just type in "Felicia Keathley" on Youtube.


The Felicia Combo
3 points on Blue. 0 Points on Purple
Ingredients:

- 1.5 cups Ore Ida hash browns
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup cottage cheese
- Optional ingredients that I add are pepper, Frank's Hot Sauce, garlic powder, salsa. I also add turmeric for the health benefits, it does turn everything yellow though :)

Directions:

  Heat a non stick skillet over medium high heat and cook frozen hash browns. I just warm them up and don't crisp them really. Then I made 2 over easy eggs, Felicia's video will show you how. You could put everything separate on a plate, but I just like to mix it all together. Yum!
