Zero Sugar Apple Pie WW Cake

 

Zero Sugar Apple Pie WW Cake

Ingredients:

- 3 eggs

- 1 box zero sugar cake mix

- 1 can sugar free pie filling

Mix everything together in a 9x13 pan and bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes. I sprinkled cinnamon all over the top too.

It's really good, not too sweet and would be fun with some whipped cream or cool whip topping. I think it works out to 4 points if you sliced it into 12 bars.

I got the recipe from a random screenshot from a WW Facebook post.

Orange Ginger Chicken, Sriracha Cauli Fried Rice and Wonton Soup 4 Points

 This was a fun dinner! I used Skinnytaste's wonton soup recipe, the wontons were from Costco. Then I marinated 2 chicken breasts that I had cut up in half a bottle of G Hughes Sugar Free Orange Ginger Marinade. For the rice I cooked 1 cup brown rice and 1 pouch of riced cauliflower. I sauteed them together with frozen edamame and fresh shredded carrots....and tossed it with soy sauce, a tsp of sesame oil, garlic and sriracha.

Almost White Chicken Chili and a Quesadilla 4 Points

   So I wanted to make a white chicken chili for dinner, and we had everything BUT the green salsa. So I sort of improvised. I used this recipe by Slender Kitchen, but instead of green salsa I used about 2 cups of green enchilada sauce. I also used about 6 oz of 1/3 fat cream cheese and a can of fire roasted tomatoes. The recipe as written is 0 points, but with my changes it's about 3 points for 1.25 cups. My husband and I also had a quesadilla using Ole Extreme Wellness tortillas (1 point) and 1/4 of fat free cheddar (0 points). It honestly could of used more cheese, but I was dipping the quesadilla in the soup so it didn't matter. Super filling and delicious!

  I of course forgot to take a picture of my plate, this is my sons plate, He had a regular tortilla, regular cheddar and sour cream on top. I topped mine with greek yogurt and Cholula. Oh! We also sprinkled a little shredded cheese on the top.

Quick Breakfast Quesadilla. Purple Plan Update.

 

4 Point Breakfast Quesadilla

- 1 Ole Extreme Wellness High Fiber Tortilla. 1 point.

- 1 slice of Velveeta cheese. 1 point.

- 2 slices turkey bacon. 2 points.

- 1/4 cup fat free cheddar chceese. 0 points.

- 1 egg. 0 points.

- 2 tbs canned diced green chilis. 0 points.

- 1/4 cup pinto beans. 0 points.

- Diced onions. 0 points.

- Hot sauce. 0 points.

All points are based on WW Purple plan.

I like to use as less pans as possible, so I cook everything in one skillet. It takes longer but it's less dishes so it's worth it in my book. Cook up turkey bacon in a nonstick skillet until crispy...well as crispy as turkey bacon gets. Remove from skillet, and then scramble your egg. Add all ingredients to your tortilla and cook using some I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray until lightly browned on each side. 

  So I finally am starting up WW again. Like I said in a previous post, I lost all motivation when quarantine started (and the stores were out of everything), then we bought our first home and went through all the moving shenanigans, then it was summer and the months have FLOWN by. I cannot believe we are almost in September. 

  I think I put back on 9 lbs that I had previously lost. Which sucks, but I know I can lose it again. I'm on day 2 now and it's much easier then it was when I started last December. I know what foods to have on hand, and I know what to make quickly. I'm completely fine with eating the same things over and over again, so I like to make big portions and eat it throughout the week. I don't know why but I really don't enjoy cooking just for myself. I love cooking for my family though....I just feel like "why bother?" when it's just for me. That's what I am working on changing though, I need to "bother" doing things for me. So along with WW I started up the Curly Girl method for my hair again. It's a lot of work so I had stopped caring before, but I realized I need to care for myself too. So here we are.

  I switched to the Purple plan because I like that it allows for a more whole food approach. The one thing I don't like about WW is that it kind of encourages low fat, processed diet foods. I was undecided if I wanted to start back up on WW, or start eating whole food plant based. WW is definitely easier, so I'll do my best to incorporate wfpb foods for health. 

  I'm also still trying to conceive, but I really do feel like it will be soon. :)

Easy 4 Point Lunch with Boxed Soup

                                                  Easy 4 Point Lunch

  I like to have boxed soups on hand because most of them are only 2 points for a cup. That way no matter what I 100% have something to eat that's low points!

Ingredients:

- 1 cup of Pacific Vegetable Lentil & Roasted Red Pepper Soup. 2 points.
- 1 slice of Sarah Lee 45 Calorie Bread. 1 point.
- 1 slice of Velveeta. 1 point.
- Sprinkling of garlic powder.

Heat one cup of soup. Sprinkle garlic powder on toast and top with cheese, then toast until done.

Power Breakfast Fruit Bake

This is such a delicious fast recipe to make ahead or make on a weekend morning. I like to add a drizzle of sugar free maple syrup, while my (not Weight Watchers) husband also likes a small pat of butter on his slice.

It's a pretty filling slice, but you can always have some zero points sides with it.

For example:
- 2 eggs
- Some plain nonfat greek yogurt mixed with some sugar free jello. Fruit is also delicious mixed in.
- Banana egg pancakes

I wasn't able to get a picture before the boys started to gobble it up!
