Turkey Taco Bowl

 2 16 oz packs of 99% fat free ground turkey breast 

1 packet of taco seasoning McCormack 30% less sodium

3/4 cup water

1 15 oz can corn

1 15 oz can black beans rinsed

1 15 oz can diced tomatoes

1/2 green bell pepper

1/2 red bell pepper

Cook turkey until done. Add taco mix and water, mix well. Simmer.

Then add bell peppers, simmer on low for 5 minutes.

Add remaining ingredients, simmer until hot and all mixed well.

I divided this into 7 portions. It was 1 1/3 cup each serving. This is the coming week's meal prep lunch.

This is 1 WW point as it is. You can add either fat free cottage cheese, one 2 tablespoons of lite sour cream if you like which will add more points. Enjoy warmed and placed over chopped lettuce.


All ingredients were 0 points but the black beans. They were 2 points a serving and there were 3.5 servings a can, so I rounded it off to 1 point a serving since there were 7 portions.

** crush 1/2 a bag of quest taco chips on top, it will add 1 point***

Welsh Rarebit


 I am really dating myself here. When we were in Highschool we had a class called Home Economics. This picture looks just like our classroom .This is where we were taught to cook, set a table, sew, and manage a home. I remember Mrs. Karpook as my teacher. I learned so much from her class. Here is one of the recipes she demonstrated and then we had to make it ourselves. I remember thinking it was such a yummy dish as I had never had this at home.

2 Cups of shredded sharp process American cheese

3/4 cup of milk

1 teaspoon dry mustard

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Dash cayenne pepper

1 well-beaten egg

In a heavy saucepan, heat cheese and milk over a very low heat, stirring constantly until the cheese melts and sauce is smooth. Add next 3 ingredients. Stir in small amount of hot mixture into egg; ( tempering the egg) return to hot mixture. Cook and stir over low heat until mixture has thickened and is creamy.

Serve at once over hot toast points with broiled tomato slices.    

Waffles

 2 Cups of Bisquick Baking mix ( or Carbquick if on low carb diet)

2 tablespoons cooking oil of choice

1 egg

1 1/2 cups of milk

Beat ingredients with whisk or hand beater until smooth.

Pour into center of hot waffle iron sprayed with non stick spray. Bake until steaming stops, remove carefully. This makes three 9inch waffles.


I have always used Bisquick for waffles and pancakes and they are the best! When my son had sleepovers I always made them a big breakfast and these were always a big hit!
