Chocolate, peanut butter and banana baked oatmeal

Chocolate, peanut butter and banana baked oatmeal 6pp or simply filling +1pp

1/3c quick or minute oats uncooked
1/4c egg sub, 2 egg whites or 1 egg
1/4c skim milk
1/2 tsp baking powder
sweetener to taste
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp pb2
1 banana mashed most of it but keep a couple of slices to put on top
1 tsp sugar to sprinkle on top makes it nice and crunchy

Mix everything together except the flew slices of banana and the sugar. Put into a non stick sprayed ramekin dish then top with the banana slices and the sugar.

I put mine in my toaster oven at 375 for 20 -25 minutes or until puffed up and firm to the touch. You could always cook it in the oven the night before when cooking dinner and warm it up in the microwave the next morning.

Strawberries and cream stuffed French toast

Strawberries and cream stuffed French toast 4pp or simply filling

2 slices of light bread
1/3c egg substitute
1 tbsp skim milk
I used 1/3c frozen strawberries that I thawed overnight in the fridge
2 Tbsp cream cheese I use 95% fat free
sweetener to taste
cinnamon I use Saigon cinnamon as it has a fantastic taste

In a small bowl mix the cream cheese with sweetener I used 1/2 packet.
Spread it evenly between the 2 slices of bread.
Make a layer of strawberries on top of the cream cheese on 1 slice of bread. Put the other slice of bread cream cheese down on top of the strawberries.

Now mix the egg, cinnamon and some sweetener in a container or bowl where the bread can lay flat.

Put the bread with the cream cheese and strawberries in to soak up some of the egg then carefully turn over and let the other side soak some up. This only takes a minute.

Spray your pan with non stick and when heated carefully lay the bread in it. Wait for that side to get nice and brown then carefully flip over and brown the other side.

Serve with a Tbsp of sf pancake syrup 0pp or real syrup 1pp

Cheesy broccoli potatoes

Thanks again to Thea-Lee Stottele for the inspiration :)

I have been doing points plus for the last week or two and I'm not sure how much longer but for right now I will be posting a few recipes with points plus that are not simply filling.

Cheesy broccoli potatoes 6 big servings 6pp/serving

1 pkg shredded raw potatoes
1/3c + 1 tbsp I used becel calorie reduced pro active margarine
1 can reduced fat cream of broccoli soup
1 onion chopped
1/2c fat free or light sour cream
1 1/2c shredded light cheddar cheese
I pkg of broccoli I just bought a bag of fresh cut broccoli

Mix the soup, the margarine and the sour cream together. Add the potatoes, 1 cup of the cheese, the onion and the broccoli and mix together.

Spray a 9x11 pan with non stick spray. Pour the mixture in and spread out. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2c of light cheese on top. Put into a 375 oven for 45 minutes then pop under the broiler for a couple of minutes if  you want to brown it up.

Chicken orzo soup

I was given permission by Thea-Lee Stottle

Chicken orzo soup makes 8x1 cup servings

Simply filling if you use chicken breast an whole wheat orzo or 3pp for 1 cup

2 cups of cooked chicken or turkey

2 x 32oz containers of fat free low sodium chicken broth or a chicken carcass boiled for the broth

4oz or 1/2 cup of uncooked orzo pasta

1 12oz bag of frozen mixed vegetables

1/4c flour to thicken

1 chopped onion

1 celery stalk chopped

1 tbsp poultry seasoning

1 tbsp dried rosemary

Check the flavor and add chicken bouillion if needed. I didn't need it

Now you can make this in a pan or do what I did and throw everything in the crockpot except the orzo put that in 30 minutes before you want it ready :)

Cook on low for 6-8 hours
Doesn't show in the picture but it's got loads of veggies/chicken and pasta!
