Mini breakfast quiches

Mini breakfast quiches simply filling + 2pp for 30g light cheese

1/2c  egg substitute or 2 eggs for 4 egg whites :) whisked
veggies of your choice (I like to use broccoli, green onion, peppers)
you can also add protein of your choice (lean ham, turkey bacon 1pp, homemade sausage SF or 2pp)
30g/1oz cheese I use light cheese grated or cubed

Spray 3 or 4 muffin cups with non stick.
Divide veggies into the cups.
Crumble the meat on top.
Divide the cheese between the cups.
Pour the egg mixture on top until nearly full.
Pop into a 350 oven (I used my toaster oven) for 20 minutes or until puffed up and starting to brown.
ENJOY!

Depending on how many veggies you add this makes 3 or 4 muffin cups and yes I count that as 1 serving :)

Sausage simply filling

Breakfast sausage 100% simply filling or 2 pp original recipe found here

• 1 pound lean ground turkey I've also used chicken which was just as good
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried sage
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Kosher or sea salt to taste

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Make sausage patties to desired size and thickness. I usually get about 8 patties. Uncooked patties can be frozen up to one month.

Add patties to a large skillet and cook on medium-high heat until brown on both sides and cooked through.

Individual apple pies

A fellow Weight Watcher friend passed along this recipe :)

Individual apple pies (I made 1/2 the recipe) points are determined by the points of your egg roll wrappers. Mine are 2pp but some people have found 1pp ones.
6 apples cored and chopped small
2 tbsp brown sugar
1/3c water
1 tbsp cinnamon
10 egg roll wrappers

Cook the first 4 ingredients until thr apples are soft not mushy.

Wet the edges of the egg roll wrappers with a little water to help them seal.

Put approximately 2 Tbsp of the mix in the middles of the wrappers and roll up like an egg roll folding the sides in.

Place on a baking sheet or parchment paper that has been sprayed with non stick or misted with oil.

Bake at 350

Now the original recipe says 8 mins then turn for 8 more mins but with my wrappers it took a total of about 25 mins. Cook until browned.

The hubs and I loved them :)

Thanks Lori!!

Blueberry smoothie

Made a berry smoothie this morning that was so good!

1c skim milk
1c frozen mixed berries
1 banana frozen in chunks
1 package Weight Watchers French Vanilla smoothie mix

I put all in my nutribullet and it came out so nice and thick i could eat it with a spoon :)
100% simply filling or 4pp

Banana stuffed French toast

Banana stuffed French toast Simply filling plus 2pp for the cream cheese or if you're doing regular points plus it would be 5pp

2 slices light bread
2 tbsp of light cream cheese 2pp
1 packet of stevia/sweetener
banana sliced
2 egg whites
splash of skim milk
cinnamon

Mix the light cream cheese, a pinch of stevia/sweetener and some cinnamon
Spread mixture on 2 slices light bread
Place some banana slices on one of the slices on top of the cream cheese the rest of the banana can be put on the side
Put the 2 slices of bread together with the cream cheese on the inside

In a square container mix the egg whites, splash of milk, little stevia/sweetener and a 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Whisk together.

Dip the sandwich first one side then carefully turn over and the other side.

Cook in non stick sprayed pan. If doing Simply Filling you could use one of the oils. Today I've planned for my oils later.

Cook one side till brown then carefully flip and brown the other side.

I served this with 1 tsp maple syrup (0pp)

If you want to step this up a notch you could put a few chocolate chips on the inside which would be amazing. I don't trust myself around chocolate chips though and this is awesome even without them :)

Update: made this today with Ezekiel bread which I count as Simply Filling, 2 tbsp organic light cream cheese which was 1pp, sprinkled 1 tsp pure maple flakes (0pp) on the cream cheese and topped with 1 tsp pure maple syrup (0pp)

Pumpkin pie breakfast parfait

Pumpkin pie breakfast parfait 100% Simply Filling or 4pp

1/3c oats
1/3c water
1/2 banana mashed
1/4c pure pumpkin
1/4c light vanilla yogurt or you could use Greek yogurt
1 tsp maple syrup (0pp) or sweetener of your choice
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
I used a spoonful of sugar free home made cranberry sauce on top I just used splenda instead of sugar too make it.

put the oats and the water in the microwave until softened approximately 1-11/2 minutes. Stir in mashed banana. Add a tsp of maple syrup or sweetener depending upon your taste.

In a separate small bowl mix the pumpkin, yogurt and pumpkin pie spice. Add a tsp of maple syrup or sweetener to taste.

Layer the oatmeal mixture and the pumpkin mixture.

Sprinkle a little extra pumpkin pie spice on top.

Optional add a little cranberry sauce :)

Slow cooker meatballs and marinara

Update I put this in the ww recipe builder just the sauce and the meatballs made with extra lean ground chicken, 1/4c egg substitute and no skim milk as I didn't need it. With 2 meatballs/serving and it came out to 3sp/serving. The pasta is extra.

Using light bread for the bread crumbs and the light parmesan cheese divided by the servings comes to 0sp. So it would be SF + 0sp when using whole wheat pasta

I saw the original recipe for this here: http://www.emilybites.com/2013/08/slow-cooker-meatballs-marinara.html

I only needed to tweak it just a little to be simply filling :)

I replaced the bread crumbs the first time with light bread crumbs and this time with ground oats. I also used light parmesan cheese and no extra oil. Both ways came out great. This recipe makes big meatballs!! Ralph and I both love this. It also freezes well for a quick dinner.
