Fresh strawberries dipped in Astro Source lemon parfait yogurt. It's like eating strawberries with whipped cream. YUM!

I just ate the best thing!
I bought salmon - a one pound bag of 4 individually wrappped pieces
Put them in a pan and cooked them 5 min on each side ( I didn't use Pam ,or oil or anything)
I sprinkled on blackend seasoning while they were cooking
Threw a piece on top of a salad with fat-free balsamic dressing

It was good.-Alyssa

Alyssa,

there are a couple of us here that are salmon lovers! I've two recipes posted here for salmon I think - one in the micro and one grilled. I buy mine at costco. I spend between $16 and $20 for a large filet, then cut it up in serving size filets (I normally get 7-8 servings). I wrap them in platic, then place them all in the freezer. Just take them out and pop them in the fridge in the morning. By dinner you've got a seven minute meal ready to go!!!!!

One of my favorite desserts is Angel Food cake sliced down into serving size pieces. Arrange in a circle around a serving plate. Pour sugar free pudding(I like butterscotch or vanilla) over the cake. Refrigerate for a bit. Put fresh fruit before serving. I usually do whatever fruit is in season. strawberries,blueberries, kiwi,peaches or whatever fresh fruit over the top and serve. Three fruits seems the best mix(strawberries, kiwi and peach or banana are my favorite). It's pretty and delicious.

I have had this recipe for so long that I don't remember the calorie count but it was from a healthy eating class I took.

Fran, that sounds delicious.
I have been serving Angel cake with fruit, but I never thought to use low fat pudding. Yum!

When I'm in a tearing hurry, I have been known to take a slice of Angel cake and put a giant spoonful of low-sugar strawberry jam on top in place of fruit.

I have another angel food cake recipe you all might enjoy. Box of angel food cake in a bowl, add a whole can of crushed pinapple, add a little shredded coconut and a dash of ginger. Yum! It's a WW recipe called Mock Mocaroon.

Saw this in a magazine....
Turkey burgers

Spray the broiler pan w/ cooking spray. Can also use a pan (spray first) and fry.
Preheat the broiler.

1 pound lean ground turkey
1/2 med. red onion, chopped
1 large egg, beaten
2 tbsp, parsley, fresh, chopped
1 med. garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp. dried tarragon
1/2 tsp table salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Lightly combine all the ingredients. Form 4 burgers. Broil 4 inches from heat until brown, about five mins. on each side. Don't over cook. Can also spray a pan and cook this way. Has great flavor!!!

Serve with mustard or horseradish sauce (hot though!). Also tom., onions, lettuce.

Can add a low calorie bun or two slices of low cal. bread.

The flavor is excellent!

Sharon...how many points is the "mock" macaroon????? My turkey burgers are about 4 points each. TY.

[LittleDudesMom]

I have my own version of this recipe (the garlic and the red onion add a "punch" of favor! Thanks for posting it Nomad! I've not tried it with horshradish - I like getting my nasel passages cleared!!

One word of advice on the ground turkey - read your packaging - look for grams of fat per serving. Some brands have a lower fat version available.

I like avacado on my turkey burger too!

Wow, this forum is great LOL! Didn't even know it was here. Ha!

We make applesauce in the crock pot. So easy - my kids do it.

6 apples (your choice) cored and sliced (we slice them with a slicer, so they're a nice size)
1 cup sugar (we use Splenda)
1/2 cup water
Cinnamon (to your liking)

Cook on low 6 hours

I love to do this now, when it's cold. I start it around 1:00, that way after supper, it's still warm. If you're into some type of low calorie, fat free or sugar free ice cream, might be good with a bit on top.

Couldn't tell you point value, not sure. I'm sorry, not doing WW. I just stick to 1250 calories per day. From what I figured, 1 cup is somewhere in the 90-110 calorie range.
