Veggie Stew (Variation of Garden Vegetable Bake)
(Not sure how many servings this makes. I think it’s free if you only have one cup, but I
count 1 point for about a cup an a half, just to be sure.)
1 zucchini
1 yellow squash
1 purple onion
4 large mushrooms
4 cloves minced garlic (adjust to your taste)
1 small green pepper
1 small eggplant (optional)
1 28 oz can of diced tomatoes (I've used Laurenti from Giant Eagle and like it a lot)
Fresh basil leaves if you have them
Salt & pepper to taste
Ground red pepper for spiciness (optional)
Slice the zucchini & yellow squash and put them into a crock pot. Set aside.
Slice/chop the onions, green pepper, garlic, basil, eggplant and mushrooms. Fry them
in a medium frying pan until mostly cooked, then add to the crockpot. Dump in entire
can of diced tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt & pepper (and red pepper). Cook until done to
your satisfaction. Top each serving with 1 T of parmesan (add .5 point for this).

Guacamole Pasta
(Serves 1, 6.5 points per serving)
1/4 ripe avocado
3/4 cup cooked angel hair pasta
1/2 cup cooked veggies (I used red peppers/broccoli/onions/carrots)
1/4 cup cooked corn
2 T grated parmesan cheese
salt (or adobo) & pepper to taste
I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray to taste
Mash the avocado in a bowl. Add the other ingredients and stir thoroughly. Everything
can be adjusted to suit your needs/points, so feel free to experiment with less avocado
or more veggies. If the mixture is dry, add some of the water you used to boil the
veggies. No need to add fat!

Veggie Tuna Wrap
(Serves 1, 5 points)
1 large mushroom, sliced
¼ cup diced tomatoes
3 oz. Packet of Starkist Chunk Light Tuna in Water
¼ cup red, yellow & green peppers (I buy the frozen pre-sliced peppers at Trader Joe’s)
1/8 t. garlic powder
½ cup fresh spinach
Salt & pepper to taste
1 oz. Reduced fat feta cheese
1 T. Light Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing
1 La Tortilla Rosemary Wrap
Spread wrap with the salad dressing. Set aside.
Preheat small frying pan then spray with non-stick cooking spray. Fry mushrooms,
tomatoes, and peppers together until slightly browned. Add in entire packet of tuna,
garlic powder, salt & pepper, and spinach. Fry until tuna is warm and spinach is wilted.
Put tuna in the middle of the wrap and top with feta cheese. Wrap up and enjoy!

Nicole's Favorite Meal
This is "my meal"--the one that I have when I'm really hungry or really pressed for
time (that's why I use angel hair--it usually cooks in 2-3 minutes).. I kinda hesitate to
include it here because I know some people will think it's weird. I've shared it with
friends, though, and they really like it. So, I'm including it here for you. I serve it with
garlic bread, which help explains why it's so filling. I usually the spaghetti with 1 T
feta and 1 T parmesan. Make sure you add in the extra points for those if you
choose to do the same.
(Serves 1, 6 points)
2/3 cup Classico Italian Sausage with Green Pepper & Onion Sauce
2/3 cup fat free cottage cheese
3/4 cup cooked angel hair pasta
Heat up spaghetti sauce. Mix all three ingredients in a serving bowl, and you're done!

Italian Grilled Cheese
Makes one sandwich, 3.5 points.
2 slices Wonder Light bread
2 T. Classico Four Cheese spaghetti sauce
4 slices Hormel turkey pepperoni (I tear them in half to give me eight
half slices)
1/3 c. Kraft Fat Free mozzarella cheese
1 T Parmesan
Italian spices
Salt & pepper to taste
I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray
Preheat oven to 375. Spray cookie sheet with nonstick spray, then spray
the outer sides of the bread with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter.
Spread 1 T of the sauce on the bread. Layer cheeses & pepperoni on the
bread, then sprinkle with Italian spices and salt & pepper. Top with the
other 1 T of sauce. Bake for 5 minutes, then flip over and bake for
another 3. Check for oneness & serve.
