What I Ate on Weight Watchers - September 22nd

I don't even know where to start about today! It was one of the craziest mornings I woke up to. I was woken up to hearing my neighbor screaming and freaking, then I heard her say "it was a cougar!" So yea that's how my day started. Unfortunately that cougar killed their little dog :( It's pretty scary, we pretty much live in town in a very busy neighborhood, some place you would never expect to see a cougar. They have yet to catch it, but they have hunters with dogs hunting it now...thank god! I want to feel comfortable again letting my dogs out in the morning, and letting my kids play in the yard again! Anyway...I was pretty stressed and didn't have much of an apatite, but this is what I ate today!

Lunch: Smart Ones Chicken Fettuccini (7 PP), salad (0 PP) with Marie's Creamy Ranch (3 PP for 1 tbsp) and a Diet Mtn. Dew (0 PP)

Pizza Rolls

These little pizza rolls are amazing! They are perfect for snacking on, to take in a school lunch, or as an appetizer! I found these little babies over at Emily Bites

Here's what you'll need: egg roll wrappers, pizza sauce, string cheese

Preheat the oven at 425, and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Fill a small bowl with water, and keep near.

Place egg roll wrapper on a flat surface. Spread with a tsp pizza sauce, and add 1/2 a cheese stick.

Fold the bottom wrapper up over the cheese stick, fold in one corner, then then other, and roll up!

Place on baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray! Cook for 1o minutes, turning over half way through, until golden brown.

Pizza Rolls

Makes 8 pizza rolls - 2 Weight Watcher Points Plus per roll

Ingredients:

8 egg roll wrappers

4 light mozzarella string cheese (cut in half)

Preheat oven to 425. Light spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Fill a small bowl with water and keep handy. Place egg roll wrapper on a flat surface, spread a teaspoon pizza sauce in the center of the wrapper, and place 1/2 a cheese stick on top. Fold bottom corner of egg roll wrapper over the cheese, the fold the sides in, and roll up. Dip your fingers in water and wet the edges before rolling to help seal. Place rolls on baking sheet, and lightly spray with cooking spray. Cook for 10 minutes, turning half way through, until wrappers are golden brown.

Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy

This is a quick and easy slow cooker meal!! Perfect for those evenings when you are too busy too cook, or just need something warm and comforting in those colder months! I found this recipe over at Simple Nurished Living

Here's what you'll need: boneless skinless chicken breasts, chicken gravy mix, low-fat cream of chicken soup and water

Place chicken into the slow cooker (I cut the recipe in half, so that's why I only have two, large, chicken breasts in my slow cooker)

In a bowl, mix together the gravy mix, cream of chicken soup and two cups of water. Pour the gravy mixture over the chicken.

Cover and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the chicken is done. My chicken was thawed out, and it was done perfectly in 4 hours time.

Serve over mashed potatoes, rice or toast and enjoy!

California Club Sandwich

This is a great sandwich!! My whole family loved it, and it's filling enough to eat on those nights you don't want to do a lot of cooking. I can't take credit for the recipe though, I found it over at Emily Bites (she has some awesome Weight Watcher friendly recipes!)

Here's what you'll need: center cut bacon, low-fat mayonnaise, fresh basil leaves, lime juice, light wheat bread, deli turkey, avocado, lettuce leaves and tomato.

Cook bacon until crispy, set aside to cool on a paper towel to drain some of the grease.

In a small bowl, combine the mayo, basil and lime juice; stir until well combined & set aside.

Slice the tomato & avocado....

...toast the bread.

On one slice of bread spread 1 tablespoon of the mayo mixture, and top with 2 oz turkey and sliced avocado. On the other slice of bread, top with lettuce, tomato and 2 bacon slices.

Flip the lettuce side over onto the turkey side to form your sandwich. Repeat with the 3 remaining sandwiches. Cut in half and serve. ENJOY
