Too-EZ Mac 'n Cheese

My friend saw this recipe on Hungry Girl's cooking show, and we decided to try it out the other day. Broccoli + pasta + cheese = OMG GOOD!!! We halved the recipe, except for the Laughing Cow, and added some parm topping at the end. So yummy. Its really filling too.

Filet Mignon with Garlic Cream Sauce

Getting fancy over here today! This was made by my mom (I helped making the sauce), since I am incapable of cooking meat. She used a recipe from the Weight Watcher's 5 Ingredient Cookbook.

The serving is actually quite large (for 6 points), I was just using a giant plate. This was sooo good. I don't eat red meat very often, so this was a treat. The cream sauce was soo garlic-y and yummy. Asparagus was the perfect side, too.

Peachy Maple-Caramel Crunch Parfait

I made this parfait for breakfast today. Its from Hungry Girl's 200 Under 200 cookbook.
This could, quite possibly, be the ugliest thing I've ever made. After adding the syrup, the yogurt was too thin to make nice defined layers. But this tastes amazing. And its really filling. I could only finish half of it.

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

I've been on an oatmeal kick lately, I just can't get enough! I was getting tired of the maple brown sugar oatmeal, so I created my own apple cinnamon oatmeal this morning. It makes a huge bowl of oatmeal, which is 5 points, and completely filling.


Again, why does oatmeal have to be so ugly and unphotogenic? Anyway, here's the recipe



  • 1/2 cup oats

  • 1 cup water

  • dash salt

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • 1 small apple, cut into bite-sized chunks

  • 2 tsp splenda brown sugar

  • Optional: additional equal packets

Mix together oats, salt, cinnamon, and water in a medium bowl. Microwave for 1 1/2 minutes. Mix. Return to the microwave for 1 minute. Stir in brown sugar and apples. Add additional equal if needed.
