Cooking is definitely not my thing, so here's one of my super-simple recipes (oh yeah, it doesn't even have a name):

1 cucumber- I prefer it peeled
tomato- I use 1 roma or a handful of grape tomatoes
1 can chunk light tuna in water, drained
italian salad dressing- I use light, generic

Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise, then slice. I like my slices a little on the thin side. Cut tomatoes to your preference (I dice the romas or slice the grapes) and put in a bowl with cucumbers. Add tuna, and usually between 2 and 4 tablespoons of dressing. The amount of dressing depends on the size of the cucumber and your own personal taste. This is where the light dressing comes in handy, it's a LOT less calories than regular! You can also use some cooked, chopped chicken breast in place of the tuna. I think this is a quick, easy, and filling lunch. I generally share with my 1 1/2 year old son, who loves it.

Here is a recipe for my favorite brownies - I like to make a pan and then cut them up and freeze them...then when I really need a chocolate fix or I want a special treat I have one...

Photobucket


Yum Yum Brownie Muffins

(1 Muffin, or 3 minis - 181 calories, 3.5g fat, 37g carbs, 2g, fiber, 2g protein - 4 WW points)

This super-simple 2-ingredient recipe is a Weight Watchers Fave!

1 box devil’s food cake mix
1 can solid pack pumpkin (15 oz.)

Directions:
Mix the two ingredients together. Don't add anything else that may be mentioned on the box, such as eggs, oil, or water. The mixture will be very thick and you will be tempted to add in other things to make the batter smoother. DO NOT DO THIS AS IT WILL RUIN EVERYTHING! Place batter into muffin tins (or mini muffin tins) lined with paper, or sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Makes 12 regular or 36 mini muffins.


These are UNBELIEVABLY yummy - and they have less calories than regular brownies and more fiber... YUMMM-OO

Thumbs up Re: FITNESS SURVIVOR - Recipes

Here is a yummy recipe for a Turkey burger and I posted the stats as well...and WW points...makes it easy as pie to add to our food journals...

Photobucket

Ingredients:
1 small light hamburger bun (with around 80 calories and at least 3g fiber)**
1 plain lean turkey burger patty (like one by Foster Farms, Jennie-O, or
Perdue)
1 slice 2% milk Swiss cheese
1/2 cup sliced baby bella mushrooms
2 small lettuce leaves
2 tomato slices
Optional: pickles, ketchup and mustard

Directions:
Split bun in half, and toast lightly. Place the lettuce and tomato slices on the
bottom half of the bun. If you like, add a few pickle chips, a squirt of
ketchup, and/or some mustard. Set aside. Cook turkey patty in a pan
sprayed with nonstick spray (refer to packaging for specific time and stove
heat). Once cooked, remove patty from the pan, add it to the bottom half of
the bun, and top it with the slice of Swiss while the burger is still hot. Remove
the pan from heat and re-spray it with nonstick spray. Over medium heat,
cook the mushroom slices until tender (about 3 minutes), stirring
occasionally. Place the mushrooms over the cheese-topped patty. Top with
the other half of the bun and enjoy!

**Wonder Light and Nature's Own Double Fiber Wheat buns are great light
buns. But if you can't find a light bun, just use 2 slices of high-fiber light
bread instead!

Spicy Chicken Nuggets

Ingredients:
8 oz. raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast, cut into 10 nugget-shaped
pieces
1/4 cup Fiber One bran cereal (original), ground to a breadcrumb-like
consistency in a blender or food processor
1 oz. (about 14 crisps) Pringles Light Fat Free Potato Crisps, Barbecue (or
another fat-free BBQ-flavored potato chip)
3 tbsp. Frank's RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce
dash onion powder
dash garlic powder
dash cayenne pepper
dash black pepper
dash salt

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Crush potato crisps completely and, in a small
dish, mix with cereal crumbs. Add a dash of each of the seasonings and mix
well. Place chicken pieces in a separate dish, and cover and toss with Frank's
RedHot. Spray a baking pan with nonstick spray. Give each chicken piece a
shake (so it's not dripping with RedHot), and then coat it evenly with the
crumb mixture. Lay the battered nuggets on the baking pan. Place in the
oven, and bake for 10 minutes. Then flip the wings over, and return them to
the oven for 10 more minutes, or until outsides are crispy and chicken is
cooked throughout. MAKES 2 SERVINGS
