MOM'S SALAD DRESSING
1/2 c. olive oil
1/2 c. vinegar
1/2 c. water
1/4 c. Splenda
1 t. seasalt
Mix altogether. Can add garlic, oregano, hotsauce, etc. to your taste.

Don't know if this is legal or not...but it sure beats WF dressings.

Note: I usually had used canola oil. I find with the olive oil, I have to remember to take it out earlier to liquify - or zap it in the microwave for 30 seconds.

Hey everyone! I was able to register for idealtogo and found some recipes on there that I will be posting

Cookies-Oatmeal
Here is a good idea to mix things up a bit!

Dry Ingerdients
1 package Ideal oatmeal
1 package Ideal butterscotch or chocolate pudding
1/8 cup rolled oats
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 tsp Splenda (or stevia)
sprinkle cinnamon to taste
1/8 cup slivered almonds
1 tsp baking powder
one egg white
1 tsp vanilla
enough water to get a cookie dough texture

Combine dry ingredients, then add 3 liquid items at the end to get cookie dough texture. Spray lightly olive oil Pam spray and place 10 cookies on sheet. Bake at 325 for 5-10 minutes or desired degree of moisture. Test center of cookie with toothpick to see if baked.

Here is my "modified" version of the WW zero point soup.

3 c. chicken or beef broth (fat free and reduced sodium)
2 garlic cloves
1/2 c. celery
1 T tomato paste
2 c. chopped cabbage
1/2 c. onion
1/2 c. frozen or fresh green beans
1/2 c. chopped zucchini
1/2 t. dried basil
1/2 t. dried oregano
sea salt and pepper to taste

Spray the bottom of a medium sauce pan with olive oil cooking spray. Saute the garlic and celery on medium-low heat until celery starts to soften. Add 1/2 c. of the stock, cabbage and zucchini and saute for a few more minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir around. Add the rest of the stock, green beans, onion, basil, and oregano. Let simmer for 10-15 min. Sea salt and pepper to taste.

This recipe has 4 cups of vegetables added so I just considered it 2 servings.
I also counted it as 1/2 cup of restricted veggies since it has green beans and tomato paste.

Vegetable Stir Fry - Great alternative to plain vegetables
1 Large Onion, cut into chunks
1/2 green pepper, cut into chunks or slices
1 package sliced mushrooms (14 oz)
3 cups chopped broccoli
1-2 bunches baby bok choy, large chop
8-12 oz bean sprouts
2 cloves garlic or 1 tablespoon of garlic from a jar (or to taste)
2 tsp minced ginger. Can use fresh, or the kind in a jar.
1/4 cup soy sauce.
1 tsp chili sauce. Adds heat. Found in the Asian Foods aisle. Should be 0 cal, 0 carbs.

All of the vegetables and their quantities can be adjusted based on your taste and preference in vegetables.

Heat large sautee pan over med-high heat. Add 1-2 tbsp olive oil.
Once heated, add onions, mushrooms and peppers. Cook until these begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir frequently.
Add Bok choy, broccoli, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and chili sauce. Stir to evenly mix. Then cover. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring periodically.
While broccoli is still semi-raw, add bean sprouts.

Cook until broccoli is at desired done-ness, continuing to stir periodically.

Portion into 2 cup quantities for your dinner vegetable, or lunch vegetable.
