Default BLIZZARD

I found this recipe on another site and it is YUMMY!!

Blizzard

.5 oz Fat free, sugar free Jello pudding mix
1 cup skim milk
1 cup ice

In a blender completely blend the pudding mix and milk. Add this ice and blend until crushed thoroughly. Enjoy.

3 points


Use any flavor of pudding you prefer. I used butterscotch because that is all I had and hubby likes it. I am not a fan of it, but it was really good once blended.

If you add anything else, such as fruit or candies, just add the extra points.

Default Chili Cheese and Rice Skillet

Ingredients:
1 can Chili w/beans
1 can chopped tomatoes (do not drain)
8 oz Light Velveeta cubed (half of the small box)
1 cup water
2 cups rice

Combine the chili, tomatoes and water in a skillet, bring to a boil. Add the velveeta and rice, stir to coat rice and cover. Remove from heat, let simmer for 15 minutes. Remove lid, stir until cheese is melty and everything is combined.
1 1/2 cups = 6 points. This is VERY filling and tastes like chili cheese tots from Sonic. Yummy!!

Default Tacos!

I LOVE veggie tacos!!!!!!

If you subtract ground beef for the LightLife brand soy crumbles (0 fat, 0pts for 1/3 cup), you can make AWESOME tacos and you wouldn't even know you weren't eating meat....tastes like Taco Bell!

Pair it off with La Tiara corn shells, 0pts for one,
then it's even better!

I posted this but longer on the WW Food/PT issues forum....

Hummus III
Hummus is a pureed garbanzo bean dip with Middle Eastern
origins. Serve with pita and an assortment of fresh vegetables. This is the secret combination straight from a Boston restaurant. Tahini, or sesame seed paste, can be found in health food stores, gourmet shops and even many grocery stores.
Prep Time: approx. 10 Minutes. Original recipe makes 2 cups ( 16 servings). Recipe has been scaled to make 16 servings.


Printed from Allrecipes, Submitted by Rhoda McIntosh
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 cups canned garbanzo
beans, drained
1/3 cup tahini
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, halved
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pinch paprika
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley


Directions
1 Place the garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, salt and
garlic in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
Transfer mixture to a serving bowl.
2 Drizzle olive oil over the garbanzo bean mixture.
Sprinkle with paprika and parsley

It also said you can heat the beans first (must make it smoother), and add a little water if needed!
