Lemon Pie- 7 points for 1/8th of a pie

This is adapted from a recipe that was in a Weight Watcher's weekly.  Imagine my joy when I found a recipe for lemon pie that was only 4 points!  However when I made it I found that the filling was only about an inch or so deep and the serving size was 1/10th of a pie.  Seriously, that's not dessert.  That's just a bite.  So here is my adaptation with a thicker filling and easier pre-packaged crust.

1 low fat graham cracker crust (I can only find this at Smiths)
1 can fat free sweetened condensed milk
3 eggs
1 1/2 Tablespoons lemon zest (this takes about 1 lemon and if you are a little short that is OK)
3/4 cup lemon juice (this takes more than one lemon so I use the stuff in the cute little plastic lemon.  Again if you are a little short that is ok.)

Beat the sweetened condensed milk and eggs until creamy.  Add lemon zest and lemon juice.  Pour filling into prepared crust and bake at 350 degrees for 19 minutes until set.  Cool and chill in the fridge.

I add a bunch of light cool whip to the top.  That is one more point, but it's worth it to me.  This pie can be frozen and served later.  I have a frozen one in my freezer right now.

French Toast- 4 points

2 pieces Harper's Bran Bread  (I get this at WalMart.  The bag has green printing on it.  3 points for 2 pieces.)
1/2 cup egg subtitute
cinnamon to taste
vanilla to taste
Cut up fruit for topping.  I like sliced strawberries, bananas, and kiwi.

Combine egg, cinnamon, and vanilla.  Dip bread in and place on hot griddle.  Then pour the remainder on the bread.  Cook like normal french toast and top with LOTS of fruit.  I usually add sugar free syrup, light cool whip, or vanilla yogurt to the top.  Points aren't included for that.

Pumpkin Pancakes- 4 points for 2 LARGE pancakes

Combine in blender and mix on high for 2 minutes.
      1 cup whole wheat berries
      1 cup skim milk
Add:  1/2 cup milk and blend 2 more minutes.
Add:  2 eggs
         1/2 cup canned pumpkin (put the extra in the freezer for another recipe)
         1 tsp salt
         1 tbsp white sugar or honey
         1 tsp cinnamon
Blend well. Just before cooking add 1 T baking powder and mix until just blended.  Cook on the griddle.  Makes 12 large pancakes.  Serves 6.

You can add mini chocolate chips to each pancake after you pour it on the griddle.  Add points accordingly.  I top mine with 1/4 cup sugar free syrup.  Careful if you are not used to eating whole wheat foods to just eat 2 or you will get a stomach ache.  I make these all of the time and when my mom or my nephew Jacob come to my house they always ask me to make these.  They can be frozen and reheated in the toaster or microwave.  I have adapted this recipe to use only food storage items, so it can be made with powdered milk and powdered eggs.  Let me know if you want that info.

Eggs, Veggies, Feta, and Salsa- 3 points

Diced fresh baby Portobello Mushrooms (I get these at Costco)
Diced onions- whatever kind you like.  I use green onions.
1/2 tsp diced garlic
1 cup egg substitute
Spinach coarsely chopped (I get this at Costco and use it in Salads and stuff until it is about to go bad and then I freeze it.)
Fresh Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 oz Fat Free Feta cheese (I can only find this at Smith's.  Also good with 1 oz fat free cream cheese.)
Salsa  (I like a kind called Jacks that is from Costco.)

Spray pan with cooking spray and saute mushrooms, onions, and garlic.  I have used chopped bell peppers before too.  If you like them go for it.  Add egg substitute and then spinach.  Cook until set stirring frequently.  Add basil and then remove to a plate.  Add cheese, salt, pepper, and salsa.

I probably eat this too often, but it is so full of protein and makes me feel so full for so few points that I make it at least 3 times a week.  I usually eat it for lunch.

Desi's Yogurt Chicken- 7 points

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
6 oz container fat free Greek yogurt
1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Olive Oil cooking spray

Combine bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese in a bowl.  In a baking dish, put defrosted chicken in.  Then spoon enough Greek  yogurt over the chicken to cover it.  Then sprinkle bread crumb mixture on top.  Spray with cooking spray.  Bake for 45 minutes at 375 degrees.  Serves 6

This is soooo good with the Fresh Milanese Sauce

Fresh Milanese Sause- 1 point for 6 tablespoons

2 tsp olive oil
2 cups grape tomatoes halved lengthwise
1 large shallot chopped
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup dry red wine

1.  Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high he at until hot; add oil.  Stir in tomato and next 3 ingredients.  Cook 4 minutes or until shallots are tender, stirring often.
2.  While tomato mixture cooks, coarsely chop basil.
3.  Stir wine into tomato mixture.  Cook 30 seconds.  Remove pan from heat and stir in basil.  Yield:  4 servings.

This sauce is awesome on Desi's Yogurt Chicken.  My family LOVES this stuff.  Krista said, "This is my new favorite food."  Brian said, "This is my favorite healthy food."  He wasn't quite ready to put it over chocolate and cheesecake.  I agree.  Nothing beats the flavor of fat and sugar.
