Spaghetti and Garlic Bread, Oh My!

Hello all my faithful follower friends (ha ha I don't think I have any)...

So I'm doing well so far this week. Still working on that dreadful project at work but trying not to spend every ounce of my time on it so I'm not as miserable. :) So I've been eating a lot of baked chicken and veggies lately, which I do love and can eat a ton of, but last night I wanted to mix it up so I made some spaghetti and Weight Watchers friendly garlic bread. YUMM-O! It hit the spot. Here's my secret receipe:

Spaghetti Sauce:
1 lb 93% lean ground beef
1 jar Prego Heart Smart Original Pasta Sauce
2 cans DelMonte diced tomatoes (Basic, Garlic and Oregano)
1 can tomato paste (any brand, small can)
1 chopped onion (optional)
Dash of Italian Seasoning (I like to put it in when I'm browning the meat)

Noodles:
100% Whole Wheat Spaghetti noodles

Sauce: 1/2 cup = 2 pts
Noddles: 1 cup = 3 points
Total = 5 points

Note that this serving is a LOT of spaghetti and is just the right amount to really fill you up! I used to think I needed an entire cup of sauce, but only a half cup is plenty for a cup of noodles. But if you spring for the entire cup, it's 4 pts.

Garlic Bread:
1 Natures Own White Wheat Hamburger Bun
10 Sprays I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray
Pinch of garlic salt
Pinch of oregano (for color)
Spray both sides of the bun with the spray butter, add salt, oregano, broil in oven for a few minutes until desired "brownness." Enjoy!

1 whole bun = 1 pt!! It is really tasty too, tastes just like regular garlic bread!!

So I had a very tasty dinner for 6 points total! Not bad at all. I had a Weight Watchers Drumstick for 2 points for dessert. Very good!

Well tonight I'm headed to "Game Night." A group of friends and I rotate hosting game night once a month, this week it's at Arena's. Later this weekend I'll tell you how I did "food wise" at game night! I have a plan, so wish me luck!!

Today I've added a picture of me, my mom and step dad Charlie.

Goodbye for now friends!
