Six Point Spaghetti

Hello friends!

Well I didn't get a chance to write yesterday but I got up extra early this morning so I can write before I leave for work. Yesterday was a success, it was just the LONGEST DAY EVER! I hate days like that - when the day just drags on. But I made it through, AND stayed within my points, so in my book that's a good day! I came home from work and made spaghetti with meat sauce and garlic bread for dinner. I've blogged about this spaghetti before, so if you'd like the recipe look at my blogs from last year, I believe it's called "Spaghetti and Garlic Bread, Oh My!" The sauce recipe is there. But basically I made the spaghetti sauce (with 96% lean ground beef, you could also use ground turkey, but I personally prefer cow) and use whole wheat noodles. For 1 cup of noodles and 1 cup of sauce its only 6 points! Now seeing as I eat Weight Watchers SmartOnes for lunch sometimes that are 6 points, this is WAY more food for the points value, and its VERY filling. Check it out below.

1 cup wheat noodles, 1 cup Sommer's WW Friendly Sauce w/ meat, 1 Natures Own White Wheat Hamburger Bun with spray butter, garlic salt and oregano (toasted) = 7 point dinner

This is one of my favorite meals to cook because it is very easy, does not take much time at all, and tastes really good (you would never think its WW friendly). So here's what I had to eat yesterday:

Breakfast:

Thomas Multi-grain Light English Muffin - 1 pt.

Dannon Light & Fit Strawberry Yogurt (4 oz) - 1 pt.

Lunch:

WW Smart One - Lasagna Florentine (pretty good) - 6 pts

Afternoon snack:

Jell-o Sugar Free Pudding (chocolate) - 1 pt.

WW String Cheese - 1 pt.

Dinner:

Spaghetti w/ Garlic Bread - 7 pts.

Dessert:

WW Ice Cream Candy Bar (SO DELICIOUS!) - 3 pts.

That's it for the day! This weekend will be a challenge, but I know I can do it! I'll be back after the weekend to tell you how I did. Wish me luck!

Until next time - happy life, happy eating and thanks for reading!
