great in a baked potato

quick and easy work meal

This recipe is my makeover of a salad served at Pickles Cafe in Dunfee, Indiana during Cowboy Days in July 2011.
One half cup serving = 2 WW points

make it to go by making several individual servings and placing them in a snack size ziplock baggie.
add more or less milk, splenda, brown sugar splenda, raisins, dried fruit. etc. (calories not included)

olive oil provides richer flavor, to save calories, omit & use I can't brlive it's not butter lite or fat free
(optional - for added flavor, add 1 tsp. grated lemon or lime peel)

can add a pinch of salt & splenda if you like more flavor

I don't buy buttermilk anymore
this is a great substitute when it's not available

I use powered milk because I always have it on hand,
but you can use any milk you have on hand

tip: add 1/2 cup black beans and 1/2 lb cooked ground turkey (taco seasoned) for a main course

quick fix for left over rice

cottage cheese;; yum

Low carb omelette w/ cheese, onions and tomatoes

This is a baked macaroni and cheese dish made without butter and with less cheddar cheese. Its really tasty but a little better for you.
