Lunches
PITA PIZZAS- I buy whole wheat pitas from Trader Joe's and use them as personal-sized pizza crusts. These are my pizza fix! My husband likes them also.
1 Whole wheat pita
1/8 C. pasta sauce
1/4 C. reduced-fat cheese
0-point veggies (I usually use green peppers and/or tomatoes)
Put sauce, cheese and veggies on top of pita. Put on a cookie sheet in 350 oven for 5 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and cook for another 5 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and/or a little browned, depending on how you like it.
TUNA MELT IDEAS-Here are a few ways to enjoy tuna melts. I had the tuna Babybel melt today for lunch. Very yummy! It has a nice texture.
1. TUNA AND CHEDDAR- Mix tuna with 1 T. mayo (you can use light and lower the cals, but I use regular), salt and pepper. Spread on a slice of light bread, sprinlke on 1/4 C. reduced-fat cheddar and put on top brown in a toaster oven. Serves 2
1 slice bread, 1/2 tuna, 1/4 C. cheese- 240 cals, 5 g fat, 4 g fiber 4 points
2 slices bread, 1/2 tuna, 1/4 C. cheese-480 cals, 5 g fat, 4 g fiber 5 points (toast other slice and make a sandwich)
2. TUNA AND BABYBEL- Mix tuna with 1/2 T. mayo, 1 wedge of light Laughing Cow, and 1 round light Babybel cheese in a food processor (I have an Ultimate chopper- it's like the Magic Bullet). Spread mix onto a slice of light bread and put on top brown in a toaster oven. Serves 2
1 slice bread, 1/2 tuna mix- 180 cals, 5 g fat, 4 g fiber 3 points
2 slices bread, 1/2 tuna mix-220 cals, 5 g fat, 7 g fiber 4 points (toast other slice and make a sandwich)
You could probably use any combo of cheeses. The light Laughing Cow wedges are 35 cals and the light Babybel rounds are 50 cals. I used one of each. You can also use the mix as a dip with Triscuits or other crackers. The mix is 3 points for 1/2 of it. Reduced-fat Triscuits are 2 points per serving.
3. MEATLOAF SANDWICHES- I make these when I have leftover mini meatloaves. My husband was raving about these this weekend. It was rainy and meatloaf sandwiches make a nice comfort food.
Slice one 2-point mini meatloaf. If it has been refrigerated, you can nuke it for 30 seconds. Toast 2 slices of light bread (1 point for 2 slices). Spread on 1/2 T. mayo or light mayo (you can use more mayo with light or save points). Spread on 1 T. ketchup, add the meatloaf slices, and enjoy!
230 cals, 10 g fat, 7 g fiber 5 points If you use light mayo, it's only 4 points
