Quaker Instant Oatmeal-Lower Sugar, Maple & Brown Sugar


What a quick, easy and wholesome food item.  We are in the process of moving and I was cleaning out my pantry last night throwing out a lot of expired stuff and finding a lot of foods I had forgotten about!!  (and our pantry isn't that big...I was amazed).  I used to eat this all the time while on WW!  It has 120 calories, 2g fat and 3g fiber!  I add like a tablespoon of skim milk to make it creamier as well.  It is lower in sugar by using splenda and has only 4g of sugar compared to the 13g of sugar found in the regular Maple & Brown Sugar flavor.  A great, sweet! way to get your whole grains in!

I love weenies!!

Well really, I love pigs in a blanket and I was very excited to receive this Hungry Girl email this morning. Scroll down for HG's De-Pudged Pigs in a Blanket.

Here is the easy and delicious recipe:
Photobucket
Ingredients:
1 fat-free (or nearly fat-free) hot dog (like the ones by Oscar Mayer, Hebrew National and Ball Park)
1 portion Pillsbury Reduced Fat Crescent roll dough

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut hot dog into 4 even pieces. Stretch or roll out the triangle-shaped dough slightly, to make it a larger triangle. Cut dough into 4 long, narrow triangles. Beginning at the base of each triangle, roll a piece of the hot dog up in the dough until the point of each triangle wraps around the center. Place dogs on an ungreased baking pan and cook for about 12 minutes (until dough appears slightly browned and crispy). Enjoy!

My only complaint is the picture shows TWO portions of this recipe. =/ Which I'd totally eat...but 270 calories isn't bad for a main lunch item. I would suggest the Hebrew National 97% fat free hot dogs...yum!

These are great!!  I got the whole grain three cheese & broccoli and it only has 250 calories and is quite filling.  Best part is, they are done in the microwave in 2:15!! ;)
