Thanks to Gollum at Design by Gollum for hosting another fun Foodie Friday. Please go on over to see some delicious recipes this week.Watching your weight? Well, this recipe not only fits the South Beach diet Phase 1, 2, & 3, but also fits a Weight Watchers diet. It converts to 4 points. I don't know about you, but I can only eat cereal and oatmeal for breakfast for just so long before going bonkers. I am not a breakfast person, but I have learned that eating breakfast jump starts my metabolism for the day. The best part of this recipe is that I love the versatility of this one bowl recipe which can be served at breakfast, lunch or dinner. It reheats in the microwave in a New York minute. I have served this to guests and they all agree the recipe is tasty and filling. They could not believe it is only 170 calories per serving.

Mangia!
I think this is yummy. Sometimes I also use low fat cottage cheese to make cheesecake.
ReplyDeleteI am always looking for a 4 point meal! Thanks for sharing this one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joyce! That looks and sounds so yummy and it looks easy too. I'll have to try it next time I have someone here to help me eat it. I know my husband won't. He doesn't eat much cheese, and never ever cottage cheese. Does it freeze well? Just a thought...maybe I could half the recipe?
ReplyDeleteMmmm... I love this recipe!
ReplyDeleteI bet this makes the house smell wonderful. Thank you for the recipe and wishing you a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteSounds good .. maybe some day when ConEd sends an inspector to approve the work and the gas is back ... maybe to celebrate I will cook ... nah.
ReplyDeleteHi Joyce! Thanks for sharing this recipe, I've been looking around the Foodie Friday posts and I'm now starving. I need to stick to my diet and this looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteJoyce,
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic!! I buy spinach by the poundfuls because I can throw it in anything and get all those good vitamins! But the frozen is perfect too for recipes like this which looks and sound scrumptious!!
I watch my carbs and calories big time, so this is a keeper. Thanks SO much!!
Have a great weekend, my friend! :-)

Great breakfast idea, I bet my Mom would like it. Maybe even Jacob....since it doesn't contain onions. ~ Robyn
ReplyDeleteSounds lovely. I'm doing Slimming World, which at the moment is working for me. I wouldn't want this for breakfast but for lunch with a green salad would be nce.
ReplyDeleteAngie

ReplyDeleteThis sounds really good! I've already copied the recipe and will pick up the ingredients on my next trip to the grocery store. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis looks really good. A good low carb idea. I always need to eat more than one piece. My downfall.

ReplyDeleteThis looks so good. I love all the ingredients
ReplyDeleteand it is very simple
Gosh, the receipe sounds so GOOD! And we were just going to have hotdogs tonight. That kinda blows my laziness outta the water. Now I gotta fix this ... or convince hubby to do so. [giggle]
ReplyDeleteHappy PFF 'neighbor' (we live in Patterson, GA). :o)
Now that looks like a winner! I love quiche, but not the calories. Thank you for the recipe, I will try it soon. And thank you for stopping over at my new blog. Hugs, ~cindy s~
