Mmm...Breakfast

On such a cold morning how can you resist a hot bowl of steel cut oatmeal made with skim milk! Of course you need to jazz this up a bit with a small box of raisins and cinnamon! D E L I C I O U S !!! What did you have?

Nuts About Nuts....

Hey Guys, One snack I always keep in my bag, purse and at my desk are nuts!! I love creating different types of trail mixes, some sweet, some spicy and some salty. Nuts and trail mixes are a great, easy portable snack. They are filling, filled with omega 3 fatty acids and are easy to make! However, nuts and trail mixes can be very easy to go overboard with the points. Remember, they can be high in calories and fat, BUT this can definitely be controlled by filling up portion controlled snack bags for you take along! Here are a few trail mix recipes I've created: Sinfully Sweet Trail Mix 1/4c. Almonds 14 Cashews 1/4c Dried Currants 1/4c Dried Apples 1/4c Dried Bananas Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl and divide this up into four equal portions. Each portion has 3 WWpts. Spice Mix 1/4c. Almonds 49 Shelled Pistachios 1/4c Dried Apricots 1/4c Raisins 1 tsp. of Chili Powder 1/4 tsp. of Salt Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl and divide this up into four equal portions. Each portion has 3 WWpts. Chili Lime Mix 1/4c Almonds 14 Cashews 1/4c Pumpkin seeds 1/4c Sunflower seeds 49 Pistachios 1 tb of Lime Juice 1 tsp. of Chili Powder Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl and divide this up into seven equal portions. Each portion has 3 WWpts.

I hope you guys will try some of these trail mixes :-)
