Egg White Breakfast Cups

[½ SP per serving] There are only 46 calories in each cup! These are like mini quiche without any of that awful dairy to mess up the points. They are virtually free in points. Substitute whole eggs for only a few more points; 3 to be exact. Or at 2 of these for only 1 point.

Baked Chicken Parmesan

[4 SP per serving] An Italian classic, lightened up. Baking the cutlet as opposed to frying really lightens this dish up while remaining moist and full of flavor. Serve this over pasta or with a large salad to keep it on the lighter side.

[2 SP per serving] Eggnog evokes fond childhood Christmas memories for me. I love it with or without the alcohol, hot or cold. This low fat eggnog recipe is rich and creamy.

Carrot Cake Bars With Cream Cheese Icing

[4 SP per serving] I love carrot cake and it is deceptively unhealthy though. This recipe makes them a little more healthy and is quite easy to make. This is a moist carrot cake bar, due to the ingredients used to keep it low points you wont end up with a fluffy cake and I know that texture is not for everyone, and the cream cheese frosting was a nice way to finish them off! The recipe makes 9 large bars

[1 SP per serving] This little gem makes healthy oat cookies, healthy enough to be eaten for breakfast.

I have tried this recipe. It takes about 20 min to complete and the cookies are very tasty. If I had any complaints, it would only be that the cookie is a little spongy.

Happy eating!
