French Toast

lite bread
eggs (can do 1 whole egg and 2 egg whites if desired...but whole eggs are considered simply filling)
skim milk (same as Fat Free)
Cinnamon
Vanilla

Beat a few eggs, add a splash of milk and a splash of vanilla (amounts are really not important).  I guess I would say 3 eggs, 1/4 C. milk and 1 T. vanilla if I were to guess.  Sprinkle top of eggs with cinnamon.  Dip both sides of bread in eggs.  Cook on skillet or frying pan until browned on both sides.

Top with any of the following (they are all simply filling)...spreadable fruit (like jam...but no sugar added and it is simply filling), fruit, applesauce (no sugar added), Fat Free Cool whip, FF yogurt no sugar added.

You can also make some scrambled eggs to go on the side with ketchup or salsa if desired.

All ingredients listed above are simply filling.

Easy Baked Potatoes

These baked potatoes were awesome because they were quick, easy, perfectly cooked and didn't heat up the house.

Just wash your potatoes.  Put in a crock pot.  Cook on high for 3 hours.  (You don't need to add water and you don't wrap in foil).  Test with a fork for doneness.

I thought it would be possible...so I Googled it and this is the website I got the instructions from...  http://momonamission.me/?p=4171

I don't think I will ever do potatoes any other way!


The potato is simply filling.   Top any of the following toppings (all simply filling) with spray butter, FF margarine, FF sour cream, FF yogurt, ranch dressing (made with FF mayo and FF milk), lean cubed ham, cooked cubed chicken, 93% or greater hamburger, sauteed onions, broccoli, FF cheese, homemade chili made with simply filling ingredients.  


As you can see this makes a great meal without having to use any weekly points.

Simply Filling

I have been following Weight Watchers Simply Filling program for a few weeks now.  I love it.  I did Core a few years ago and it is very similar.  Basically you can have any fruits or vegetables, lean proteins, light bread, whole wheat pasta, Fat free dairy, 0 point foods without counting points plus.  You are only supposed to eat until satisfied, not full.  You also still get your 49 weekly points and can earn additional points for exercise.
