Need Dinner in a Pinch?

Well, go on over here to the Betty Crocker website. Go click on Easy Meal Finder. It is a great tool. It asks you to enter up to three ingredients that you have on hand. You input the ingredients that you have and then it comes back with recipes that you can make and they are EASY! I did this last night and came up with a GREAT tasting dinner. My kids LOVED it. This is what we came up with...

Yep, it looked just like that. :) No, I'm kidding. Here is the recipe if you are interested. I made up my own variation of it and we just loved it. This is what I did and made it to about 4 points for my whole dinner.

I cooked up the chicken like it says, but used a little "healthy" oil instead of butter. Then, I have my own stash of a homemade "cream of" soup that I use when something calls for "cream of" soup or gravy, like this one calls for. It is pretty much "free" in points. Then, I cut up some potatoes, carrots, brocolli, and mushrooms. I really LIKE garlic, so I added in some garlic powder and garlic salt (yep, I LOVE salt too). Anyway, we ate this over one cup of bulgar and there you have it. That was my yummy BIG dinner at about 4 points. I cut the chicken breasts in half as they were quite big. I figured 2 points for the chicken, 1 point for the veggies (because of the potato), and 1 point for the one cup of bulgar. Yum, it was so tasty. Anyway, just thought I would share.

Thanks!
