Smothered Steak Burgers for 9 Weight Watchers Points

Yum, yum, yum!  The thick slice of tomato might be a turn off to some, but I tried it as recommended in the recipe--thick.  It was good!  This comes together nicely for a satisfying 9-point burger fix.

Again, I got this recipe out of this book:

So, yet again, I will link you to the online recipe here to save myself blogging time.  The book indicates this burger clocks in at 398 calories.  If you add in a serving size of baked oven fries, such as Alexia, you can add another 90 calories for a grand total of 488 calories!  Nutritional Information for the burger is noted below:

Taco Rice Salad Recipe for 7 Weight Watchers Points

This was a hit.  Mr. F is in love with this dish and I am completely stuffed.  The recipe called for yellow rice, but we used Tony Chachere's Creole yellow rice dinner mix, as that is all my husband could find.  We are now splitting up the shopping list, which I discuss here (feel free to read if you need a hubby's support).  This is a full-size dinner plate full of yummy.  You can make it as spicy as you like with your choice of picante sauce, but the Creole yellow rice has a little zing to it itself, so keep that in mind.

This recipe has come from the Mix & Match Low-Calorie cookbook that I found at 5 and Below as well, so I'm really liking all of the recipes I've tried so far from it.  It offers breakfast, lunch, dinner, and 2 snack recipes to total under 1,500 calories each day.  It's also online, so to save time I'm sharing a link to the recipe and instructions here.
