Weight Watchers Monday ~ Oatmeal

 Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

And with a Weight Watchers breakfast it's even better.

2 WW points for this delicious oatmeal.

I used the old fashioned oats, but you can use quick oats if you like.

I like my oatmeal more course. 

With the weather still being cold, cold, cold, this will warm you right up.

It will get you all nice and toasty before you have head out to your car.

This would be perfect with a half of a toasted bagel.

Weight Watchers Oatmeal (2 WW points)

3 TBS oatmeal (of your choice)

1 TBS dried cherries, or cranberries

1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce

1/2 c. water

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Place all ingredients in a microwave safe bowl. Stir, and microwave for 1 1/2 - 2 minutes. I left mine sit for about 5 minutes after it came out of the microwave.

Now onto the party:

A Chicken/Pork Soup

 It's almost Spring, and that means the soup season is coming to an end.

So I thought I would throw one more at you.

I was debating on posting this one. 

This soup is kind of odd with the ingredients I chose to put in it.

But my son was very persistent.

He said the soup was fantastic and that it needs to be shown to the public.

So here I am with a throw together soup that I created.

I have a full plate as of late, and some of you regulars may have noticed.

I am struggling with keeping up my posts, but I promise, no matter how busy

I get, I will keep you supplied with great recipes. 

It looks like I will be making another move (3 hours away from where I currently live), 

and there may be a slight break (down time) concerning the blog. 

I will keep you informed on what is going on.

Until then, let's eat!

A Chicken/Pork Soup

2 c. ham broth (jellied broth from ham roast that I had in the fridge, fat removed)
3 c. chicken broth
1 1/2 c. water
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. garlic and herb seasoning
1 c. carrots sliced
1 (15 oz.) can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 c. dry whole wheat pasta shells
1/2 c. diced ham
2 c. cooked chopped chicken

Combine broths, water, onion powder, and garlic seasoning together in a large Dutch oven. Bring to a simmer and add carrots. Simmer carrots until tender (about 8-10 minutes). Add black beans and pasta. Simmer according to pasta package directions. Add ham and chicken, heat through.
