NFL lunch
What to have for lunch when there's a big football game on? Pizza?? Buffalo Wyngs?? nope.. It's Tamales!
We got these Pork Tamales from Costco that we really like. They are 10 points plus each.. so in order to eat them I heated it up and cut it in half (having a big salad with it helped to fill me up):
The salad ends up being like 4 points plus because I cut up a couple slices of Jarlsburg Lite Swiss Cheese onto it and added a little fat-free dressing from Fresh & Easy. The salsa on the tamale was 0 points.

Veggie Meatballs!
Today we finished off our "Don Lee Farms" Veggie Meatballs. We bought them at Costco in a 2 lb package.
One serving is 4 balls for 3 points plus. We had put them in the freezer because it's a lot of perishable food for two people to eat. They aren't too bad. I keep thinking they would be good in a spaghetti dish but we never got around to trying that. Instead I nuked the last of them to share and for my part, I sliced up another Roma tomato and added some 'no salt' seasoning.
The veggie balls themselves have sweet corn, carrots, onions, low moisture part skim mozzarella cheese, and some other stuff that makes them bind like breadcrumbs. I think we like them enough, we'd get them again. Next time we'll do the spaghetti. =)

Veggie!
Today's lunch was an old favorite from Costco.. The Garden Lites Grilled Zuccini Soufflé. Garden Lites come on different soufflé varieties, but this is the one Costco carries at times.
Each soufflé is 4 points plus, so it's great for breakfast or lunch, whatever.. Today I diced up a medium Roma tomato while I heated it in the microwave. I placed the heated soufflé on top of that (after removing it from its little container) & then topped it off w/ a spoonful of salsa.
The box says it counts as 2 1/2 servings of veggies but I seriously doubt that! I did give myself credit for 1 serving though, which seems more realistic. =)
For dessert I had a Chobani Greek Yogurt w/ strawberry. Usually we like to keep a big container or 2 of Fage on hand (love it w/ a some preserves or honey added) but the Chobani was on sale this month..

Meatless Monday!
Since it's Meatless Monday I'm having an Amy's Vegetable Lasagne for lunch. It's 8 points plus and pretty filling!
I nuke it for 5 minutes & place it on a plate/ in a big soup bowl sauce side down so I'm not eating from a tiny paper thing. It's about #asthetics you know?
I also add a spoonful of diced garlic because there's no such thing as too much garlic! =)
