My Favorite Recipes

This is a spot for an ever-growing list of my favorite recipes, along with little notes for the changes I make to them, and their points values, which includes the changes I made. Points value will vary without changes.

Avgolemono Soup - 3 points. No changes.

Black Bean and Feta Quinoa Salad - 4 points. Added a light dressing of lime juice (2 limes, about 1/8 cup) and equal amount of olive oil whisked with salt and pepper. Heavier than quinoa tabbouleh salad, very satisfying!

Buffalo Chickpea Salad Sandwich - 4 points. I split  the recipe into 8 servings and eat this with a leaf of butter lettuce tucked inside a whole wheat pita pocket, one of the smaller ones.

Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad - 6 points. Very heavily changed. Removed parsley due to bitterness. Lowered mint to maybe 1/8 cup or so of leaves, finely chopped. Added cucumber and two Tablespoons capers. Dressing measured out to 1/8 cup each lemon juice and olive oil with salt and pepper.

Taco Soup - 3 points if split into 8 servings. Made from picture online. One can each pinto beans, black beans, and kidney beans rinsed and drained. One can each corn (drained), beef broth, rotel tomatoes with chilies, rotel tomatoes with lime and cilantro. Two cans petite diced tomatoes. 1 package Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix, 1 package Old El Paso Taco Seasoning Mix, and one pound 93% fat free ground turkey breast. I love to mix in a spoonful of fat free Greek yogurt (Fage 0% is my go-to!)

Zoodles with White Beans and Tomatoes - 11 points. No changes.
