Lemony Roasted Cabbage



So I was looking for something yummy to serve with my corned beef last Sunday, and I came across this recipe on Pinterest, from the blog attached above.  I was nervous because I had never really cooked cabbage before and not many people like it.  Needless to say...this was a  HUGE hit in our house! (So were my Rubens by the way!)  And it was SO EASY!!!

Take a head of cabbage and cut it into 8 wedges.  Lay them down on a greased roasting pan.
Mix together 2 TB of olive oil and and between 2-4 TB of freshly squeezed lemon juice.  I had a big head of cabbage and I used about 4 TBS of lemon juice and it was the perfect amount to cover my wedges, and it was the perfect level of lemoniness (?)....

Once you've mixed the oil and juice, use a pastry brush and baste the ouside of the cabbage with the mixture.  Then salt and pepper them as well.  Carefully turn them over and brush, salt, and pepper them again. 

Roast them at 450 for about 15 minutes on one side, then flip and do the same for the other.

SO YUMMY!! ( And for those who care it's only 1 WW Point per wedge!)

Breakfast Cookies

I skip out on breakfast way too much, and with the winter coming and the flu bug going around the school I NEED to start eating breakfast.
My good friend gave me this recipe the other day. I tried it this morning and they are very easy and delicious! Plus...for the weight conscious each cookie is only 3points plus on the weight watchers scale.

1/4 tsp cinnamon
1tbsp splenda
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce ( I didn't have unsweetened applesauce so I used one of the lunch pack cinnamon applesauces. In turn I didn't use the cinnamon or the splenda)
1tbsp flour
1/3 cup dry nonfat milk
1 package instant oatmeal

Mix all ingredients and shape into two cookies on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for ten minutes.
You can do any flavor instant oatmeal. I've tried maple brown sugar pecan and I'm excited to try others. I liked it warm, Jessie preferred it cool.
