Shepherd's Pie

4 Points Per Serving


2 tablespoons vegetable oil

3/4 cup onions -- chopped

3 cloves garlic -- well chopped

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 1/3 cups vegetarian bouillon

1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

salt and pepper to taste

2 cups lentils -- cooked

1 package frozen mixed vegetables or fresh if you have the time

3 medium potatoes

1/4 cup skim milk

1 tablespoon butter


Directions
To make the potatoes, cube about 3 medium potatoes and place in a steamer. Steam until the potatoes are soft enough to allow a fork to push through. Remove from the steamer and place in a saucepan. Add 1/4 cup warm milk and 1 tablespoon butter. Mash. Put over a very low heat to keep warm. In a saucepan, heat the oil. Fry the onions and garlic until softened. Stir in the flour until it is absorbed. Add the broth and the spices and cook, stirring, until the mixture begins to boil. Stir in the lentils and the vegetables. Lower heat and allow to cook for about 10 more minutes. In a 9-by-5 nonstick bread loaf pan, place the broth mixture. On top of this, spoon the potatoes until the top is covered. Bake until the top is brown--about 40 minutes.

Mixing the ricotta with nonfat cottage cheese gives the filling more body and flavor while reducing the fat content.


Ingredients
1 cup(s) part-skim ricotta cheese
1 cup(s) fat-free cottage cheese
1 tsp table salt
1 tsp garlic powder, or to taste
1 Tbsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp black pepper
3 cup(s) canned tomato sauce
1 pound(s) cooked pasta, jumbo shells, approximately 24 shells
Instructions

* Preheat oven to 375°F.

* Mix together cheeses, salt, garlic powder, oregano and pepper.

* Spread a few spoonfuls of tomato sauce on bottom of a 9- x 13-inch baking dish.

* When cooked shells are cool enough to handle, fill each shell with cheese mixture and place in baking dish. When all shells are in dish, spoon remaining tomato sauce over shells. Cover pan and bake for 20 minutes. Yields about 4 shells per serving.

one thing to watch though is I think the US/Canada and UK points systems are different

Butternut squash & red pepper soup!
Points= 0!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 small butternut squash
1 red pepper
1 onion
2 pints of hot veg stock (although i found this much made the soup a bit runny, if you prefer it a bit thicker don't use as much stock!)

Cut the squash, pepper and onion up and put in a pan, add the stock and simmer for 25 mins until the squash is soft
Blend and add a little black pepper to serve! Simple and yummy!!

2 POINTS® per 1 cup serving (Canada/US points system)

There’s not much work here—other than making the wrap for lunch before you’re out the door for work in the morning. This filling also makes a great topper for nachos on game day.


Ingredients
8 ounces cooked deli turkey meat, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/2 cup green bell pepper, seeded and diced
1/4 cup red onion, chopped
1/3 cup barbecue sauce
1 tsp ground cumin


Instructions
Stir all the ingredients in a large bowl.


* I made these today, they're delish! Serving is pretty generous as well. Pair with a WW or Bodywise wrap (1 point per wrap) and you've got a very filling and yummy lunch or dinner. Nice for in the summer when its muggy and you don't want to cook.
