A New Twist on Grilled Cheese

I love comfort food. And I tend to consider a lot of items as comfort food, such as pizza, pasta, chili, tomato soup and grilled cheese. I make sure that I can still enjoy these comfort foods whenever I want, but making them in a better, more point friendly, healthier way. As you know from posts before I love and follow anything and everything Hungry Girl, in one of her cookbooks, she had a sandwich section and grilled cheese was a topic of many pages, plus she had many emails sent out about the glorious, ooey gooey sandwich.

BWW, or better know as Before Weight Watchers, I used to make my grilled smothered in butter, with at least 4 pieces of cheese and on whole wheat bread. Yes, I would be the person to order a large fry, double cheese burger and a Diet Coke, like it was really going to make a difference, so me making my old grilled cheese on wheat rather than white, I felt like I was eating better, HA!! Now don't get me wrong it was still delicious, but way to fatty.

Hungry Girls version and now adapted to mine, eliminates all those points, calories and fat. I use as adapted by her, One piece of Reduced or Fat Free Cheese Single, One Wedge of Laughing Cow Cheese as my cheese portions. I was skeptical at first, that I would not be satisfied without all the cheese, I was wrong. The cheese wedge mixed with the single is the perfect ratio of cheese. This is the only way I make my grilled cheese now.

This recipe is my new favorite grilled cheese! I added guacamole and tomato to a plain old grilled cheese and gave it a even creamier, spicy, kick. Enjoy!!

Tomato, Guacamole Grilled Cheese
2 slices of reduced calorie wheat bread (2pp)
1 slice of Reduced or Fat Free Cheese Single (1pp)
1 wedge of Laughing Cow Creamy Light Swiss (1pp)
2 Slices of Tomato (0pp)
1 tablespoon of store bought guacamole- I used Spicy, pre- made portion guacamole packets from Publix, the whole packet is 2pp but I used half to make it (1pp)
10 sprays of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray

Spray your pan with non stick spray and set to medium heat.



On the bread spread the cheese wedge evenly on both pieces. Break the cheese single in half and lay a piece on each side or the whole piece on one side, doesn't really matter. Spread guacamole evenly on both pieces and put a slice of tomato on each piece.


Close sandwich. Spray the top piece of bread with Can't Believe, at least 5 sprays. Lay the sprayed side down on to your pan, while it is cooking, spray the side facing up with the Can't Believe Spray, then flip! You should have a nice golden brown. Keep on heat for at least 2 minutes. Once set to your perfection, remove from heat and enjoy your grilled cheese.



Paired best with a side of carrots and pickles or nice bowl of tomato soup!



Enjoy!

Total sandwich-5pp

Low Point Apple Crisp

Image
At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now. Apple Crisp Serving Size 4 4pp for a serving 4-5 medium apples 2 packets of Cinnamon or Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal (preferably one that are 100-120 calories or 3pp) 8 oz of Diet Sprite or Diet 7up 5 sprays of Can't Believe It's Not Butter 1tsp of light brown sugar 8x8 baking pan Here is what I used: I actually used 5 apples because I

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look

Let's Go To The Movies....And EAT at Cobb Theaters Tyrone

Image
As part of the Tampa Bay Bloggers, I was given access and a gift card to tour the new Cobb Theatre at the Tyrone Square Mall for social share and blog post, all opinions and reviews are my own. I have lived in the St. Petersburg Area for almost 7 years now and worked at the Tyrone Square Mall for 6.5. In those 6.5 years, I anxiously waited for the mall to get a movie theatre and the time has finally come and this is not just any run of the mill movie theatre, this one is luxury and spacious and a whole experience on its own. Nanci, over at This Crazy Life of Mine , also a Tampa Bay Blogger and more importantly one of my besties, and I have partnered with our blog post about the Cobb Experience. She was in attendance also and there is so much to tell you, we decided to break it up into TWO part posts, linking to the two of our blogs together. I am going to give you the details on the food experience at Cobb, believe me it is more than just soda, candy and popcorn and Nanci is going
