Low Point Dinner :-)

2003-04-01 - 9:02 a.m.

I discovered a really yummy low point dinner last night :-). The great thing was that it was all an accident.

I haven't gone grocery shopping in a while, and I didn't remember to defrost anything, which meant scavenging for dinner. I happened upon some corn tortillas I had in my fridge - one point for two tortillas! WOW!

I then went scavenging through the pantry. Fat free refried beans - 1 point per half cup.

1 tortilla + 1/4 cup beans (about all you can fit in the thing) = 1 point quesidilla!

So I had 3, and some peas (though, in hindsight, I should have made corn). My dinner came to 5 points and I was STUFFED!

The quesidillas were pretty boring, what with no real condiments. If I actually plan it, I could add some cheese (well, that will add about half a point) and maybe some sour cream (probably another half point). I'll also cook some onions into the beans for some flavor and added, no point bulk. But it was still really quite good, especially for a low key, no planning, 2 ingredient, 10 minute meal.

That right there is the makings for a good day. Now, if only I didn't have insomnia last night and a marathon meeting today....
