Tales From The Scales recipe swap: main dishes

Well, I know it's summer and the thought of hot soups and stews are probably less appealing right now but we're still eating them at least once a week for a variety of reasons:

1. LOW POINTS!
2. Lots of veggies
3. LOW POINTS!
4. Easy on the cook
5. LOW POINTS!
6. Relatively inexpensive ingredients
7. LOW POINTS!

You get the idea.

Anyway, I can't recommend the
Taste of Home recipe finder enough. Thankfully, this first recipe is from them partially due to the fact they post the nutritional info on most of their low-fat recipes. So,here's my recommendations:

Pinto Bean Stew: 4 points per cup

I have three others that I would recommend but the TOH site says they are for magazine subscribers only. So, if you are one, there are also these options:


Kielbasa Cabbage Stew: 6 points for 1 3/4 cups
Slow Cooker Chili: 5 points per cup
Easy Minestrone: TWO points for 1 1/3 cups


So, go to Tales for the Scales today for more recipe ideas. Beth has scheduled these recipe swaps for each Wednesday for the next four weeks!
