Alterniative Bagels

Alternative Bagels can be found at Walmart next to the cream cheese. One of the nursery leaders in my ward told me about these bagels and I just wanted to share with you this new found love of mine. I love bagels and cream cheese. In high school after going to the gym, I would stop at O Mally's and get a bagel with extra cream cheese. (I know, it kind of defeats the purpose of going to the gym right?) I have always loved bagels and have just about given up eating them unless on vacation. Now that I have tried these babies, I have had a bagel every day. Yeah!!! These bagels have 7 grams of dietary fiber, 110 calories and .05 grams fat. That is only 2 points per bagel. If you get weight watcher cream cheese, which I can't tell the flavor difference between this and regular, it is only 3 points for a bagel and cream cheese. I am in bagel heaven and loving every minute of it. I can't wait to have a bagel sandwich tomorrow! Plus they have 4 fabulous flavors to try.

Breakfast Cookies

My mother in law gave me this recipe and it was a lot of fun to make. For a big breakfast cookie this is great! Thanks Carrie!!!
5 pts per cookie. Makes 12 Cookies

1 large banana, mashed about 1/2 cup
1/2 C chunky peanut butter (I used reduced fat creamy)

1 C rolled oats
1/2 C whole wheat flour
1/4 C dry milk
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 C dried cranberries or raisins

Spray two cookie sheets with cooking spray.
In large bowl mix together banana, peanut butter, honey and vanilla. In a small bow mix dry ingredients together. Pour into large bowl and mix well. Add dried cranberries or raisins and mix well. Using a 1/4 cup measure, drop mounds of dough onto cookie sheet. If you want perfect cookies flatten with a spoon into 3 1/2 to 4 inch rounds. Bake one sheet at a time at 350 for 14-16 min or until browned. Cookies will stay good on the counter for up to three days or in the freezer for 2 months.
