21. Meatloaf Pizza Pie

I wrote this recipe up as a guest post over at Thoughtful Momma! My friend Rebekah has been eating my cooking (good and bad) for years while giving me thoughtful advice on everything from having babies, to getting married and more! She has even inspired me to try new foods (I used to be pretty picky) and was the first person I ever saw use cast iron!

So go on over to Thoughtful Momma for Meatloaf Pizza Pie, and when you're done give the rest of her blog a read, it is heartfelt and thought inspiring!

16. Barbie Cups

Another one from the WW online message boards! I loved this one. It was so simple and tasty, and fast. I served it with a side of steamed corn.

Barbie Cups - 6 points per serving
Serves 8
Special Equipment: Muffin or Cupcake Pan

1 lb ground turkey
1 cup BBQ sauce
1 cup fat free shredded cheddar cheese
1 can low fat refrigerated biscuits
Pam Spray

Preheat oven based on directions of biscuit can.
Brown ground turkey and drain.
Mix in BBQ sauce.
Spray muffin tins with Pam.
Smash each biscuit (I used a cutting board and just pressed them flat with my palm) and fit into muffin pans.
Spoon meat mixture into biscuits. Sprinkle with cheese.
Bake as directed on biscuit cans.

Enjoy!

15. BBQ Meatballs

This recipe is also inspired by the WW message boards. I tweaked it a bit. It was originally an appetizer recipe with 2 meat balls per serving, but since my house loves meatballs so much I turned it into a main dish.

These were incredibly tasty and since I doubled the recipe (we had guests over) we had leftovers for lunches. These are great no matter what you serve them with and only 6 points for 10 meatballs. It is a nice serving size for any hungry girl or guy!

BBQ Meatballs - 6 points per serving
Serves 10 -11

3lbs lean ground turkey
1 large onion finely chopped
1/4th cups parsley chopped
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 tsp beef bouillon
2 medium cloves garlic chopped
2 cups uncooked quick oats
2 1/2 cups of your favorite BBQ Sauce
4 medium egg whites

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Combine all ingredients, except barbecue sauce, in a large-size bowl; mix well.

Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Shape meatball mixture into 112 (I know that sounds like so much, it took about 15 minutes) 1-inch balls; place on baking sheet.

Bake at 350ºF until cooked through, about 25 minutes. Transfer meatballs to a chafing dish or crockpot to keep warm.

Meanwhile, heat barbecue sauce over medium-high heat until hot. Pour sauce over cooked meatballs, toss gently and serve. Enjoy!
