Wasa Bread Pizzas!

Wasa Bread Pizzas

2 points each

Wasa bread is my new BFF.   Wasa is a really crispy (aka, hard) flat bread.  It is about the size of maybe two regular saltines next to each other, but thicker.  It is low in points and high in whole grains and fiber.  I just realized I ate Wasa for all 3 meals today, .

Tonight, I made Wasa Bread Pizzas for dinner.  They were 2 points each and I had 2 of them.  They turned out great!  I wasn't sure if the Wasa bread would get really soggy from the spaghetti sauce; luckily it didn't.

They were super easy to make.  Here's what I did:

• Preheat oven to 425.
• Turn 2 Wasa breads upside down on a cooking sheet.  The tops of the Wasa breads have lots of nooks and crannies; the bottoms are flatter and easier to spread stuff on.
  
• Spread 1 tablespoon of spaghetti sauce on each bread.
• Sprinkle 1/2 oz of shredded cheese on each bread.
• Bake at 425 for about 3 or 4 minutes.
• Enjoy!

That's it!  The most time consuming part was shredding the cheese, but if you buy pre-shredded cheese (it is more expensive than block cheese) then it would be even faster.

What to do with leftover rice?? Hot rice cereal for breakfast!!

The other night I made some brown rice to go with a thick bean soup I made.  Well, I made WAY too much rice.  I hate to waste food, so I had to figure out what to do with the leftover rice.  I thought that I could make it like oatmeal for breakfast!  It turned out really yummy!

Here's the nutrition data:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup cooked brown rice
• About 2 Tbs whole milk
• Very thin pat of butter
• 1 tsp blueberry preserves
• 1 tsp peanut butter
• 1 tsp flax seed meal

Directions

Combine rice and milk in bowl.  Add butter and reheat until heated through.  Add jelly, peanut butter and flax seed meal.

Really good and filling!  Of course, you can add whatever you like to it, I just happen to like PB&J in my oatmeal.  :)
