Kerry I was looking for some Eggplant recipes for you so far I found 2 recipes for Eggplant parmesan which I will post anyway But I'll keep looking for something else
(I am a recipe junkie)

EGGPLANT PARMESAN (4 Point)
Ingredients:

1 cup dry bread crumbs -- unseasoned
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tsp. dried basil
4 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 medium eggplants -- about 2 pounds, unpeeled, each cut crosswise into 8 slices
vegetable cooking spray -- orolive oil spray
3 cups low-fat spaghetti sauce
1 cup part skim milk mozzarella cheese -- shredded
2 TBLSP. fresh parsley -- chopped
Procedure


In a shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, and basil. Mix well. In another shallow bowl, lightly beat together egg whites andsalt. Working one at a time, dip eggplant slices into egg whites, then into crumb mixture. Turn to coat both sides with crumbs.

Place slices on 1 large or 2 small baking sheets that have been sprayed with non-stick spray. Spray tops of slices lightly with olive oil cooking spray.

Bake at 400¼F for 15 minutes. Remove eggplant slices from oven, turn them over, and spray again with cooking spray. Return to oven and bake for 15 more minutes.

To assemble casserole, spoon 1 cup pasta sauce over bottom of 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
Top with 1/2 eggplant slices. Spoon another 1 cup sauce over eggplant, followed by 1/2 mozzarella. Repeat layering with remaining eggplant slices, sauce, and mozzarella.

Sprinkle parsley over top. Return to oven and bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes, until cheese is completely melted and sauce is bubbly. Serve immediately!

Would anyone happen to have a WW recipe for a sausage roll? My leader handed it out during a meeting long ago and it was delicious. You could have (2) 1" slices for very few points and it was great for breakfast. I think it used refrigerated dough, turkey sausage, mozzarella, provolone, garlic powder and margarine. You would roll out the dough, brush the margarine and garlic powder on, crumble the sausage, sprinkle with the cheeses, then roll up and pinch the ends and bake. It was a long roll and then you would cut it into 1" slices. It was so good.

wow, just stopped by to see what this thread was all about and I saw A LOT of my WW friends here. hi guys. Enjoyed looking at the recipes and I will try some of them. IF any of you like salmon patties (canned) let me know and I will post a great salmon patty recipe that I tried from one of the WW cookbooks that I got at the meeting 2 weeks ago. It's called Wasabi Salmon Pattie's.

[kerri]

I would love it..I love Salmon. Always looking for new idea,s

[Munka213]

This recipe was probably from the mid 80's. I know it used cottage cheese, chopped green pepper, onion, maybe bread crumbs and tuna? Not sure, but it was made into patties and baked. They were soooooo good! I have searched all over the internet and can't find it. I'm not even sure what WW plan it was in - Flex, Quick Start, etc. etc.

Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

[KaeN]

Wow! Is this place ever a great source of recipes! I just tried the Meatloaf Muffins from the first page and they're fantastic! I'm taking the plunge and doing WW with a friend and our respective moms. Time to slim down--again.

I have absolutely no idea if any of you will have this recipe but I'm hoping someone might know it or know where I can look. It's a meatloaf recipe that uses cauliflower in place of the oatmeal or rice normally used. My mom used to make it way back when she was on WW in the 80s. You could have 1/4 of one loaf as a serving but mom used to make two loafs and you'd have half a loaf as a serving. I can't imagine the points would be too high now.

I'll gather up some of the recipes I used the last time I did this and put them up. I had a meat crust pizza that was really yummy.
