Slow Cooker Chicken and White Bean Soup with Quinoa

(Click on the link above to access her recipe)

It is seriously SO good!!!

You must try it!!!

And the best thing is that is was so healthy I didn't need to make any modifications!

*note: I only added one red pepper & Aggie has you adding 2.  I just know my kids would not be happy if I added another one.  They were already bemoaning the fact that it had vegetables!

Here is the WW Points + breakdown (Round up as you deem necessary):

1 cup soup: 3 pts +

1/4 cup quinoa: 1.25  pts+

I also added 2 Tablespoons of lite sour cream (1 pts +)

and a Tablespoon of shredded cheese (1 pts +)

I served it with my Whole Wheat Cornbread muffins.  That recipe can be found here.

She is an amazing cook and I love her recipes!  Go check her out!

Here is my version of Aggie's Kitchens yummy Baked Parmesan Zucchini Sticks:

Baked Parmesan Zucchini Sticks

Serves: 4

WW Points + per serving: 3

• 3 large zucchini, sliced longways, halved and cut into sticks
• 1/2 cup egg beaters
• 1/2 cup italian bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup reduced fat Parmesan cheese, grated

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Line your cooking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. 
2. Mix Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs together in a shallow bowl.  Place egg beaters in another shallow bowl.
3. Dip zucchini in egg, shake off excess and coat in the bread crumb mixture.  I do 4 sticks at a time.  *note: wipe egg off fingertips with a paper towel before touching the breadcrumb mixture.  Otherwise you will end up with a globby mess...trust me...it's gross and unusable.
4. Place them in a single layer on your cooking sheet.  
5. Bake for 10 minutes.  Turn sticks over to brown the other side.  Bake an additional 10 minutes.

I ate mine plain, because I love them that way.  But my kids dipped theirs in ranch.  A good marinara sauce would be yummy with it too!  Whatever you do...don't forget to count your points!!!
