Oops - no photo again. It's a drink. Mystery solved.
Points: 1 pt / entire slushie
Review: A 1 pt slushie? Unheard of. And it's yummy. Definitely criteria for a 5.0. And it introduced me to V8 Splash which is pretty freaking good.
Score: 5.0

Creamy Crab Salad
Oops, no photo.
Points: 2 pts per 3/4 cup
Review: I don't like seafood. But this crab salad is awesome. And you can actually eat quite a bit of it and still be healthy. Toss it with some lettuce and it coats everything pretty well. I like.
Score: 4.5

Philly Cheesesteak Lettuce Cups
Points: 4 pts per 2 lettuce cups
Review: Haven't fully gotten the hang of this romaine "lettuce cup" thing. The spine of romaine is just too crunchy - it doesn't roll into a cup. Also, I'm not big on sacrificing bread for points. It's my weakness. I'd rather have a low-carb tortilla or low-calorie bread than this weird lettuce cup. The filling was good though.

Snazzy Spanish Omelette (vegetarian)
Points: 3 pts/whole thing
Review: This omelette had some good flavor with some fire-roasted tomatoes. But it was a little complicated for my morning brain to handle. I like simple morning food.

Ginormous Oven-baked Omelette (vegetarian)
Points: 3 points per 1/4 of the recipe (photo shows 1/4)
Review: This recipe was really yummy. However, it took FOREVER. I think it was supposed to take an hour bake time but I thought I could cook half the night before and half the morning of. The omelette and I did not see eye-to-eye. It still took a full hour in the morning. I wake up hungry. This did not work for me.
Score: 5.0 for taste but a 3.0 overall because of time/effort.

four-cheese stuffed-silly mushrooms (vegetarian)
Review: I think I must have done something wrong because these were WAY too good to be healthy. And they were stuffed silly. I made more mushrooms than the recipe called for and still there was so much stuffing that I think I just had to eat some. And it was super yummy.
Score: 4.75
cheesy saucy veggie stacks (vegetarian)
Review: This recipe was pretty good once I figured out what I was doing. I'm not good and reading through a recipe before I start it so I thought these servings would be little "stacks" of veggies (as the name implies, right?) but it's really more like lasagna. So I cut up some of my veggies wrong. Nothing harmful to the recipe, just less pretty.
Score: 4.5
pb-nana poppers (vegetarian)
Review: These were delish! And super easy. I think it beats frozen grapes any day!
Score: 5.0
miracle mashies (vegetarian)
Points: 1 pt per 2/3 cup
Review: These were REALLY good. Pretty easy too. I like good and easy. Combine that with low in points and you get a 5.0!
Score: 5.0
no-name peachy pumpkin drink (vegetarian)
Review: I did not like this. Period. Pumpkin and Peach flavored tea. Ew.
Score: 1.0
104-calorie crème brûlée (vegetarian)
Review: Dislike. Maybe it's my own fault. I do not have a hand-held butane kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar. So, it's really just crème. But it was blah crème.
Score: 2.0
fiber-ific fried cheese sticks (vegetarian)
Review: Woah, I'm a slacker because I didn't write this sooner. I didn't like these so much. Mostly because they got cold really fast so even though they look toasty and warm and soft. They were not. Weird. Alf liked them ok.
Score: 3.0
Pumpkin Pudding Parfait (vegetarian)
Review: Can I say YUM? This was really good. Like all the best parts of pumpkin pie without any of the nasty aftertaste. I had it for breakfast and it was pretty filling. And totally yummy!
Score: 5.0
The Breakfast Club
Points: 4 pts/whole thing
Review: This dish was pretty substantial and pretty good. If you can cook the ground turkey and bacon ahead of time, then it doesn't take long to prepare either. It called for tomatoes but I had none so I tried it without. I don't really think I missed them much.
Score: 4.25
jell-O fizzy fruit minis
Points: ~1 point/dessert cup
Review: Who would have thought that something so simple could be so WOW? It reminds me of my mom's jello cookbook. I mean, HELLO. Diet orange soda mixed with raspberry gelatin? Genius.
Score: 5.0
