Spaghetti with spaghetti squash noodles

My dinner was delicious! I love the spaghetti squash! I don't miss the pasta at all and I figured 29 points for the whole pan of spaghetti and 4 huge servings, 8 points each. There was 19oz of ground turkey and the whole jar of pasta sauce was 10 points. The onion, mushrooms and squash were ZERO. I sprinkled parmesan and some salt on top. 

I think next time I will try to cook out the water in the squash after I scrape it out.  I will throw it in the fry pan with some salt and pepper and maybe a little garlic. 

Recently purchased groceries and ideas for good eats

 

 I hesitated trying any chocolate flavored yogurt, I had this just minutes ago and it is really good.  2 points plus and it was on sale 90¢.

 This product was purchased at Aldi's, I don't have the price.  I have not tried the Priano brand sauces.  I am going to make spaghetti with spaghetti squash rather than pasta.  This product is 2 points per ½ cup and the jar is 6 servings.  That is pretty good point wise.  I will add some mushrooms to it.  I expect it to be very good.

 So I had a brilliant idea for a pounded chicken crust pizza.  Instead of using the grated mozzarella I would use this thin cut mozzarella on top.  It is 1 point per thin slice. The price per package was 3.49  A serving size is 3 slices but 1 point per slice for real cheese is great.

 I was thinking these would be great crumbled up as a crust for a pudding pie. 1 cracker is 2 points and 2 crackers are 3 points.  These were on sale for $2.50.

This was purchased at Aldi's and I don't have the price.  I also have not tried these preserves yet.  1 tablespoonful is 10 calories and 1 point.  2 tablespoonsful is 1 point also.  When you go up to 3 tablespoonsful then the points value increases to 2 points.

HyVee has a very good light whipped topping similar to Cool Whip but it is much cheaper.  This 8 ounce container was $1.38. 1 point per 2 tablespoonsful and increases to 2 points at 3 tablespoonsful. 

This Sugar Free Jello pudding is 2 points per container.  The 4 pack cost $2.28.  I am going to make a mini cream pie with ½ of a graham cracker, pudding and whip topping for 4 points.  Yum.

 

These wraps are 2 points each. They were $3.99 at HyVee.  I am thinking a wonderful pizza could be made with these.  I would toast it in the oven on my pizza stone and the load it with sauce and veggies and one of the slim slices of mozzarella!

I grabbed these thinking about banana pudding. I didn't realize they were reduced fat until I put them in my basket. The box was $3.98.  They are 3 points per 8 cookies, 2 points per 6 cookies and 2 cookies per point.  These also could be crushed up for a cream pie crust.

Another mad idea I had was crushed graham cracker crumbs on top of the pudding instead of a crust. 2.5 tablespoonsful is 2 points.  $3.19 a box.
