Spicy Oats, Spinach dip

After reading my sisters blog yesterday, she made spicy oats, so I decided to do the same. It’s only my second time making them and it was so good and it kept me full until lunch.

I had:

1/2 cup of oats
1 oz. cheese
1 1/2 oz. of leftover taco meat
2 egg whites, cooked and chopped

I cooked the oats first. I like them very creamy, so I use almost 2 cups of water with the half cup of oats. I cook it in the microwave for 1 minute. Then I added the taco meat, cheese and egg whites, cooked again for like 30 seconds until it was hot.

7 points for this HUGE bowl!

I know it doesn’t look very pretty, but it was so good. Just make sure you have salt and pepper and hot sauce!

When I got home from work yesterday, I was happy to find these in my mailbox!

I was offered a free trial and if you don’t know, I am a magazine-a-holic. I love reading, Shape, Women’s Health, Cooking Light, Clean Eating, etc… I’ve actually cut way down on buying magazines, and I have found them in yard sales and re-sale shops for 25 cents. There was a time I couldn’t go into a grocery store without buying a magazine. Plus my sister and I exchange them too, so that’s fun!

One recipe I read in there was for spinach dip – low calories too! I am totally going to make this!

1 package frozen, chopped spinach, thawed
1/4 cup non fat mayonnaise
1/2 cup part skim ricotta cheese
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
2 large scallions, chopped
2 oz. crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
1-2 tsp. horseradish

Just blend until smooth! Makes 12 servings, each serving is 30 calories, 1.5 grams of fat and 1 gram fiber

I hope everyone has a great Saturday. I am thinking about taking a long bike ride this morning, its beautiful outside!
