A (somewhat) nice winter’s night meal

Pin It Today I made my Cider Baked Beans, yeast free brown bread and turkey dogs (well, I cooked the turkey dogs – Oscar Mayer made them :)

The baked beans were very good (and when I plugged them into the WW eTools, they worked out to 7 points)!  There were 2 cups of turnip and 2 large carrots in the recipe and you’d never even know it!  Each serving of beans contains a full serving of veggies!  I think next time I might cut up an apple or two and throw it into the mix.
While the beans were cooking I got the bright idea to make bread…only I had no yeast…and only had about an hour til suppertime :)  I found a recipe for yeastless bread that only took about 5 minutes to mix up and 50 minutes to bake… Yeah…5 minute bread…not a great idea :(  It’s very dense….and tastes a lot like flour.  At least my beans and weenies were good!!

I also made PC Blue Menu Dark Chocolate Bran muffins…may try one later on this evening.  I’ll keep you posted. UPDATE:  These were just OK.  Disappointing for a Blue Menu product - a bit dry if you ask me.  Likely won't buy/make again - they were 4 points+ for a regular size muffin.

My nieces ate the last of my chicken noodle soups from my freezer today when they came for lunch, so I threw another batch in the Crockpot – added some turnip this time (leftover from the bean recipe)…hopefully the Crockpot method works as well as the stovetop method did.
