4 strawberries 1cup orange juice.
Place all in a blender and puree thoroughly. Enjoy.

if you get the right orange juice.

EASY SLOPPY JOE'S:
You'll need: 1 lb ground burger 1 Tbsp brown mustard1 onion, chopped 1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 t. garlic powder 1 t. Worcestershire sauce
3/4 c. ketchup
In skillet, cook burger, onion, and garlic powder over medium heat till burger is cooked and onions are tender. Stirring to break up meat. Add remaining ingredients, stirring well. Simmer over medium-low heat, 7 to 10 minutes.
Tip: For Weight Watcher's, this is about 4 points, using 1/4 cup meat and a bun.
Note: All of my burger comes straight from the butcher, so there is not all of the added extra crap that you get when you buy from the store. Makes the mean more lean and lower in points.

You'll need: 7-8 medium potatoes, cubed 2 lbs. sausage water
1 onion, diced 5 Tbsp Parkay Spread 2 Tbsp olive oil

Cook sausage with 1 Tbsp of the Parkay Spread in the medium size skillet, over medium heat till almost cooked. In the large skillet, add the potatoes, onion, cayenne pepper, olive oil and the remaining 4 Tbsp of the Parkay Spread. Cook on medium heat. You may wish to add some water to help keep potatoes from sticking. When the sausage is almost done, drain any liquid and add sausage to the potatoes. Stir well. Cover with lid and continue cooking over medium-low heat till desired doneness. Sprinkle cheese on top and stir lightly. Serve while still hot.
Tip: For Weight Watcher's, this is about 6 points for a 1 cup serving.
Note: Like my burger, my sausage comes straight from the butcher as well.
* I used linked sausage, but removed the skins and cut the links into chunks.

WRAPPED SALMON:
You'll need: 1 box Stuffing 1 (14.75oz) can of Salmon 1 tsp. chives Parkay Spread
salt, black pepper, cajun, seasoned salt, onion powder, garlic powder, to taste
Romaine or Red Leaf lettuce
Preheat grill. Make stuffing as per instructions. Wash lettuce and take off leaves. Drain liquid from salmon. Even though you can eat the bones that are in the salmon, I remove them and any skin that is still on it. Place salmon in medium size bowl, add rest of the ingredients, except the stuffing. On each leaf of lettuce, put about a heaping tablespoon of the salmon mixture and about a heaping teaspoon of stuffing. Wrap the lettuce around the filling, using care, as the lettuce is very fragile. Place foil on grill and spray with Parkay Spread. Place wraps on grill, cook on low heat for 5 minutes, flip, spray wraps with Parkay Spread and cook another 5 minutes. Be careful though not to burn the lettuce. Serve while hot.

| Romaine Lettuce |
 |
| Red Leaf Lettuce |
Tip: For Weight Watcher's, this is about 3
points, per wrap.
 |
| Wraps after being grilled |
 |
| Wraps ready to be grilled |
Note: I tried this with both types of lettuce. The Red leaf lettuce was a little easier to cut after being
cooked than the Romaine. But both are very good.

GRILLED PEACHES:
You'll need: 3 Peaches 1 Tbsp. Coconut Palm Sugar 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Parkay Spread 1 pkg instant vanilla pudding
Preheat grill. Prepare pudding as per instructions, put in fridge till later. In small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon, set aside. Wash peaches, cut in half, along vein and remove pit. Spray cut sides of peaches with Parkay Spread and place on grill. Cook on low heat for about 5 minutes. Spray skin side of peaches with the Parkay and then flip peaches over. Sprinkle sugar cinnamon mixture over cut side of peaches and cook for another 5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook, you want them fork tender, but not mushy. Remove from grill and put on plate, adding a spoonful of the pudding. Serve while still warm.
Tip: For Weight Watcher's, this is about 1 point, per half of peach.
Note: Depending on the size of the peaches that you use, you may need more of the sugar cinnamon mixture. You also do not want real rip peaches as they will get mushy and won't cook as nicely. Go for peaches that aren't quite ripe yet.
