Moo Shu Beef Lettuce Wraps

This is a Weight Watchers recipe -- it was pretty tasty. (and no water chestnuts Adrie!) The kids ate their filling in tortillas cause they weren't feelin' the lettuce. Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground beef - (7% fat)
1 c. chopped onion
2 T minced fresh ginger root
2 T minced garlic
1 c thinly sliced bok choy
1 thinly sliced red bell pepper
1 c thinly sliced button mushrooms
2 T low-sodium soy sauce
8 leaves bib lettuce (I used iceberg)

Use cooking spray and brown beef, onion, garlic and ginger (5-7 min). Then add the other ingredients (minus lettuce) and cook another 3-5 min -- til veggies are tender crispt and bok choy is wilted. Spoon about 1/2 c. into each lettuce leaf. Serves 4. (4 points per serving)

HOT DOG!

This week I started Weight Watchers again, so stay tuned for some healthy recipes (which I've already tried quite a few of) -- but for now I will explain how this hot dog is actually a good choice: throughout my whole pregnancy I've been dyin' for a good dog, and now that I'm not -- I'm supposed to shun them? I think NOT! Johnsonville has quite a tasty smoked turkey sausage -- for only 3 points! So with the whole wheat bagel, lettuce, tomato, pickle, mustard and ketchup, this lunch was a mere 5 points. Now THAT'S a good dog. (and tasty too.)
