WW Buffalo Chicken Pizza



My new addiction has been buffalo chicken. All summer I have tried any kind of dish with the words "buffalo chicken" in it. Being on Weight Watchers, buffalo wings and fried chicken with buffalo sauce isn't the best choice for my POINTS for the day, so I have had to improvise. My newest lunch creation is this buffalo chicken pizza, made with the Flat Wrap I mentioned earlier in the tuna salad entry from a few days ago. It was delicious! The pictures are horrible, and I apologize for that. I really need a new camera I think! Hint hint, hubby!


Buffalo Chicken Pizza
(source: ME!)

3 oz diced chicken breast
Frank's hot sauce or Buffalo Wing Sauce
1/4 cup part skim mozzerella cheese
1 flatwrap tortilla


Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray flatwrap with olive oil cooking spray on both sides. Bake on cookie sheet for about 6-7 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix desired amount of hot sauce and chicken. I just eyeballed this, and made sure the chicken was generously coated.
Spread chicken mixture on tortilla, top with cheese. Drizzle additional sauce over cheese if desired. Bake for another 5-6 minutes until cheese is melted and beginning to brown.

I cut this into 6 pieces and it was a lot easier to eat. This has become my new favorite lunch! And it is POINTS friendly!

Lunch Favorite!


I have been on WW now for a week and this has become my favorite lunch. It's low in points and it's very yummy. First of all, I want to totally recommend the Flat Out Wraps (I have the light ones). They are a low carb wrap that I found near the health food section at the grocery store. They are so delicious! And only 1 POINT...can't beat that!!

Tuna Salad Wrap

1 pouch tuna in water
1 tbsp lite mayo
3 mini pickles, diced (or relish)
1 wrap (try a Flat Out Wrap!)
1/2 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic salt
salt and pepper to taste

Mix all together, lay in wrap. The great thing about these wraps is that you don't have to just put the goodies in the middle. They are really long so you can spread it out and then roll them tightly. Cut in half at a slant. Enjoy!

Easy Peanut-y Noodle Lunch For Me!



Being home during the summer is WONDERFUL, however....it provides the opportunity to eat out for lunch daily, which can get EXPENSIVE! So I have been looking for meals to make for lunch and have enough for a couple of days. Well, I have found that recipe! I have always wanted to try a peanut butter based noodle sauce, but many have fish oil or coconut milk in it and yuck! I found this recipe on the WC board, posted by mlr513. I modified it a little because I wanted to add some veggies to it, and it is so yummy!!!

Spicy Noodles with Peanut Sauce

10 oz spaghetti noodles
1/3 cup hot water
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tsp vinegar (I used rice vinegar)
2 tsp low sodium soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
Red pepper flakes to taste (I used about a tsp)
1 tsp sugar (I skipped this because rice vinegar is already sweet)
1/2 cup each finely diced onion, green pepper, and seeded tomatoes

Boil water in large pot, add noodles and salt to taste. As noodles cook, mix the peanut butter and hot water in large bowl to smooth into a sauce consistency. Add soy sauce, vinegar, garlic and red pepper flakes and combine.

When noodles are done, drain and add to the sauce bowl. Add diced veggies and toss with sauce until well combined. Any leftovers are yummy cold as well! Enjoy!!
