I will say, I was pretty good at heating up Lean Pockets as well though....
But now that I've been cooking for two for a few years now...I believe I have made some significant improvements. I try new recipes every week, tweaking ingredients to make them WW friendly, and trying to find recipes with veggies Matt and I would be willing to try (or ones where I can cut them small enough that we don't know they are there). I'm more open to trying vegetables than Matt is....AKA: the husband that won't eat anything green...but I'm not too far behind him in the picky department.
However, last night I made a dish that both of us loved! It's called Weeknight Lasagna Toss. I find a ton of my recipes on Kraft Foods. You should definitely check them out!
BROWN meat in large saucepan; drain.
ADD peppers, garlic, spaghetti sauce, water and dressing; bring to boil. Stir in noodles; cover.
COOK on medium-low heat 10 to 15 min. or until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with cheese; cover. Let stand 5 min. or until cheese is melted.
I only used one pepper in this recipe because I didn't want it to overwhelm the meal...but that is obviously just our preference. You could definitely use two and it would work out perfect.
I will not pretend that this particular meal is super WW friendly, but I usually spend 8-10 points on dinner so it wasn't too crazy for me...and you got a lot of food for your points. The recipe was neither complicated nor time consuming and it made a ton of food. Yeah for leftovers!
Enjoy!

Yum! Great recipe, thanks. I love lasagna but I don't like taking the time to make it ... this is a wonderful alternative because it seems a lot quicker!
OH man, that sounds heavenly...if I have the ingredients, maybe I can try this out! Sounds like something that hubby would love!
Lasagne is one thing I can make! xxxoo
What, no picture?! ;) Ooo, this sounds good! It would be easy for me to omit the meat (I'm a vegetarian). I could also throw in some broccoli. I may try this sometime this week!
Yum! Great job friend!!
Sounds yummy!!
Cooking is like baking. An art and talent that will mature and develop with a little practice :) That lasagna sounds delicious and easy! I will definitely try it out.

Thanks for the recipe--if it makes you feel any better I used to burn Easy Mac in college!
