#8 Potatoes - Best Ever Oven French Fries

I just figure 3 oz. of potatoes equals one WW point. So I weigh the potatoes and fix 3 points per person. The coating is for 2 large baking potatoes so double it if you are doing more! Really, really good!

Oven 425 degrees. Spray a nonstick pan with Pam. Combine and stir in a large bowl:

2 lighthly beaten egg whites
3/4 teaspoon cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp pepper

Peel the potatoes and cut into long thin strips. Toss in the bowl and coat. Place in a single layer on Pam sprayed cooking sheet. Spray it well, you don't want these to stick. Bake about 15 minutes. Then raise to highest level in oven and broil for about 10 minutes. WATCH them and don't leave them in too long. But this really crisps them up. Yum, yum! If they sit out for a bit before dinner, just broil a minute or two before serving to warm and recrisp!

#7 Dreamfield Spaghetti

This spaghetti is great! Steven found it and bought it because it is low in carbs. But it taste great and on WW it is only 3 points a serving. It tastes soooo much better than whole wheat. Trust me! I really, really like this sauce with it. It doesn't have that old "Tomatoey" flavor. Try it, you'll love it.

3/4 lb lean (I use 97% - on sale) hamburger
1 finely chopped onion
2 tsps minced garlic from the jar
1 chopped carrot
3 cups sliced mushrooms
1 can diced tomatoes
1 tbs tomato paste
1/2 tsp each basil, oregano
1/4 cup skim milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Cook hamburger, add onion and garlic, cook about five minutes - til soft. Add carrot, cook a couple of minutes. Add mushrooms, tomatoes and paste. Boil, reduce heat and cook for ten minutes. Add milk cook, uncovered for 15 minutes.

1 serving pasta and 1/8 sauce is about 5 points. A great meal!
