Fennel and Tomato Soup ( WW+5), Open-Face Chopped Deviled Egg Sandwich (WW+ 3)

Hello, Well I made something new it is a Fennel and Tomato Soup and it is so easy to make and I broke it down for WW+ points which is 5 for 1 2/3 cups there are 6 servings out of this recipe but 5 points that is good with a salad for lunch or dinner, and it is great to freeze also.  Here is the recipe.

**** This is good****

*Note*

remember to cut out the center hard part and peel the first part off and you are good to go then to use the rest.

On the sausage I used all 4 it comes 4 to a package so that is what I did.

**************************************************

There is another soup I am going to make but will add that when I make it.

OK made this did change a few things around I will tell you what I did

Open-Face Chopped Deviled Egg Sandwich

Points Plus values per serving: 3

 Chop a large hard-boiled egg; gently mix with

1 teaspoon reduced-calorie mayonnaise, * Note at bottom*

1 teaspoon minced red onion, * Note at bottom*

 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard

 and

 salt and paprika to taste.

Spoon onto 1 slice light whole wheat toast;

sprinkle with chopped chives and paprika.

***Note***

I used  Vegenaise Mayo.  I am getting use to it and I also keep a jar of regular Mayo in the house.  I have to say I am learning to like it.

I did not have red onion in the house so I used spring onion or Scallion some call it.

***********************************

This has been so good so far as long as I can take recipes I like and also try new ones out and do the points it is good.  Is there anyone else doing the weight watchers + online??? 

So that is what is going on with me so far, I bought a new scale did not want to but since I am not going in to get weight I figured I better so this one talks, tells you your weight  lol so I hope this will do me good.  I really want to get healthy.  Since I have been on this less then a week my sugar is coming down and that is good for me. 

So I am going to close for now and will write in a few days to let you know of a recipe or what is going on. 

So take care and lets keep it safe out there.

Hugs
