2 cups frozen mixed veggies, thawed

1 can Campbell's 98% Fat Free Cream of Chicken Soup

1 can Campbell's 98% Fat Free Cream of Mushroom Soup

Cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Saute onion and mushrooms. Add soups and tomatoes. Heat until well mixed. Mix with cooked spaghetti. Bake in 2qt. dish for 30 minutes at 350º.

*The entire recipe has 33.9 points. I usually divide my dish into fourths (a good portion size), so 1 serving would have 8.5 points. You can adjust this to whatever serving size you want. Just divide 33.9 by however many servings you make out of it.

Awesome Food Find


In this weeks meeting, they had a great food find I thought I would share. It's the Western Alternative Bagel and its only ONE POINT. (click here) I went to Walmart and got a bag to try and they are really yummy and totally fills you up. Great when you get the munchies for Carbs. In my Wal-mart they are by the other breads near the freezer section. You can use the Skinny cow cheese spread on them or fat Free Cream cheese as well. I totally recommend them. YUMMY
