Yep, you guessed it, this week in the meetings we will be delving into the Filling Foods and how they can make all the difference in the world for you! DON'T MISS YOUR MEETING THIS WEEK!!!

Grilled Cinnamon Peaches 4 large peaches, peeled, halved and pitted 3 servings butter-flavored cooking spray ½ tsp. cinnamon Off heat, lightly coat grill grate with cooking spray, preheat grill to medium-high heat. Sprinkle cinnamon evenly over cut sides of peaches, lightly coat with cooking spray, place peaches on grill, cut side down, grill until browned and slightly softened, about 5 minutes, for best results do not move the peaches during grilling, this will ensure the attractive grill marks and keep the peaches from sticking to the grill. Turn the peaches over and grill on the other side for about 3 minutes more, serve warm, 2 peach halves per serving , serves 4, 1 point per serving. |

Creamy Potato Salad - Serves 6 (1 cup serving), 2 Points per serving
1. Combine 1 1/2 lbs cubed red potatoes and 1/4 cup water in large microwavable bowl. Cover with wax paper and microwave on high until fork tender (aprox 7-8 minutes stirring every 2 minutes.) Drain and let cool.
2. Meanwhile, make dressing: Mix 1/2 cup plain fat-free yogurt (I use Yoplait Vanilla for a richer flavor), 1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise, 2 large chopped hard boiled eggs, 1/3 cup diced red onion, 1/4 cup chopped parsley, 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp pepper (can use cayenne).
3. Stir potatoes into dressing.
4. Sprinkled 3 strips crumbled crisp-cooked turkey bacon on top (I just mix it in to the dressing).
