Turkey Bacon, Salad Dressing, Scallops and Cream Cheese

When I was looking for a low fat Cream Cheese I couldn't find anything at Walmart. I actually googled low fat Cream Cheese and this was the only thing I found, and it was available at my local Tops Markets. Just as it says, it's fat free.


My husband and I were doing our grocery shopping at Walmart when I came across these Scallops. I've been wanting to try something new, and these are great low fat food to throw in stir fry or a chowder.
Turkey Bacon is a good low fat alternative to regular bacon. 
My family eats this every week, and it's just as good as the real stuff :)

This salad dressing tastes just like French dressing. It's absolutely fat free and tastes great! My mother turned me onto it a couple weeks ago when I last visited with her. I looked at our last shopping trip for it and found it at Walmart :)

Honey Barbecue Meatloaf

I was experimenting a little bit in my kitchen the other day, really wanting some barbecue but not wanting to go outside and grill or anything... I wasn't sure what to do, and it was getting close to dinner time. I only had 1lb of ground beef... So using some stuff that I had laying around I whipped up meatloaf and mashed potatoes & a steamables veggie bag.

All these ingredients can be found at Walmart or probably you're local grocery store.

1lb ground beef (4% fat is what I used)
1/2 cup Sweet Baby Rays Honey Barbecue Sauce (if you can't find that, I'm sure any alternative BBQ sauce would work just as good)
1/2 cup of plain bread crumbs
2 egg whites
1 package of Onion Soup Mix (I used Great Value, but there's a Beefy Onion one that's sooo good too!)

mix it all together and form a loaf, throw about another half a cup of BBQ sauce on top and pop it in the oven till it's done (mine was about an hour)

It smells so good! It wasn't bad either. This recipe minus the BBQ sauce is what I use to make meatballs as well. The meatballs are perfect for Meatball Sandwiches, or Meatballs and Gravy.

Enjoy!
