I've been using a scoop of my powdered/dry milk in some different foods lately. 1/3 C of my dry milk is 1 point and it's a whole milk serving. The other day I made oatmeal and put part of a scoop in it and it was great. I normally put a 1/2 C of milk in my oatmeal but this way, since it's dry, it just makes it more creamy and if I use the whole 1/3 C it's giving me the WHOLE milk serving instead of just half like a half cup of milk would.
Well today I tried something that I really liked:
Blend-
1/2 C. FF half and half-2 points
1 scoop (1/3 C.) of powdered milk-1 point (and a whole milk serving)
2 t. creamer (the kind you would put in coffee)-0 points
1 1/2 T. chocolate syrup-1 point
1 t. cocoa-0 points
8 ice cubes
Right before I blended it I put about 1/4 C of water in it over the ice cubes.
It was pretty rich and thick and creamy. Give it a try!
Ideas from friends
I've received some good ideas through comments. I want to share in case you don't know about these ideas.

Laughing cow cheese. I'm not sure if you have mentioned these before but I love them one so many things. They come in a little triangles that are in a circle cardboard container. They are usually by the packaged meat by the deli. Well at walmart they are. Anyways one triangle is 1 pt and I put it on celery, my 1 pt bagels, sandwiches, and crackers. I seriously couldn't live without it.
The other thing is pumpkin muffins. These are so good especially with Fall coming. These muffins are 2 pts and you can make them 1 pt if you put a fiber cereal in them. the 2 pt recipe is
1 box of spice cake mix
1 can of pumpkin
1 cup of water.
Mix all ingreidents together. should make 24 muffins. Bake at 350 for 20- 25 min.

Clam Chowder - 2 points per cup
3 (10 3/4 ounce) cans 98% fat-free cream of celery soup
2 (6 1/2 ounce) cans chopped clams, not drained
1 (1 pound) bag frozen fat-free shredded hash brown potatoes
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 pint fat-free half-and-half
1 T. bacon bits (I buy the bag of real bacon bits)
put all ingredients in slow cooker and cook on low for 8-9 hours
Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup - 3 points per cup
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (3-4 depending on size)
1 (49 1/2 ounce) fat-free chicken broth
1 cup cut up carrots (cut quite small)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 small bay leaves or 1 large bay leaf
2 cups home-style egg noodles, uncooked (I use "Country Pasta" brand)
salt and pepper optional
Cut the chicken into small pieces and brown on stove
In slow cooker combine everything except the noodles. Cook for about 4 hours on high or 7-9 hours on low. About 30 minutes before you want to eat add the noodles. If you cooked it on low turn it to high before adding the noodles. Cook the noodles about 30 minutes (be careful not to over cook) then turn the slow cooker off and remove the bay leaves. Use salt and pepper to your taste.
1 point tortilla taco's
I've tried a few different 1 point tortilla's and the one that I like the best is La Banderita. They're the best flavor and texture that I've found. Too bad regular tortillas are 3 whole points because I LOVE them, but not enough to waste 6 points to make 2 small taco's.
Please share if you have found a 1 point tortilla you love!
I ALWAYS use ground turkey since Tom can't have beef. It has less calories and fat (even compared to the 10% ground beef). I'm totally used to it now and I'm even getting to the point where I prefer it over ground beef. I know, crazy! :)
Anyway, I fry it up, put 3 T. of taco seasoning and then about 3/4 C. of Pace Picante in it and let it simmer.
To make taco's I always change it up a bit.
This is what I did last time I made taco's (7 points)
tortilla (warmed)-1 point
2 or 3 oz. seasoned turkey meat-2 or 3 points
1/2 C. black beans (or kidney beans, pinto beans, or refried beans)-1 point
2 T. light sour cream-1 point
a good amount of diced tomato-0 points
1/3 C. WW fiesta cheese-2 points
lots of lettuce-0 points
salsa-0 points
If I'm doing it for lunch this is exactly what I would do. If I do it for dinner, since I allow more points for dinner, then I would make 2 taco's using 1/2 the cheese on each, 1/2 the beans on each and 2 oz. of meat PER taco. This would make both taco's worth 10 points total.
