Nan's English Muffin, Hummus, & Tomato Sandwich ( Ww )
"I started Weight Watchers again and wanted a filling breakfast or lunch. I made this up and love it so I thought I'd share. It's not really a recipe but a combo that is low in points. You could change the taste by adding spices like oregano, etc. on top for no points. The multigrain lite muffin from Thomas' is 1 point and it has 8 grams of fiber! It's so much healthier than what I usually eat! I am using the store bought Sabra brand garlic hummus from Costco and for 1 oz. (3 pts.) which is 2 tbsp. so I use only 1 for 1 1/2 pts. This is 2 1/2 points."

I don't think bread is diet food but I am not weight watching. I made this as a snack but used organic brown rice cakes instead of an English muffin to be gluten free, I know the muffin would taste better. I may have used more hummus. I used plum tomatoes, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. It was yummy! -
Yum, a lovely simple lunch for me today, thanks! -
Great quick lunch! Wonderful flavor and texture for such low points. Thanks for sharing the idea!

Wonderful! I made this today, but used sundried tomatoes instead of fresh. It was a perfect lunch! I was told once that you aren't supposed to calculate the fiber past 4, so doing that my muffin came out to be 1 point. I bought the Sabra hummus, but it wasn't from Costco and the point value was 1 point per tbl. and I used 2. The sundried tomatoes are packed in oil, I drained them and patted them dry on a paper towel and they were 2 points for 1/2 an ounce, which I used. So, my points came out to 5 which I thought was still good for the taste value. I buy the sundried tomatoes from costco and they are fabulous if you want to try it with them...but I warn you, you might not go back to the fresh tomato! Finding good healthy things that fit into the diet are really hard sometimes, so I am thankful that you posted this. I will be making it a lot! -
I love adding hummus to lots of things, and it gives so much flavor here. I found a hummus called Oasis brand that has fat free and the calorie count is very low, exp: anywhere from 11 calories for a black bean dip per 2 tabs to 22 or so calories per 2 tabs depending on which flavor. I think it is great. So I use two tablespoons here.I add an egg to this and even more veggies, mushroom, spinach etc. What ever is around. Good as written without egg too.

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
