Simple, easy and nutritious meal! I simply mix everything in the crockpot before bed and my family wakes up to a divine breakfast! Serves 8.

2 cups dry oats (preferably steel cut oats)
1 cup brown sugar
1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
2 cans evaporated milk
3.5 cups water

Spray the crock with nonstick spray. Now mix together in the crock the oats, brown sugar and cinnamon. Make sure there aren't any sugar lumps. Add the milk and water, and stir well.

Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Go to bed. When you wake up, yummies await! 
Stir well before serving.  About 10 points a serving! If you use fat free evaporated milk it will be down to 8 points! Have at it!

Easy and healthy are 2 things that matter to me. Busy mommies always want to feed their families healthy, nutritious food - while watching their waistline! Serves 4.

2 cups rice, cooked
1 can red kidney beans, drained
1 can chopped fire-roasted green chiles
2 cans salmon, drained
1 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 bell pepper, chopped, your choice color
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 tbsp parsley

Cook rice according to package directions. Set aside. Personally, I just use Minute Rice, but us what you prefer.

In a mixing bowl, throw together the red kidney beans, green chiles, salmon, cumin and red pepper flakes. Mix well.

Spray an oven-proof casserole dish with nonstick spray and spread the rice over the bottom. Now pour the bean mixture on top and even it out. Lay the chopped bell pepper on top, like so. 

In a bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese and parsley, and sprinkle over the red peppers. 
Cover top with an oven-proof lid or use foil to cover. Bake in a preheated 400F oven for about a half hour. And it is done.

About 9 points a serving! Healthy, tasty and yummy!
