Mexican Chicken Soup

1 lb chicken breast- cooked and cut up into bite size pieces
1/2 lb velveeta cheese
1/2 lb mexican velveeta cheese (if I can not find this in the store, I just up the regular velveeta up to 1 lb and add a jar of salsa to the mix)
1 can corn
1 can mixed vegetables
1 can vegetable soup (no noodles)
1 can cream of potato soup
1/2 cup rice (uncooked)
1 tsp garlic


Put all in a large pot and cook cook for an hour or until bubbly and thick....stirring occaisionally.

This makes a huge amount....if you break it into 12 servings I came up with 4 points. that seems quite low to me...but hey, that's what I got (that was using the lower fat velveeta...and i noticed no difference in the taste of the soup)

Jello Cake

1 box cake mix
1 package jello
1 8 ounce container of cool whip (I use fat free)
1 can diet soda (any flavor)

Mix cake mix and can of diet soda together until blended. Bake as directed on the box. Cool completely. When the cake is cool, poke holes in the cake all over. Follow the directions to make jello, pour the jello mixture over the cake. Refridgerate for a couple hours. Ice the cake with the cool whip.

The fat content of this cake will vary with the cake mix and with how thick you layer on the cool whip. :-)
