These cookies are a tasty treat, we loved them so much I turned out two batches of these in one week. The WW recipe is 3 points per cookie for those who track their meals, and 107 calories with just 7g total carbs. The recipe calls for 1-cup of powdered peanut butter, but I used extra crunchy peanut butter and they came out perfectly.
We had some extra oats on hand in our pantry and decided to find some recipes to use them up, and this one was a great way to use up the quick cooking oats.

Chili-Rubbed Pork Chops with Baked Beans and Thai Slaw
I used my Finger Lickin’ Rub spice blend in place of the ingredients called for in the recipe because many of the same ingredients make up both. I served these with a side of WW Baked Beans and some Thai Slaw. Check back tomorrow for the baked beans recipe.
I used thick-cut bone-in pork chops, and they were just as good it not better than the boneless center-cut chops the recipe calls for, not much difference in protein or fat content, but more flavorful with the bone-in juices adding to the pork meat.

The Thai slaw can be made ahead, in fact, it’s much better if made the day before you serve it as a bed for the salmon. We used Napa cabbage as a substitute for the Savoy cabbage, and it worked out just fine.
Searing skin-on salmon in non-stick pan
Once you’re ready to serve the meal, just lightly salt the salmon and sear the skin side down first in a medium-hot skillet until the skin is crispy, about 5 minutes. Then flip the salmon over and finish cooking for just 2 minutes or so for a medium cook. If you like your salmon well done, then keep it in the pan for another 3-4 minutes.
