This is the newest "it" program. I must say.....a common sense plan. It really boils down to healthy eating. Stuff we knew already. But when you see it in black & white it all makes more sense. Learn it....explore it...live it....breath it....embrace it...love it...LOSE WEIGHT! I am anxious to see how I do this week, because like I said, this really was what I was doing on the old plan. Just a few less points,that's what is worrying me. We will see Saturday.

Ingredients
2 spray(s) cooking spray, or enough to coat sheet
1 1/2 cup(s) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup(s) whole-grain wheat flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
2 tsp sugar
3 Tbsp reduced-calorie margarine, chilled, cut into small pieces

2 large egg white(s)

Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a metal baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
Combine first two flours, baking powder and sugar in a large bowl; cut in margarine with a pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse meal; stir in cheese and ham.
In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk and egg whites with a fork. Add milk mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until moist.
Place dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead 5 to 6 times. Place dough on baking sheet and pat into an 8-inch circle; cut dough into 8 wedges. Bake until slightly browned, about 20 minutes. (Note: For a bit more flavor, add garlic seasoning to taste to the dough.)
