What's to Eat Wednesday

So glad today is Wednesday because yesterday was sooooo stressful!  I promise to keep my Shades Mountain group up to date on a new location as soon as I know!! It was sad removing the products and cabinets last night. But since today is Wednesday let's cook up something to eat!  This is the Bake Ziti recipe I mentioned a few weeks ago in the meeting room.  It comes from Cooking Light and my ww calculator reports it is 8 pp for a 1 1/2 cup serving.  Serve with a side salad and you are good to go!

4 oz uncooked ziti

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cups chopped yellow squash

1 cup chopped zucchini

3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
