Re: What's for dinner?

Well, since I have 26 points left, and it's family movie night w/ the kids, I'm going to have another one of those salads I had for lunch, cause I liked it, only this time w/ crispy chicken for 12 points and then will have a smart ones dessert for 4 and a Hormel Lasagna 90 second meal at 9:00 for 5 to end up at 39 for the night.

Re: What's for dinner?

Tammy,
I usually make oven fries with that when I have time.

Tobe,
What time is dinner? I'm on my way. LOL!

Tonight we're having something new. I picked up a packet of Italian Herb Chicken seasoning the other night. It's made for slow cooker's by McCormick. So I put chicken with potatoes, Italian stewed tomatoes, tomato paste and this packet together in the crockpot. It smells pretty good. I still need to figure out the points for it, but it shouldn't be bad at all. I'll post the recipe on my blog tonight or tomorrow if it's good.

Re: What's for dinner?

What is the recipe for the chicken cordon bleu, if you don't mind me asking? That sounds so good.

We had BBQ ribs in the crock - only 3 ounces for me. Everyone else had noodles with theirs. I had baked sweet potato with ICBINB spray and green beans. Oh, I had a smart ones cookie dough sundae for dessert. I live for those!!!

Re: What's for dinner?

Well, I didn't get to make that cola chicken last night so I made it tonight. Only I used a can of Diet DR Pepper berries and cream instead of cola and I added to capfuls of soy sauce to the mix. It was very yummy!
I also made a new recipe called pureed cauliflower. It was fantastic, by kids even liked it!
I also had a cup of homemade tabbouleh salad.
All of this for 8 points (I had 2 cups of the pureed cauliflower and counted it as 2 pts, cause for 1/2 cup it is zero pts.--it's a WW recipe)
I have 3 pts left for the day so I'll use them after I get the kitchen cleaned up and the kiddos to bed so I can sit and enjoy something sweet in peace!

Re: What's for dinner?

Mmmmm. Now I'm thinking about it...

My husband has chicken tenders soaking in a Caribbean Jerk Marinade. He made chicken breasts like that last week and they were so juicy and tender. Yummy.

Not sure what we'll have with it though. I was kind of thinking about picking up some corn on the cob.

with strips of red & green bell peppers, with onions sauteed in olive oil (2 pts for 1/2 TBLS oil)

The cheese melts on the warm chicken and peppers, yet the lettuce doesn't wilt. One of my faves!

Roasted Red Pepper Spread(0 pts for 1 T) with fresh veggies for dipping

Re: What's for dinner?

Hi Akus!

Is that Red Pepper Spread homemade? Got a recipe?

or if bought got a brand? I keep finding stuff like tht but has lots of oil.

Thanks

Jean Cat

Re: What's for dinner?

Roasted Red Pepper Spread.
1 (7 oz) jat roasted red peppers, drained and finely chopped
1/3 cup tub style light cream cheese
2 t minced bottled garlic
2 t white balsamic vinegar ( i used regular, not white)
1/4 t salt
1/4 t pepper

Combine all ingredients, stirring well. Serve with breadsticks,Melba toast,or celery sticks.

1 cup
Serving size 1 T- 0 points


JeanCat, this is not like hummus, its not smooth,sorta chunky, i think that's why the suggest the things to serve it with. I did use it with some All Bran Crackers and later spread it over a low carb tortilla, that tasted good.Not sure if it tasted better cause it had sat and all the flavors blended together.

Re: What's for dinner?

Akus this Sounds yummy!
But I have to say I have only seen the roasted peppers in an oil base. Is this what you use and then drain? or is ther a water//vinegar base out there with less points?

Wonderful suggestion on celery or cucumber rounds for less points!

Can be spruced up with seasonings that are salt free! But I am sure it is great just the way it is!

Yum...

JeanCat

Re: What's for dinner?

They are not oiled-based thats for sure, i get mine where they sell the pickles and relishes in the store. But if all you can find is oil-based, drain em and run them under water.

Roasted Red Pepper Spread.

That sounds so great especially the spreading on WW tortilla (whole wheat). Recipe noted. THANKS

Re: What's for dinner?

Thanks Akus I will look for it.

I have used ortega diced green chiles and FF cream chese. But for some reason it does not like to mix well. So I have spread the cheese then topped what ever wwith the chiles. I am thinking of using my Bullet to mix.

Got any other spreads?
You are a wealth of info Akus!

Re: What's for dinner?

Grilled Halibut
Greek Vegetable Salad
Coleslaw..


Sometimes i even amaze myself, i enjoyed every bite, the Halibut was awesome, all i used was ICBINB and some fresh lemon.
The Greek Veggie salad had cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, romaine lettuce,feta cheese and kalamata olives with ff balsamic vinaigrette.
The coleslaw was just some mayo mixed with some red wine vinegar to give it that little zip.


It just all tasted soooooooooooooooo good.

Re: What's for dinner?

I LOVE making salmon spread! I use the FF Cream Cheese for this. Been putting it on Light Thomas Eng muffins since Feb.

All of your recipes sound delish.

I LOVE cooked salmon! I place it on a pam coated fry pan and sprinkle dill and 21 Salute (no salt seasoning) with garlic powder.about 3 - 5 minutes per side, use the pan like a grill.

I am going to try to make my own hummus. Will be in touch on that.

Thanks again!

I am on my way to Trader Joes for some fresh egg plant! A drizzel of EVOO herbs, garlic and marinade in a jar for about aa week. Then grind it up and use as a spread is much like the OLD World Italian spreads of yesterday. I am in process of converting many of my mom and dad's old recipes to WW friendly ones. I shared the marinated mushrooms already. Will post as I go along.
