Snapper Fish Burrito’s

Leave a reply

Spice up your friday fish night by making these great low fat fish burrito’s (1 burrito and side salad is 5 ww points).

  • .5 lb Snapper (or any white fish) skin removed
  • A little under a ¼ cup of green cabbage
  • A little under a ¼ cup chopped white onion
  • A little under a ¼ cup chopped english cucumber
  • 1.5 tablespoons of lime juice
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • A low sodium and low calorie salsa
  • A few bits of chopped pineapple (optional)
  • Weight Watcher’s tortilla ( I had one and my husband had 2)
Directions:

Make the cabbage slaw:  Thinly slice the cabbage, add onion and cucumber; squeeze juice of 1 lime over the top and toss; add salt and pepper to taste; let sit for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Heat a non-stick baking pan over medium heat, add a tiny bit of olive oil if needed. I used my stone wear dish and did not need to use oil.  Add Snapper and brown on one side, turn snapper over and put pan in the oven for about 10-15 minutes until snapper is flakey and cooked through.  Flake cooked halibut into a bowl and serve with warmed weight watchers tortillas, cabbage slaw, pineapple bits and salsa.
Since I only made on burrito and used only half the fish I made a side burrito salad with out the tortilla.

Tuna Tartlet Casserole

Leave a reply

Here’s another great easy recipe using bread as a crust. The best part 3.5 WW points for two tartlets. For this recipe you will need the following:

  • A greased muffin pan
  • A Rolling Pin
  • An oven set to 375 degrees
  • A quarter cup of canned tuna (I only buy the canned tuna in water)
  • 1 tablespoon of steamed onion (place chopped onion with a bit of water in a small bowl and cook in microwave for 30-45 second)
  • 1 Laughing Cow Cheese Wedge (the low fat one. It’s in a light blue packaging)
  • 2 slices of weight watchers bread (I used the one that is 1 point for 2 slices according to the old points system)
  • One egg white
  • A dash of Pepper or any other spice you like (no salt unless you really need it

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. While the oven is warming grab your slices of bread and roll them out with a rolling pin just to flatten. Creatively place these is a well greased muffin pan so it forms a cute little cup. Don’t worry it will not be perfect and you will have a fold or two. Grab a small bowl and add your egg white, onion, tuna, and spices. Stir. Grab your laughing cow cheese and cut into small pieces. Add to you egg mixture and give it one last stir.  Pour the mixture into your bread cups (half in each cup) and place in the over for about 20 – 25 mins. Once cooked pull from oven and carefully removed from muffin tins. Place on a plate, serve and enjoy. These would go well with any side dish like soup or a salad. I was craving apples and carrots so those were my sides.

3 Musketeer Chocolate Bars – Homemade

Leave a reply

OMG!! A guilt free chocolate bar recipe for all the chocolate lovers out there. I found this one on the net and decided to give it a go. I am super happy I did. This is an amazing recipe and so super easy to make. All you need are three ingredients, chocolate chips, cool whip and chocolate wafers. For the full recipe please click here - 3 Musketeer Chocolate Bars. There was one change I made to the recipe. It did not specify if the cool whip was low fat or not so I used the low fat tub; also to note 8oz = 3 cups of cool whip. OH and did I mention that one of these is 1 weight watcher point. Happy days are here again, I hope you enjoy these as much as we did.

Egg Muffin Omelet

Leave a reply

Ok so sometimes I see a picture of a dish and it inspires me to create a healthier version of it. Here is a simple dish and if followed correctly will provide you with 3 WW points of happiness. The image above is my Egg Muffin Omelet. Here’s what you will need:

  • A greased muffin pan  (I greased the pans with low fat becel margarine the one in the blue packaging)
  • A Rolling Pin
  • An oven set to 375 degrees
  • 2 Egg Whites (for my Hubby I made his with one whole egg)
  • 1 Green Onion
  • 1 slice of low fat turkey bacon (I get the blue menu package from superstore)
  • 1 Laughing Cow Cheese Wedge (the low fat one. It’s in a light blue packaging)
  • 1 slice of weight watchers bread (I used the one that is 1 point for 2 slices according to the old points system)
  • A dash of Pepper (My husband got a dash of chili flakes to spice his up)

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. While the oven is warming grab your slices of bread and roll them out with a rolling pin just to flatten. Creatively place these is a well greased muffin pan so it forms a cute little cup. Don’t worry it will not be perfect and you will have a fold or two. Grab a small bowl and add your egg whites, green onion, turkey bacon sliced into little pieces, pepper and any other spices you wish to add. Stir. Grab your laughing cow cheese and cut into small pieces. Add to you egg mixture. One last stir of the egg mixture and pour into your bread cups and place in the over for about 20 – 25 mins. Once cooked pull from oven and carefully removed from muffin tins. Place on a plate, serve and enjoy.

NOTES: This was my first time baking these and they exploded as you can tell from the pictures. You could easily use two slices of bread and fill them half way up so the egg does not spill over as ours did. If you add that extra bread slice just make sure you count the points. The bread I use would only add an extra half point so no big deal. Below is a picture of my Hubby’s Egg Muffin Omelet (5 WW points) Full Egg and different cheese. 

Butternut Squash Crispy Fries

1 Reply

I love fries but I haven’t touch them since I changed my eating habits (maybe I steal one from the hubby now and then as a treat). Here’s a great alternative to fries: Sweet Potato Fries 

If you want to make them slightly healthier, here are the changes I made to the recipe. I used half a Butternut Squash. I used less oil like half a table spoon. I baked them at 425 on one side for 20 mins then flipped them to the other side for another 20 mins. I guesstimate these are around 2-3 ww points. Butternut Squash is 0 points for a cup so I account for the oil and starch coding. I also sprinkled a bit of Miss Dash Garlic and Herb seasoning with a few sprinkles of corse sea salt. Don’t mind the picture I ate a few before I took the snap shot, I just couldn’t resist.

Chicken Fajita Pita

Leave a reply

Here’s another Hungry Girl inspired meal. Extremely easy to make and again the kids and hubby will love it. Once again I was lucky enough to find this recipe on the web. Please click here for the recipe. I say inspired because I had an extra ounce of chicken I had to account for and I topped it with a tablespoon of low fat cheese. The total point value for the picture above (and below) is 5 points. The recipe, if followed to the letter is 3 WW points. My husband loved it so much he made me mark it as a definite meal to make again. If you’re into the cook books, this recipe can be found in the Hungry Girls’s 200 under 200 cookbook. There was so much food I could not stuff it all in my pita so I deconstructed it to eat it. My hubby on the other hand stuffed what he could in the pita and used the rest as a side dish. Enjoy my foodie followers.

Vegetarian Chicken Spaghetti

In a hurry? Here is a quick easy meal to enjoy for either lunch or dinner.

  • 1 Yves Meatless Chicken Burger cut in to cubes
  • 1 Package of Shirataki Tofu noodles
  • .5 cup of light tomatoe soup
  • Any additional spices like pepper, basil, Italian seasoning (no salt) etc.
  • A sprinkle of low fat cheese (about a tablespoon)

Drain and rinse noodles with cold water. Place noodles in a pre heated pan on medium heat to remove some moisture from the noodles. Add the chicken burger and cook with noodles for about 2 mins until heated. Then add your tomoato soup and any additional spices you wish. Sprinkle a little bit of low fat cheese and serve. Total WW Points 4.

NOTE: I always keep a pack of Yves meatless chicken or beef burgers in my freezer. I also have a few packs of the Shirataki noodles on hand just in case.

Low Fat Chocolate Pudding

Leave a reply

There are days where I will crave chocolate. Instead of running to the nearest corner store to buy a chocolate bar I run to my pantry and grab a low fat chocolate pudding cup. I add some fat free cool whip (which is amazing), top it with a few tiny chocolate chips, a few shreds of coconut and add a low fat graham cracker. The total damage for this snack is 3 ww points. Compared to the average chocolate bar of 5 to 6 points this is definitely a heavenly chocolate treat. I also sometimes make low fat sugar free chocolate pudding with low fat milk (half a cup is 1 point). I hope you enjoy this treat as much as I do.
