A couple of recipes..

I've had a few people request some low point/healthy recipes, so here's a couple. For some more, check out my old site!

Sweet n Sour Chicken (not my recipe, but a delicious and quick meal the kids will love!)

3 chicken breasts
1 cup ketchup
1 can diet Coke

Place chicken in a non stick skillet. Add diet Coke and ketchup, mix. Bring to a boil, then reduce to med-low heat. Cook until chicken is cooked, and sauce thickens. (30 mins, depending on thickness of chicken)

Serve with 1/2 cup brown rice and veggie or salad, and you have a very filling and yummy 6 point supper! Even my very fussy daughter loves this one!


Winter Comfort - Miso Soup

Easy - just make sure you have the ingredients on hand!

1 block firm or extra firm tofu
2 boxes fat free, reduced sodium chicken stock
1 tbsp miso paste (soybean paste - check the asian foods isle)
3 green onions, chopped
1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced (optional)
1/2 tbsp soy sauce

Heat chicken stock in large sauce pan, bring to a boil then reduce to medium heat.
Add miso paste and soy sauce. Be careful NOT to bring soup to a boil after you add the miso.
Add mushrooms
10 minutes before serving, add tofu.
1 minutes before serving, add green onions.

Served with an egg-white salad sandwich for a meal, or on it's own for a lighter lunch, this 2 point soup (for 1.5 cups!) is one of my winter favourites... but does have me craving sushi!


Egg-white Salad Sandwich
6 eggs, hard boiled, yolks removed (or add 1 or 2, but be sure to add 2 points for each yolk you add)
1/4 cup ff miracle whip
1/4 tsp mustard (dijon, if you like it)
salt & pepper
2 green onions, chopped
1/4 cup shredded low fat cheddar cheese, loose - not packed

Shred egg whites with a grater, into a medium bowl.
Add green onions and cheese, toss gently.
Add miracle whip, mustard, salt & pepper. Stir.

Serve on 2 slices of whole wheat weight watcher's bread (toasted). Makes 2 good sized servings (if no yolks) With ww WW bread, total points per NO YOLK serving: 2 Seriously. The total for this is 3 points, plus 2 slices of bread for 1 point!

I'll be sure to post some more easy and tasty ideas.
