Healthy Recipes
Here are my favorite low-point food ideas:
Pamm's Chicken & Pasta
1 cup cooked Wacky Mac (vegetable pasta)
1/2 piece boneless, skinless chicken
Lemon juice and seasonings, to taste
Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Fry chicken pieces in a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice mixed with a teaspoon of onion powder and a teaspoon of garlic salt, until brown.
In a bowl, put one cup of cooked, hot pasta and spray with spray butter. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, if desired. Gently mix the chicken with the pasta. Points: Pasta-3 points; chicken-2; Total = 5 points.
Homemade Chicken Fingers
2 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
2 Tablespoons packaged Mesquite seasoning
Cut each chicken breast into 4 or 5 strips. Place the pieces in a bowl and sprinkle the seasoning on the chicken. Mix to coat all pieces. Place in baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Makes 2 servings; 3 points per serving.
Potato & Yam Fries
2 med. potatoes, washed and cut into 8 wedges
2 cups yam, peeled & cut into wedges about the same size as the potatoes
1 egg white, lightly beaten
1/2 tsp. seasoning salt
Put all ingredients in a large plastic bag. Shake well to coat all wedges with seasoning and egg white. Discard the bag and excess seasoning.
Place potates and yams in a large roasting pan coated with cooking spray. Bake for 40 min. at 350 dgerees, stirring every 10 minutes. Bake for an extra 10 to 15 min. if you want your fries extra crispy. Makes 2 servings; 4 points per serving.
Cheesy Chips
10 small wonton wrappers
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
Diagonally cut each wonton wrapper in half, forming two triangles. Place in single layer on prepared baking sheet.
Combine cheese, oil and garlic powder in small bowl. Sprinkle over wonton triangles.
Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Remove from oven. Cool completely. Makes 4 servings--2 points per serving.
Mock Ice Cream Sandwich
This is not healthy, but keeps me from seeking other high-point sweets.
1 box chocolate graham crackers
1 - 8 oz. container lite Cool Whip
Break a graham cracker into two squares. Squish a tablespoon of Cool Whip between the two squares. Repeat. Individually wrap in plastic wrap and freeze. These are one point each! YUM!
