Mini Quiche

Yum

Delectable, delicious, and delightful! That's the best way to describe these adorable mini quiches. A great little breakfast that we just had for supper! :) Make them to go; pop them into a little container and take them to work. Great for your family or double the recipe for company. Perfect for anytime of the day, this is definitely a recipe to keep on hand!


Ingredients:

- 1 tube of Pillsbury reduced-fat Crescent rolls (8 total in a tube)
- 4 oz. Philadelphia 1/3 less-fat cream cheese
- 1 egg
- 5 oz. chopped spinach (I bought a 10 oz. box of frozen chopped spinach and thawed it out, keeping half for another recipe)
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat mozzarella shredded cheese
- 2 slices of bacon, cooked until crisp
- 1/2 tsp. onion powder (or 1/2 chopped onion)
- seasonings to taste
- Pam cooking spray

Spray a cupcake/muffin pan with Pam cooking spray. Take the crescent rolls and (one triangle/crescent roll at a time) line the pan, inserting the widest part in the center and spreading the dough up on the sides of the muffin pan. You will have a little "tail" remaining from the smallest part of the roll. Scrunch some of that down into the muffin pan, leaving just a little bit hanging out. Cook bacon until crisp. Break bacon up into small pieces. In a mixer, combine cream cheese, egg, spinach, mozzarella, bacon, onion powder, and seasonings. Scoop mixture into the dough in the muffin pans, without overfilling. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Serve and enjoy! If you'd like a printer-friendly version of this recipe, Click Here.

Low-Point Twice-Baked Cheesy Potatoes

Yum
Who would have thought a delicious cheesy twice-baked potato would only be 2.8 points! What?! I guess good things come to those who bake ;) 

Low-Point Twice-Baked Cheesy Potatoes
Ingredients:
- 4, medium potatoes
- 1/4 cup light sour cream
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat four cheese blend shredded cheese
- 1 Tbs butter
- 2 Tbs milk (I used 1%)
- 3 slices of bacon
Pierce potatoes with a fork or knife. Put on microwaveable plate, cover, and microwave for 6 minutes. Turn potatoes over and microwave 3 or 4 more minutes or until potatoes are tender when poked with a fork or knife. Cut potatoes in half, lengthwise, making 8 total halves. Cool slightly. Cook bacon until crisp. Break up bacon into little pieces and set aside. Scoop out potatoes, leaving 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick wall (so the potato doesn't collapse). Mash the scooped potatoes with butter and milk. Add sour cream, cheese, and bacon and mix until well combined. Place potato shells in oven-safe baking dish. Scoop filling back into the potato shells and bake potatoes at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Season to taste and enjoy. If you'd like a printer-friendly version of this recipe, Click Here.

HELPFUL IDEA: This wonderful recipe goes very well with Target's Market Pantry brand Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings. I buy these in the frozen foods' section in a bag. They are one of my family's favorite things to eat and are only 2 points for 3 wings. A terrific idea for those who like easy ideas that require very little cooking time.

Low-Point Gnocchi and Sauce with Sesame Green Beans

Yum
It's hard to believe that you can have a delicious main entre' and side item that's three total points! This great recipe (similar to spaghetti with meat sauce) had even my husband fooled. The sauce, made with Boca Meatless Ground Crumbles, tasted just like ground beef when mixed with the spaghetti sauce. My husband was very surprised to hear it was made with this low-point healthy substitute. Add a side of very appetizing green beans with just the right amount of seasoning, and you'll want to make this low-point, zero-guilt, supper again and again!


Low-Point Gnocchi and Sauce with Sesame Green Beans
Ingredients:
- Pam Cooking Spray
- 1, 12 oz. package of frozen Boca Meatless Ground Crumbles, thawed
- 2 cups of Ragu (any flavor)
- 16 oz. Potato Gnocchi
- Parmesan cheese
Spray skillet with Pam cooking spray and cook Boca crumbles over medium-high heat for 12 minutes or until cooked thoroughly. Add Ragu and simmer until heated through. While at the same time, boil gnocchi for 8 to 10 minutes (until they're floating at the top of the water). Drain. Place 1/2 cup of gnocchi on plate and spoon 1/4 cup Ragu mixture on top. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
Serving size = 1/2 cup gnocchi with 1/4 cup sauce
Points per serving = 3


Sesame Green Beans
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. fresh green beans
- 3 tsp. sesame seeds (found in the spice section of the grocery store)
- 2 Tbs rice vinegar
- 2 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp. Splenda
- 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Boil green beans for about 8 minutes (or until crisp-tender). Meanwhile, in ungreased skillet, heat sesame seeds over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until they start to brown. Stir in remaining ingredients and heat through. The sauce evaporates quickly and the sesame seeds may appear to stick together but when you mix them with the drained hot green beans, the heat separates the seeds, making it easy to mix. One half to one cup = 0 points! If you'd like a printer-friendly version of these recipes, Click Here.

Low-Point Chicken Patty with Black Beans

Yum
I never realized how many people simply hate to cook until one of my friends told me they don't want to make anything on my blog because there's too many ingredients. Until now I had always assumed three or four ingredients (like in some of my recipes) made cooking pretty darn easy. So this is for all of you who can associate with my friend.

- Pam cooking spray with olive oil
Spray skillet with Pam cooking spray. Place chicken patty in skillet and cook on both sides for approximately 10 to 12 minutes total. Open can of Rotel and black beans. After you rinse the beans, mix the two together and heat up the mixture. Remove chicken patty and spoon black-bean mixture on top. Add a pinch of shredded cheese. Grill, saute', or heat some of your favorite fresh vegetables for your side dish. Supper's ready! If you'd like a printer-friendly version of this recipe, Click Here.
