    Herb Crusted baked Cod

    Serves 4
    Ingredients
    3/4 cup herb-flavored stuffing
    4 cod fillets, each 4 ounces
    1/4 cup honey


    Directions
    Preheat the oven to 375 F. Lightly coat a 9-by-13 inch baking pan with cooking spray.

    Place stuffing in a sealed bag. Crush until it has a crumb texture.

    Brush the fillets with honey. Discard any remaining honey. Place a fillet in the bag of stuffing. Shake the bag gently to coat the cod evenly. Place the fillet on the baking dish and repeat with the remaining fillets.

    Bake until the fish is opaque throughout when tested with the tip of a knife, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

    Okay, so for all those people who care about their health, beyond merely calorie counting and scale watching...this thread is for you. My goal is to create a compilation of tasty but healthy recipes. The calories counts might be high, low, or somewhere in between. But we're talking REAL FOOD for REAL APPETITES!

    I'LL START WITH THE FIRST RECIPE! :) ENJOY!!

    PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE

    Cooking spray
    1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 4 cookie sheets)
    1/4 cup granulated sugar
    1/4 cup packed brown sugar
    1 (8-ounce) block 1/3-less-fat cream cheese
    1/2 cup canned pumpkin
    1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
    1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 large egg
    Preparation

    Preheat oven to 325°.
    Coat a pan with cooking spray, and sprinkle pan evenly with crumbs.
    Combine sugars and cream cheeses in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Add other ingredients and mix well.
    Pour cheese mixture into prepared pan. Bake at 325° for 35 minutes or until center is just set. Turn oven off, and partially open oven door. Cool cheesecake in oven 1 hour.
    Remove cheesecake from oven, and cover. Chill at least 8 hours or overnight.
