Hey Ladies!
Let's help each other out and post some of our favorite recipes! Here's one I learned from the boards and it's become one of our favorites! :)

Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken

Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup salsa
1 package reduced sodium taco seasoning
1 can reduced fat cream of mushroom soup (condensed)
1/2 cup reduced fat sour cream

Directions:
Add chicken to slow cooker.
Sprinkle taco seasoning over chicken.
Pour salsa and soup over chicken.
Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
Remove from heat and stir in sour cream.
Serve with rice.


When we make it we use the Great Value Tex Mex Canned Tomatoes instead of salsa and put dry instant rice inside the crock about 30 minutes before we eat (about 2 1/2 cups). We don't bother with the sour cream. We divide the whole pot in half after giving my son a 1/2 cup portion (he's a light eater! :) and supper tonight was 682 calories including 3.8oz. of chicken and it makes a LOT!!

Ok...your turn! :)

    That sounds great!! I think I will make that one night this week :):)

    Ok, just discovered a great snack!! I am not a pepperoni fan, but I did give this a try. Was trying to find something to help satisfy my hubby's snacky tooth since he is doing South Beach with me. It is REALLY good!!

    Pepperoni chips

    Turkey pepperoni
    1 wedge of Laughing Cow cheese

    Nuke pepperoni until crispy (lay flat on plate, about 45 secs to 1 min, depending on how crispy you want it)
    Dip in cheese....

    Yumms!

    Found this one on the boards too:

    Devil's Food Pumpkin Cake

    1 box Devil's Food Cake Mix,
    1 can 100% Pure Pumpkin (15 oz Can)
    Coffee - Brewed from grounds, 1 cup (8 fl oz)

    Mix all together and bake according to cake mix directions. Just a yummy moist chocolate cake. We topped it with some whipped cream and it didn't add much.

    1/16 of plain cake: 129 calories and 2 grams of fat! :)

    This is a big hit for bbq and parties!

    Caramel Apple Salad
    POINTS® Value: 2 Servings: 10 (½ cup each)

    Ingredients
    4 small apple(s), cored & diced
    20 oz can crushed pineapple in juice
    2 small boxes SF/FF butterscotch Jell-O pudding
    8 oz Cool Whip Fat Free Whipped Topping

    Instructions
    Core, slice and dice apples (leave peel on). Add un-drained pineapple, apples & pudding into a large mixing bowl. Mix well - making sure all dry pudding mix is gone. Add whipped topping and mix well.
    Makes Ten (10) 1/2-cup servings. (I measured it out)
    Note: There was a rumor that this was 1 point per ½ cup, but I ran it through Recipe Builder on E-Tools and it comes up as 2. I tried it with 1 box of pudding and 2 boxes. I tried it with ½ a tub of Cool Whip & an entire tub of Cool Whip. Still 2 pts. Sorry to burst any bubbles.
