    ooh ok what kind of fish sticks and how do you do the sweet potato fries? this sounds yummy!!!


    oh that was yesterday :smile: We had some bluewater seafood Lemon & herb fillets in the freezer. They are not quite fish sticks- they are very small fillets, breaded. they are like 220 cals for 2 but I think that's ok because of pairing them with lower cal sides :bigsmile:

    I just take a sweet potato, peel it and chop it into chunks. Then in a big bowl I pour about a tbls of EVOO and sprinkle some salt, pepper, and paprika... but you could use any spices you like really. Then i use my hands to dump the potato chunks in and mix them around. I spread the coated chunks onto a foil-covered baking sheet and bake em at 350 for about 10 mins, then shuffle em around, try to flip as many as you can and then put them back in for 10-15 mins, or until they are dry looking and beginning to brown.

    It's Friday and that's usually pizza night. But DH won't be home for dinner so I'm having Tortellini with Pumpkin Red Pepper Sauce, a salad and a glass of pinot noir.

    Pumpkin Red Pepper Sauce?! YUM!
    Is this homemade??

    It is homemade. It uses canned pumpkin and is super easy. I even add extra broth and use it for soup. Here is the recipe if you want to try it. I love the Barilla spinach & ricotta tortellini. For a dried tortellini the taste really good.

    Tortellini with Pumpkin Red Pepper Sauce
    1 cup chopped onion
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1 to 1-1/4 cups (1 large) chopped red bell pepper
    1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
    1-3/4 cups canned pumpkin puree (about 16 ounces)
    1-3/4 cups (14.5-oz. can) diced tomatoes with juice
    1-1/4 cups chicken broth
    1 teaspoon dried basil
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    2 (9-oz.) packages cheese tortellini, cooked, drained, kept warm
    Yield: 4 to 6 servings
    Prep/cook time: 20 minutes
    Saute onion, garlic and red bell pepper in butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Add pumpkin, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, basil, salt and pepper. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer over medium heat for at least 5 minutes. Taste for salt, adding more to taste if the chicken broth and tomatoes weren't very salty.
    Ladle sauce over cheese tortellini, well drained, in shallow soup bowls.

    Creamy Parmesan Citrus Salmon, Green beans and brown rice.

    I took a family favorite recipe normally made with mayonnaise, tones citrus grill, parmesan cheese and bread crumbs and substituted fat free yogurt and low fat sour cream for the mayo - then used less bread crumbs... it was a hit!
