BBQ Beef Cups

For dinner tonight I made something that tasted quite nice ALTHOUGH it was little spicy for me:) But that was my husband's fault (it is easier to blame him than to take the blame myself:)! He bought Texas Style BBQ sauce instead of regular....good thing he is cute:) Here are the details:

Ingredients:
14 oz of lean (96/4) ground beef
1 small onion diced
2/3 cup of BBQ sauce ( I try to use anything less than 45 calories:) 
Pillsbury Reduced Fat Crescent Rolls

 Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees 
2. Brown the meat and diced onion 
3. Roll out the crescent roll dough and pinch together the precut  dough into 12 squares In a muffin pan place each square into a cup size mold,
4. Evenly divde the meat up into the 12 squres (it came out to 1 1/2 TBSP per cup.  
5. Bake in oven for 16 minutes or until bread it golden brown! 

 1 BBQ beef cup= 3 PP

I had 3:) 

My dinner was complete with mashed potatoes and green beans! I was very full and satisfied. This will def. be a meal during the summer time pool BBQs! Can't wait!

HG's Alternate Ultimate Omelette

Today we woke up extra early (for Sunday) and headed to church and helped my generous father make breakfast for the church.  We made taquitos and fruit. I had every intention of eating the taquitos and the fruit (and tracking them:) But after running around, burning my hands and only having 3 minutes to get to our seats, I thought I would wait and cook this omelet recipe I saw on Hungry Girl this week- check it out here!


Ingredients: 


Filling
1 frozen meatless or turkey sausage patty with 80 calories or less (like the kind by Morningstar Farms or Jimmy Dean)
2/3 cup of Jimmy Dean crumbles
1 slice center-cut bacon or turkey bacon
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup diced onion
1/4 cup diced bell pepper
1/4 cup diced tomato

Omelette
3/4 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
3 tbsp. shredded fat-free cheddar cheese


Instructions: 


Prepare sausage patty and bacon in a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray or on a microwave-safe plate in the microwave. (Refer to packages for cook times and temperatures.) Chop or crumble and set aside in a bowl.

Bring a medium skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and pepper. Cook and stir until softened, 3 - 5 minutes. Transfer veggies to the bowl with sausage and bacon. Add tomato, stir, and set aside.

If needed, wash and dry skillet. Remove from heat, re-spray, and bring to medium heat. Add egg substitute and let it coat the skillet bottom. Cover and cook until solid enough to flip, about 3 minutes.

Flip egg and top one half with filling. Sprinkle filling with cheese. Cover skillet and cook until cheese melts, about 1 minute.

Fold egg over filling and transfer to a plate. 


I didn't take a picture because it was 12:30, I hadn't eaten anything and was kinda hungry! This was my first omelet to ever make and it didn't quite "look" like an omelet but it TASTED FANTASTIC!! There was SOOOOO MUCH FOOD! It kept me satisfied until 5:00 and that was after 1 work out and a 3 mile walk with my mom!! I will def. be making this more often!!

Chicken Enchilada Casserole

This weekend was full of 2 yummy dinners and 1 delicious breakfast! It is amazing how awesome these meals were and amazing low in points plus values. So let's begin: Saturday night I cooked a delightful dinner that I must admit I was a little weary when I started making it. SO my best advice is to cook it with skepticism and then when you are done, smile and think: WOW THIS WAS GREAT!!




Ingredients:

One 9.75oz. (or 10oz.) can 98% fat-free chunk white chicken based in water, drained and flaked

11 1/5 oz. of chicken breast, cooked and cut into chunks:) 

One 10.75oz. can 98% fat-free cream of celery condensed soup 

2/3 cup frozen bite-sized mixed veggies

1/2 cup salsa Six 6-inch corn tortillas 

1 cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese, divided 

Optional: salt and black pepper

Instructions: 

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
2.  In a large bowl, combine chicken, soup, veggies, and salsa. If you like, add salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside. 
3. Spray a baking disk with nonstick spray. 
4. Break tortillas in pieces about the size of tortilla chips. Lay half of the tortilla pieces along the bottom of the cooking dish.
5. Evenly layer half of the chicken mixture over the tortilla pieces. 
6. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese. Lay remaining tortilla pieces over the cheese. Top evenly with the rest of the chicken mixture, followed by the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake in the oven for 35 minutes, or until edges are brown and crispy. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes, until sauce thickens.
7.  Eat up! Makes 4 servings.

1 VERY LARGE piece = 7 PP

This is kinda messy but I was hungry and digging in:) 
Happy Eating!

Boob Tube Babble!

I am linking up with Neely  and Ashley today for BoobTube Babble! I really like this "linking" thing as I got 4 new followers yesterday (WELCOME!) and loved the comments! It really makes blogging fun:) AND this linking helps me come up with creative new topics instead of talking about FOOD, FOOD, FOOD all the time:) I think this topic is right up my ally because I LOVE LOVE LOVE TV! I literally could spend all day watching tv...thanks to my mother wouldn't wouldn't quite let us lay around all day watching tv when I was younger, I don't quite mind doing it now! (seriously THANK YOU MOTHER...who knows what type of obese person I would have become:)

So here is goes:

My regular shows are coming back this week however, I was disappointed that my Thursday night line up was ALL RERUNS!! Return from vacation already...jeez!

Kim and Kourtney: This is my guilty pleasure!  I felt pretty bothered by the way Kim reacted to Kris wanting to know if Jonathan was gay. While it was obvious the boy was just being NOSEY, Kim clearly choose her friend over her husband which kinda pissed me off. She didn't need to make such a big deal about him wanting to know. On the same note, Kris could have asked Jonathan PRIVATELY and not with a bunch of cameras pointing on them...so I get why he was pissed! I have been thinking about this all week and have decided that both sides had the right to be offended...EITHER WAY it obvisouly made for good tv bc it is FRIDAY and I just wrote a paragraph talking about it!


The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: it picked up at the party where Taylor and Russell were not let in...I mean how embarrassing!   But their trip to Hawarii made me JEALOUS!!!  Jealous of the rooms, of their bodies and just the fact that they are a train wreck of FABULOUSITY!! My husband used to watch this with me bc he could stand it but now it is something he will watch if there is nothing else on the DVR:) Can't wait for next week!

Last Man Standing: I am a sucker for traditional sitcom and I love Time Allen so naturally I love this show. My husband thought that guest this week was Ryan Gossling! I thought he was nuts until I was telling my mom this and apparently she thought the same thing! What do you think?

Work It: This is a new show on ABC and I didn't have much for hope for it. Both my mom and husband  had made comments on how it would be stupid but it was actually pretty funny! I literally LOL! BUT i am a BIG FAN of traditional sitcoms. I can't wait to see if it sticks around! I li

Modern Family: LOVE THIS SHOW and so glad it is back. I kinda love Clair and Phil and have this slight feeling my husband and I are morphing into this duo (minus their comedic genius!) If you don't like this show I don't know if we can be friends

The Middle: This is me second season watching this show, and it is great and HILAROUS! I thought it was a great idea for the family to write out each other's resolution and they must stick to it! How fabulous is that!!

Revenge: have not watched the latest episode but according Facebook status on WEdnesday the episode is gooooood!

Parenthood: It is waiting to be watched on DVR!!! Can't wait and so happy it is back!

No new shows on Thursday...I don't think!

Dear NBC: Please bring back a new Parks and Rec, Office, Whitney, 30 Rock, Up All Night....it is ok if you cancel Community ...I am kinda over it...sincerly, Christie:)

Also, when is Cougar Town going to come back ?!?!!?n!

 I am sure I missed some shows but these stood out the most this week...basically bc they ROCK! I know it seems I watched ALOT of TV and I do but I do have a life outside of TV world:)

Happy Friday!!
