Chicken Marsala

This is a lovely chicken dish, that you can serve for dinner and no one will know that it's Weight Watchers, so that whole family can sit down and enjoy a dinner that is good for them. I served this with peas that I stewed with a small amount of onion and chicken stock, and mashed potatoes that I made using low fat canola spread, and skimmed milk.

 

Ingredients:
880gms Lean Skinless Chicken Breast
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon low fat canola spread
1 large onion, sliced
1 tablespoon Plain/All purpose flour
250mls Marsala Wine
1 cup Chicken stock
1 tablespoons fresh rosemary chopped.

Meat Pie

This is a very delicious and not to mention healthy alternative to the classic fat laden meat pie! It's quick and easy to make and boy does it taste oh so good!

This makes 4 Servings and each serve has 7 Pro-points. 

Ingredients:
1 large Onion sliced
400g lean beef mince
1 cup of Beef Stock*
2 tablespoons Oyster Sauce
2 tablespoons Cornflour
8 Sheets of Filo Pastry**

*I usually use chicken stock when making this recipe
 ** The original recipe called for low fat puff pasty but I reduced the pro-points/points plus even further by making this with filo pastry instead. 

Banana and Cinnamon Smoothie

This is a simple and delicious on the go breakfast. I have a blender that makes single servings, so in the mornings or when I need something that will satisfy me for hours I make this. It tastes great and really fills you up, best of all it's only 2 pro-points per serving!

Ingredients:
1 Banana, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup Skim Milk
1/2 cup low fat Vanilla Yoghurt*
1/4 teaspoon ground Cinnamon

*I use low fat unflavored yoghurt

Spinich and Cheese Pie

This is a delicious and light meal idea!!! It was easy, very tasty and best of all it was HUGE slice. The addition of lots of filling and healthy foods means that this is a very satisfying meal, that tastes great. 

A slice is only 7 pro-points (points plus) and the dish makes 4 servings. 

Ingredients:
300gms of frozen spinich
1 large Onion sliced
2 Garlic Cloves (crushed)
75gms Fetta Cheese
100gms 97% fat free Cottage Cheese
4 Medium Eggs*
8 Sheets of uncooked Filo Pastry
1/2 tablespoon Olive Oil
Canola Cooking Spray

*I used 3 Extra Large (700g) eggs. 

Little Passionfruit Cakes

These are a great low pro-point sweet treat to have with a cup of tea, or serve as an after dinner dessert. They are easy to make and taste amazing! I served them after dinner to some non Weight Watcher friends and they couldn't believe how nice they were. 

 

 

If you make them in a standard cupcake size they are 4 pro-points (points plus) per serve, if you make them in a mini cupcake tray they are only 2 pro-points (points plus)

Ingredients:
75gms Low-fat Canola Spread
110gms Castor Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 Egg
200gms Self-Raising Flour
1/2 cup Butter Milk*
80gms Apple Puree
1/4 cup Passionfruit Pulp
1 tablespoon Icing Sugar for dusting**.

* Alternatively 1/2 cup Skim milk (minus 1/2 tablespoon) and mix in 1/2 tablespoon white vinegar.
** Optional

Ingredients:
30gms dry Rolled oats
90mls Unsweetened apple juice
120gms Yoghurt (any kind - I used blueberry flavoured)
1 small Apple peeled and grated.

Sunflower Seeds & Fresh blueberries to serve* Optional

Hope to see you back here soon!!

Delicious.
