Baked Pollock with Mashed Cauliflower--Points Plus Friendly!

Hello all! I just made a super-healthy dinner that tastes AMAZING and I just had to share it with all of you.
I am currently on Weight Watchers and following the Points Plus system. Veggies are 0 points so I try to load up on as much as I can. For those of you fellow WW members, this dinner is only 3 points!

Baked Pollock:
4 oz raw pollock (3 oz cooked)
Cajun seasoning
sea salt

Preheat oven to 425 and spray your baking dish with cooking spray.
Place fish into the pan, spray with a quick spray of cooking spray and sprinkle with sea salt and Cajun seasoning.
If you are baking your veggies with you fish place them around the edges or designate one side.
Bake for 25 minutes if frozen or 15minutes if thawed. It is done when it is flaky, but still moist.

Each cooked 3 oz fillet is 2 points!

Mashed Cauliflower:
Fresh cauliflower florets
sea salt
Best Life Buttery Spread
Parmesan

Steam the cauliflower until VERY tender. Pour the steamed cauliflower into a bowl, add 1 1/2 TBSP of margarine, a sprinkle of sea salt, and 1 TBSP of grated Parmesan. Mash with a potato/veggie masher until it is the consistency of mashed potatoes. You can add a little skim milk if want to make it a little creamier.
This makes 4 servings of mashed cauliflower, coming out to 1 Points Plus point per serving.

I told the kids the cauliflower was mashed potatoes and they said they were the best potatoes I have ever made!

Sorry for the picture...it was taken with my iPod. This looks MUCH more appetizing in person!

This meal was very filling and satisfying, but if you want to add to it you can pair it with a Progresso 1 point soup, and for dessert try my Healthier Apple Crisp, which comes out to about 3 points (or 1 point if you halve the flower and oats).

Happy eating!

Healthier Chicken Enchiladas

I have been making these chicken enchiladas for years. They are my go-to when company is coming. Unfortunately, the recipe I have been using is full of fat. I used to use an entire tub of sour cream, a can of cheese soup, and an entire bag of shredded cheese. It was yummy, but not heart or gall-bladder friendly. I have modified the recipe a bit to make it MUCH healthier with the same great taste.

Ingredients:
4-6 chicken breasts
2-5 oz cups of Oikos non-fat plain Greek yogurt.
1 can reduced-fat cheese soup
1 can red enchilada sauce
1 can diced green chilies
1 can sliced black olives--drained
1 avocado--sliced
1 C 2% cheddar cheese or blend
whole wheat tortillas

Obviously there are more ingredients than this :)

Cook chicken until no longer pink in the middle. Dice into 1 inch cubes and set aside.

I seasoned the chicken with cajun and garlic pepper.

Mix Greek yogurt, cheese soup, 1/4 C enchilada sauce, chilies, black olives, and avocado slices together.

Stir in chicken.

Spoon mixture into tortillas, sprinkle with cheese and roll them leaving the ends open.

Line up the rolled tortillas in your baking dish and cover with any remaining mixture.

Drizzle a little sauce over if desired.

Top with cheese and desired amount of enchilada sauce.

Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

These are fantastic! Even my picky husband liked them.

If you like things on the spicier side you can use medium or hot chilies and season the chicken with some chili powder.

Enjoy!

Crockpot Meat Sauce Remix

I had another "Throw a bunch of stuff into the crockpot and see what happens" night last night. I knew it was going to be delicious, or an epic failure. To my surprise it was fantastic and HEALTHY! I call it Meat Sauce Remix!

Ingredients:

1 pound lean ground beef

1 5.3 oz cup of Dannon Oikos greek yogurt-plain

1/3 cup chopped celery

1/3 cup chopped green peppers

+

1/4 cup kidney beans

1/4 garbanzo beans

1/4 cup chopped red peppers

1/2 italian cup green beans

1 sliced carrot

chopped up broccoli

(You could take the lazy route and use a fiesta blend of frozen veggies to save time).

1/2 jar spaghetti sauce

Place the ground beef at the bottom of your crock pot. If your ground beef isn't extra lean I would recommend browning it and draining the grease before placing it in the crockpot.

Top the beef with the entire cup of greek yogurt and pour your veggies on top.

Cook on LOW for 5 hours.

Pour the spaghetti sauce into the mix and stir. Cook on LOW for 1 more hour.

Serve over rice or noodles. I served mine over whole grain noodles.

Sorry for the awful picture. I remembered to take a pic half way through dinner.

If you have any leftovers you can put it on a hamburger bun for a super-healthy sloppy joe.

*If you have a bigger family or want more leftovers just double the recipe*

This meal was a hit with my family and I felt good knowing that I was giving them something really nutritious.

Let me know if you try this and what you served it over!

Happy cooking!
