2 Recipes - Crockpot Chicken and Holiday Eggnog

I tried out a couple of recipes tonight - hope you like them! I could use a better food photographer, but you get the idea... I hope.

Crockpot Chicken

6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
juice of 1/2 a lemon, mixed with a dash each of salt, pepper, paprika, and celery salt
1/2 can 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup
1/2 can 98% fat free cream of celery soup
1 large can mushrooms
1/4 c. dry white wine
whole wheat eggless noodles

Place chicken in a crockpot, mix all remaining ingredients except the noodles and pour over the chicken. Turn the chicken in the sauce til well-coated. Cook on low for 8 hours.
15 minutes before eating, cook noodles as directed on the package.

1 serving = 1 chicken breast and 1/4 cup cooked whole wheat noodles.


Holiday Egg Nog

1/4 c. Egg Beaters
1/4 c. + 1 Tbs. Splenda
3/4 c. skim milk
1/4 tsp. vanilla
dash each of nutmeg and cinnamon

Whisk Egg Beaters and Splenda til thickened and frothy. Stir in remaining ingredients and serve!

Counts as one dairy/protein serving.

New Recipe -Peach/Blueberry Cobbler


I've been doing some experimenting. I used to do a LOT of baking (ummm... that's why the 244 pounds??) Now I'm trying to create things I can have fun making and eating.

I made this tonight and used it as a fruit serving plus my dessert. It could also be a fruit serving and a breakfast entree. (You can also substitute NS pancake mix for the whole wheat pancake mix and soy flour)

Blueberry/Peach Cobbler

1st, I nuked some frozen peaches and blueberries in a microwave safe stoneware cereal bowl (like I use for the bundt cake) with some Splenda and cinnamon - 4 minutes.
2nd, I mixed 1/8 of a cup of Whole Wheat pancake mix with 2 tablespoons soy flour, 2 tbs. SF Applesauce, 1/4 c. egg beaters, 2 tbs. splenda
3rd, I took the nuked peach/blueberries out and spread the batter on the top and put in a 350 oven for about 18 minutes.

Enjoy!

I'll post more recipes as they come along.
