Low Fat Recipes

[KristinaB]

How about a thread about low fat recipes to share? I'll start.

Got this from Weight Watcher's, but I change it up a little.

Sweet & Spicy Crisps
12 servings

These sweet & spicy crisps are virtually fat=free, lots of fun to eat and terrifically crunchy. Best of all, they're a complete snap to make.

Ingredients:
24 pieces wonton wrappers
Cooking spray (Pam or something)
1 Tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange wonton wrappers on nonstick baking sheets in a single layer and coat with cooking spray.

Stir together rest of ingredients and sprinkle mixture over wonton wrappers.

Bake until crisp, 8 or 9 minutes. Set on wire rack to cool completely.

Yields 2 crisps per serving.


What I do, is cut the wontons into quarters (pizza cutter is handy), omit the salt and use the sugar with 1 teaspoon of any Mrs. Dash flavoring we feel like. With the smaller size, they only cook for 5-6 minutes. We found the salt to be too much and like to change things up. Also, the smaller size, makes them the size of a cracker like the wheat thins.

Hope you enjoy this. Today, I made them with Chili/Lime seasoning. Tomorrow, or Wednesday it will be Southwest Chipolte.

Chicken-Corn Chowder
from the Busy People's Low-Fat Cook Book by Diane HAll

2/3 cup fat-free shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon onion salt (I used onion powder)
1 11oz can sweet corn with diced peppers. (I used frozen corn and diced my own peppers)
2 15oz cans cream-style corn
1 14 1/2 ox can fat-free chicken broth
1 cup diced cooked chicken breast
ground pepper (I used Mrs. Dash Chili-Lime seasoning)

Combine all ingredients together in a pot, bring to a boil over med-hi heat, stirring continuously. Remove from heat and allow to cool 3-4 minutes before serving.

To make this a meat free dish, do not use chicken and replace the broth with vegetable broth.
