Chicken Parmesan Pasta Toss

So this is definitely one of my boyfriend favorite things that I make and since he came and visited this weekend I of course made it for him. This is from the book Eat More of What You Love. This cookbook is the sequel to Eat What You Love. Marlene Koch, the author does a great job of making really delicious recipes while making them low fat and providing a lot of nutrition facts on them. One portion is 1/4 of the recipe. 340 Calories, 41g Carbs, 29g Protein, 5g Fiber, 480mg Sodium, 4g Sugar, 9 WW pointsplus.

6 ounces (about 2 cups dry) penne pasta
2 1/2 tsp olive oil, divided
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 garlic cloves minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped (about 1 cup)
1/3 cup julienned sun-dried tomatoes

While preparing the sauce, cook the pasta according to the package directions and set aside.
Heat 1 tsp oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add panko bread crumbs and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan. Stir well and toast until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
Add remaining 1 1/2 tsp oil and heat over medium heat. Add the chicken and garlic and saute for 3 to 4 minutes or until the chicken is mostly cooked through. Sprinkle oregano, salt, and pepper over the chicken. Add both tomatoes and stir.

Place the pasta in a large bowl, pour the sauce over and stir gently. Sprinkle the pasta in a large bowl, pour the sauce over and stir gently. Sprinkle the panko Parmesan crumbs over the pasta and serve.

So when I'm not cooking, my roommates and I are the trifecta of trouble. And we do things like this to our poor innocent friends. This one in particular was Larry Martin.
Enjoy :)

Egga-Pinwheels

So yes, I'm on a bit of a pinwheel kick, but they're delicious! This recipe is from Hungry Girl 300 under 300. It makes 8 serving and my roommates, my boyfriend, and I ate all of it up. I recommend dabbing the eggs dry before you place them on the dough, if they are still to moist it wont let the dough in the center of the wheel get fully cooked. But I believe you could also substitute bacon cut up into bits instead of the ham slices if you don't like ham. Just make sure it's 4 ounces of turkey bacon.



1 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute 
1 package Pillsbury Crescent Recipe Creations Seamless Dough Sheet
4 ounces shaved sliced lean deli ham
3 slices fat free American cheese, broken into pieces 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat on the stove. Add egg substitute and scramble until fully cooked, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Prepare a baking sheet by spraying it with nonstick spray, and set that aside as well.
Roll out dough into large rectangle of even thickness, with the shorter sides on the right and left.
Evenly distribute ham over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border of exposed dough along the right side only. Evenly top ham with scrambled eggs and cheese pieces.
Starting with the left side, roll up dough tightly into a log, and seal by pinching together the right edge of the roll itself. 
Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the log into 8 pinwheels and lay them flat on the baking sheet, evenly spaced.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly.

Fiber-ific Fried Cheese Sticks

Another recipe from Hungry Girl 200 under 200. So I told a coworker of mine that I would be making these today and he asked me to share the recipe if they were any good. And they were pretty gosh darn delicious. So yes Richard, they turned out pretty good. One serving is 4 pieces which is what the recipe makes. 155 calories, 5.5g fat, 500mg sodium, 13.5g carbs, 7g fiber, 0g sugars, 19g protein, 4 WW points plus.

2 pieces light mozzarella string cheese
1/4 cup Fiber One bran cereal (original)
2 tbsp fat-free liquid egg substitute
salt, pepper, and italian seasonings
Optional: low far marinara sauce

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a food processor or blender, grind Fiber One to a bread crumb-like consistency. Place crumbs in a sealable plastic bag or a container with a lid. Season crumbs with as much salt, pepper, and italian seasoning as you like. Set aside.
Cut both pieces of string cheese in half so that you have four short sticks. Place sticks in a small bowl and cover then with egg substitute. Swirl egg substitute around so that it thoroughly coats the cheese sticks. One by one, give sticks a shake to remove excess egg substitute and transfer to the container/bag with the crumbs. 
Seal bag or cover container and shake well, coating the sticks completely with the crumbs. Carefully return sticks to the dish with the egg substitute and coat them again .Return cheese sticks to the crumbs, seal or cover, and shake once more to coat. 
Place sticks in a baking dish sprayed lightly with non-stick spray. Spritz the top of the sticks with a quick mist of spray.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until the first sign of cheese oozing out. Serve with warm marinara sauce if you like. These are best when eaten almost immediately, while the cheese is still hot and gooey.

Tonight we're celebrating one of my roommate's birthdays and she wanted these as her cake/dessert. we just took them out of the oven and now they are chilling in the fridge.

Sassy Southwestern Egg Rolls

This is also from Hungry Girl 200 under 200 recipe book. Fun fact: you can check out their website as well. So when I made these, I probably should have used a smaller tortilla, so I have now purchased new ones so the next time i make these, they are even more delicious then the first time. But this recipe makes 2 servings. And it's kinda weird because one serving is 3 egg roll halves with the sauce. 181 calories, 4.5g fat, 666mg sodium, 27g carbs, 14g fiber, 2g sugar, 19g protein, 5 WW pointsplus

1 tbsp diced red chili pepper

Sauce

2 tbsp fat-free sour cream
1 tbsp mashed avacado
1 tbsp diced tomato
1/2 tsp dry ranch dressing/dip mix
black pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a small micro-wave safe bowl, combine chicken, spinach, beans, corn, cheese, and chili pepper. Heat for 30 seconds in the microwave. 
Warm tortillas in the microwave for 15 seconds. On a clean, flat surface, lay out tortillas side by side. Place one-third of the chicken-spinach mixture in the center of each tortilla. 
To assemble each egg roll, fold sides in, so none of the filling can escape during cooking, and roll up from the bottom of the tortilla. 
Place all three rolls seam side down on a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
Bake in the oven for 12 minutes, flipping rolls over about halfway through cooking. Egg rolls should be crispy when done.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine sour cream, avocado, and ranch mix. Stir until smooth and blended. Season to taste with black pepper. 
Once egg rolls are done baking, allow them to cool for a few minutes. Cut each in half on a diagonal and arrange them beautifully on a plate. 
Top dipping sauce with the diced tomato, and serve with your egg rolls.

Gooey Cinnamon Rolls with Creme Cheese Icing

So this is a recipe from Hungry Girl 200 under 200 recipe book.
These yummy delicious treats need to be refrigerated after making and are still super delicious when you pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds. I have them with a side of fresh fruit. This morning it was cantaloupe. 
One serving size is 1 iced roll, Makes 8 Servings: 126 Calories, 5g fat, 308mg sodium, 18.5 carbs, <0.5g fiber, 3g proterin, 4 pointsplus (weightwatchers)

Dough

1 package Pillsbury Reduced Fat Crescent Rolls refrigerated dough
16 Sprays I can't Believe It's Not Butter

Filling

1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup no calorie sweetener granulated
1/2 tbsp light whipped butter or light buttery spread room temperature
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt

Icing

1/4 cup Cool Whip Free, thawed
3 tbsp fat free creme cheese room temperature
1 tbsp no calorie sweetener

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
To make filling, combine all ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring well to make sure the butter gets mixed in evenly. Set aside.
To make icing, combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix until smooth and blended. Place in the fridge to chill and set.
Prepare a dry surface by sprinkling it with a small smount of flour ro prevent sticking. Remove dough from package and knead into a ball.
Using a rolling pin dusted lightly with flour, very firmly roll out dough into a thin sheet about 8 inches by 12 inches. Spray the dough's surface evenly with butter. 
Spread filling out evenly over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. 
Starting with the long side of the dough, roll it up tightly, forming a log. Once dough is completely rolled up, pinch the long seam to seal. 
Turn the log over so that the seam is facing down. Using a very sharp knife, cut log into 8 even pieces, being careful not to squish the dough.
Spray a backing pan with nonstick spray and arrange pieces of dough with the swirl side facing up. Use your hands to firmly press down on the tops of the pieces. Pinch the side seams to seal if necessary.
Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 8 minutes. 
Remove foil and return pan to oven. Bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until cinnamon rolls have risen and are slightly browned on top.

Hello Internets

So I'm Jess and I really really love food. However, my body does not. I have always been sensitive to high in fat foods. And since my junior year in high school I have always been a little heavier than I liked. So since living on my own in college, I have made an effort to make healthier foods. So many of my friends have enjoyed the things I have made that I have decided to share the recipes here. I buy a lot of low calorie or healthy food alternative cook books and will share the recipes worth making with all of you. Hope it's helpful :)
