It's author, Gina Homolka, has so many creative ideas and I love that she has the Smart Points and nutritionals listed for every recipe.
I recently tried her recipe for Spiralized Mexican Sweet Potato and Chicken Casserole.
This is 9 Smart Points and I thought the portions were really generous.
It is a bit time consuming but it's worth it. I didn't have the guajillo peppers she mentioned and, in fact, I've never heard of them and wouldn't know where to get them.
I substituted chipotle peppers in abdabo sauce instead. My husband and I like things spicy so it worked out well for us.
I also didn't have fresh tomatoes on hand so I used two 15 oz cans of diced tomatoes.
Take a look at my final product-
This was amazingly delicious and satisfying. I didn't feel hungry enough to eat the rest of the pan afterward and that's pretty amazing for me!
This is also one of those recipes that tastes even better leftover!
I love that smoky flavor from the chipotle peppers.
I really love coming home from work knowing dinner is already prepared, I don't have to cook and I already know the points!
Of course we can't forget dessert. I found this 1 pt dessert on another of my preferred websites emilybites.
Fruit and yogurt Jello cups are an easy and inexpensive recipe. I wouldn't say it tasted great but it was good and at 1 pt it tasted even better.
It definitely gets points for looking good ;)
The instructions said to pour this into a paper lined muffin pan. I didn't have paper liners on hand so I used a silicone muffin tin.
This worked okay but I would say getting them out perfectly is a little tricky. Some of the bottoms broke apart a little.
Leaving them in the fridge longer seemed to help somewhat though.
