Sounds like everyone had a busy weekend. Thought i'd share my newest "find" for a good low points dinner recipe - for those who like a little bit of spice.
1 box Tony Chachere's Creole Red Beans & Rice dinner - old WW points - 8 points for the whole box
2 x 4 oz chicken breast - cut into 1 inch pieces - 4 points each old points
1 teasp olive oil - 1 point old points
Chef Paul Prudhomme's Magic Seasoning blend - Poultry Magic.
* Prepare red beans and rice per package instructions
* When red beans/rice is almost done - season chicken breast pieces with Poulty magic and brown in olive oil - cooking til done. Combine the chicken and the red beans/rice. A spoon of low fat sour cream goes well with it.
I combine this with a salad - and this give DH and i dinner for less than $7 AND the old WW total points is total 17 --- so only 8 1/2 points each !!
I haven't tried it yet, but i think turkey smoked sausage browned would also taste good in place of the chicken breast.
Hope you'll try it - and LIKE it.
