Re: Recipes
Lemon Roasted Asparagus
1 lb Asparagus trimmed
2 lemons 1 sliced 1 juiced
2 tbs olive oil
1 ˝ tsp sea salt
1 tsp cracked black pepper
Combine the lemon juice, olive oil, s&p in a bowel
Pour the mixture over the asparagus and toss (coat each piece evenly)
Place on a baking sheet and layer the lemon slices on top
Roast in the oven @ 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until slightly blackened.
This same mixture also works great on salmon or halibut just rub it on the fish, place the lemon slices on top and wrap in a foil packed. Bake at 400 degrees
I have done this with talpia and other lower fat fish and it still comes out great.

Re: Recipes
Are you sick of my recipes now? LOL - I have a TON more - aren't you excited??
Here's one that isn't really a recipe, but it was low fat and filling and I really, really enjoyed it and think I should make it this weekend for lunch. It was just a creation from Robin's twisted brain - but I love it!
Take a small dinner plate (vs. the large one) and spread about a 1/4 to 1/3 cup of fat free re-fried beans on the bottom. Take some taco seasoning (dry) and sprinkle on top of that. Nuke long enough to warm the re-fried beans.
Top with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, onions, etc. Top that with a dollop or two of Salsa and Daisy Light Sour Cream.
OMG - it is YUMMY!!!!

Re: Recipes
Quick 2 Point snack idea.
I really need to get back on Weight Watchers - it really is easy. But anyway - this was a favorite snack and pick-me up.
I'd take a single fajita sized tortilla (Kroger brand for me) and I'd put single slice of lowfat Kraft Pepperjack Cheese on the tortilla and fold in half (which I can't find any more - but Kroger makes a knock off - your store might too).
Lightly spray a warmed up skillet with PAM (not Provent A Mite! LOL) and then brown on both sides or until the cheese comes oozing out and you can't stand it any longer.
If it's 2 points, then it's not much more than 100 calories.
You can also just nuke it if you're in a hurry and don't worry about browning it in a skillet.

LOL...they're awesome! If you keep this up, we'll have to make a sub-forum just for recipes! I can't wait to try a bunch of these! (And the refried beans thingy sounds great...I can probably do that for lunch today!!)
