Eat at home cooks strikes again.

We tried Eatathomecooks.com White Enchiladas tonight. They reminded me of a mexican restaurant enchiladas. Mine came out to be higher in pts, so next time I might use less cheese than what the recipe called for. Since that is where the majority of the points were coming from. I also added a can or Rotel, b/c we like Rotel in this house.

White Enchiladas (makes 10 enchiladas)

WW pts: 6 pts an enchilada

10 flour tortillas (I just look at the nutritional info and pick the one that looks the best)

2 cups jack cheese (I used 2 percent and it was still kinda high in pts)

2 chicken breast, cooked and then shredded

1 medium onion diced, and cooked with the chicken

1 can Rotel, drained

1 1/2 Tbsp butter, light

1 1/2 Tbsp flour (I used whole wheat)

1 can chicken broth

1 cup fat free sour cream

1 can Ortega diced chiles, drained (7 oz)

Preheat oven to 425. Mix together 1 cup of cheese, the chicken, onion and Rotel. Put some mixture into each tortilla, roll and place seam side down in a 9x13 casserole dish.

In a skillet, melt butter. Stir in the flour and cook until smooth and thickened. Add the chicken broth, whisking until smooth and thickened. Stir in sour cream and green chilies. Pour over top of enchiladas. Top with remaining cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes.

The only thing I could think to do different is probably add some diced green peppers into the chicken mixture.

Chicken & Spinach Enchilada Soup

I found this recipe in a cookbook that I had gotten from the library. Somehow I always forget that huge stash of cookbook the library has. But while I was there last time, I ran into that section and found a couple that I flipped through. This one did not disappoint, it was light but filling, if that makes sense.

Chicken & Spinach Enchilada Soup (makes 4 servings)

WW pts: 4.5 pts a serving

2 tsp Olive Oil

1 lb boneless chicken breast, diced into 3/4 inch cubes (2 breasts is what I used)

1/2 medium onion dices

2 cups fat free low sodium chicken broth

1 1/2 cup fat free milk

1- 10.5 ounce can low fat cream of chicken soup

1- 10 ounce frozen chopped spinach, thawed & squeezed dry

1/2 tsp Chili powder

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1/4 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (I used full fat, but it might be less pts for low-fat or ff)

Heat a large non-stick saucepan over medium high heat. Pour the oil into the saucepan and swirl to coat. Cook Chicken 6-8 minutes or until no longer pink in the center. Add onion and cook for 3-4 minutes.

Stir in broth, milk, soup, spinach, cumin and chili powder. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 6-8 minutes. To serve, ladle the soup into the bowls and sprinkle with the cheese.

We made a cheese quesadilla and split it between Michael and I. All in all this one is a keeper, and the only thing I could think to do different was to add a can of Rotel, or some more Chili Powder.

Another newbie.

I have now had to add another 3 ring binder to my kitchen... full of all the new recipes that I've found online, ripped out of magazines, and gotten in the mail. So tonight since we had fish on the menu, I thought I would flip through my binder and poof I found this recipe that I've had for a while, but never tried.... and wow am I sorry I hadn't tried it sooner.

Baked Tilapia with Corn and Tomatoes (makes 2 Fillets)

WW pts: 2 points per fillet package

2 cups frozen whole kernel corn, thawed

1 can (14.5 oz) Hunt's Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes with garlic

1/2 chopped onion

1/2 tsp dill weed

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp cumin

2 Tilapia fillets, thawed

1/2 tsp pepper

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine corn, drained tomatoes, onion, dill, cumin and pepper in a small bowl. For each packet, lay two sheets of regular foil on top of each other. Place about 1/4 of mixture on the foil, then place tilapia on top, then top with 1/4 of mixture. Bring up short sides of foil packet and double fold the top. Place packets on baking sheets and bake for 20-30 minutes until the fish is flaky. Once the fillets are done, I put the contents of the packets on a bed of brown rice.

I also had some steamed broccoli. So our whole meal was 5 pts and it was really good. We will be keeping this recipe!!
