Ornament Exchange Recipes

Although I missed the ornament exchange, I would love to get your weight loss friendly dishes. 

My family is having snacks for Christmas instead of a big dinner for Christmas.  I would love to be able to make some good tasting recipes.

I would especially like to know about the Banana Split Pie.  Thank you and I look forward to getting some new recipes.

Stuffed Mushrooms.......
4 conatainers of white button mushrooms
1 pkg. sage sausage
salt and pepper to taste
garlic powder to taste
1/2 cup parmesean cheese
1/2 stck parkay


de-stem mushrooms and wipe w/ paper towel
combine sausage/cheese/salt and pepper and garlic power. I don't ever measure so I would say 1 to 2 tsps.
Stuff raw mix in mushroom caps and saute sausage side down for 20-30 min. in parkay
Turn w/ fork, gently and saute anoth 20 .ins or so.
Put a little beef broth or water in bottom of crock pot ( 1 cup or so ) line mushrooms on bottom. Then I sprinkle paremeas on top and then another layer of mushrooms, and so on. Put the lid on and I say they were on low for about 45 minutes before we served. Very Yummy!

Next time I am usung Baby Bella mushroom caps. I also chopped up the unused stems and fried them up w/ the leftover sausage mix and sprinkled on top of mushrooms in crockpot!

Thanks Shanna for posting this.  I cant wait to make them. 

Heres the Buffalo Dip I made:

 

Pamela's Buffalo Dip

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (I either buy a pre-cooked grocery store chicken or just poach a couple of breasts and shred)
• 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened(used 1/3 less fat) Pilly brand
  
• 1 cup Blue Cheese dressing (I used Marzettis in the fridge area)
  
• 3/4 cup pepper sauce, such as Franks Red Hot®
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 bunch celery, cleaned and cut into 4 inch pieces (for low-carb snacking) or Tortilla chips

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat chicken and hot sauce in a skillet over medium heat, until heated through. Stir in cream cheese and blue cheese dressing. Cook, stirring until well blended and warm.
2. Mix in the shredded cheese and transfer the mixture to a slow cooker. Cover, and cook on Low until hot and bubbly.
3. Serve with celery sticks and Tortilla chips.

 

Leigh Ann,

I have several recipes on my profile. You're welcome to check them out. The sf eclairs tend to be a big hit. Cindy & Brenda has made them as 'puffs' instead of the longer 'eclairs' and they are wonderful that way.
