Your Favorite Post OP- WLS Recipe
Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
Betty Crocker to the rescue here with spring/summer faves: I concoct my own recipes, so am guesstimating measured quantities, though you'll get the gist! ( I'm a Miracle Whip gal, though substitute with your preferred choice for mayo!)
Seafood Salad
1 lg can water-pak tuna (drained
1 - 2 small pack (s) imitation crab chunks (cut into small pieces)
four to six hard-boiled eggs
two bunches green onions finely chopped (I mainly use the white ends)
1/2 c lite Miracle Whip
1/2 tsp each: dry mustard, paprika
1/4 c minced garlic (I prefer the glass jars with olive oil)
Add fresh ground pepper, and a titch of tumeric to taste
I only use Brownberry Nut bread, though often wrap a half cup into a romaine lettuce leaf.
Legal BLTs:
Bacon, tomato,and lite Miracle Whip wrapped into romaine lettuce leaf--I don't miss the toast at all!
Parmesan Garlic Chicken Breasts
Four to six boneless skinless chicken breasts, thawed and cut to preferred portion size
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan (I use more as I love it!)
Minced garlic as preferred (I use a lot!)
2 Tb butter (or I use lite I Can't Believe It's Not Butter)
Melt butter choice in fry pan--(use low heat so it won't turn brown). Add chicken breasts. Pan-brown both sides, turn down heat and add remaining ingredients except for fresh parmesan. Cover the pan, let mixture immer fifteen minutes, then add fresh parmesan , cover again for ten minutes. These freeze exceptionally well!
Cheesecake snack/dessert:
One sm box Jello s/f Cheesecake pudding
Two cups skim milk
1 lb fresh strawberries, diced
Two small cartons fresh blueberries
Four ripened kiwi fruit, diced
Prepare one box s/f Jello Cheesecake pudding per box instructions.
In separate bowl, mix together: strawberries and kiwi fruit, and blueberries.
Fill bottom of 1/2 c Tupperware/Glad containers with fruit mixture. Add pudding over. Chill and enjoy! (I actually prefer more fruit than pudding in my containers, for just a taste of cheesecake flavor).
Excellent snack 'cookie':
Wrap a Dried apricot around a fresh plain almond. Tasty!
Enjoy! "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain." Hugs galore, Patti
