Stuffed Bell Peppers


My friend sent me this link for stuffed bell peppers. The are yummy! I made a few changes...

My friend made these and when I saw her picture I asked for the recipe. I couldn't find the chicken sausage, so I used Jennie-O Hot Italian turkey sausage. Also, my ground beef was not grass fed.

I figured out the nutrition info for my version of the recipe:
315 calories per pepper
16g fat
2g sat fat
13g carbs
5g fiber

BBQ Chicken Stuffed Baked Potato

Who says you can't eat well when you're trying to lose weight? Pair this scrumptious take-out style dish with a side salad and you'll never miss all the calories from you favorite BBQ joint!

1 medium russet potato (roughly 5 oz)
1.75 oz pre-cooked chicken breast, shredded
1 TBSP BBQ Sauce w/ 70 calories or less per serving

Poke holes in potato and place in plastic grocery bag. Tie top of bag and put in microwave for about 4 minutes. (or if you're lucky like me, you'll have a baked potato setting, just push the button and go!) Check potato for doneness with a fork- if it slides in easily it's done, if not continue cooking 1 minute at a time until desired firmness is reached.

Add shredded chicken to a bowl and top with 1 TBSP bbq sauce. Microwave for about 1 minute or until heated through.

Split potato & season to your liking- I sprayed mine with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray & seasoned with salt and pepper. Stuff potato with warm chicken and garnish with green onions!
