WEEKLY WEIGH-IN
Bored with the same old sides? Check out these recipes -- they also make
great snacks and mini-meals!
HG's Cheesy Butternut Bake
PER SERVING (1/4th of casserole): 101 calories, 1g fat, 457mg sodium, 20g
carbs, 3g fiber, 5g sugars, 4g protein -- POINTS® value 2*
This stuff is the ultimate guilt-free side dish. It tastes like cheesy, fluffy,
mashed sweet potatoes, only better!
Ingredients:
4 cups cubed butternut squash
2 wedges The Laughing Cow cheese, Light Original Swiss, room temperature
3/4 cup diced onions
1/4 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. chili powder
1/8 tsp. pepper
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place squash in large microwave-safe bowl with 1/4 cup of water. Cover and
microwave for 6 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, uncover and drain
water. Set aside.
Place onions in a small microwave-safe dish with 2 tbsp. water. Cover and
microwave for 3 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, uncover and drain
any excess water. Set aside.
Place squash and all other ingredients except for the onions in a blender.
(Make sure squash cubes are not still piping hot.) Pulse until thoroughly
mixed (but not liquefied). Remove blender from the base, and then stir in the
onions.
Transfer squash mixture to a small casserole dish sprayed with nonstick
spray. Place in the oven, and bake for 35 - 40 minutes (until edges begin to
brown). Then serve with a spoon as you would mashed potatoes! Enjoy!

HG's Spinach, Mushroom and Mozzarella Supreme
PER SERVING (1/6th of casserole): 106 calories, 1g fat, 597mg sodium, 11g
carbs, 3.5g fiber, 4g sugars, 8g protein -- POINTS® value 2*
A serving of this could quite possibly be the most satisfying 106 calories
EVER...
Ingredients:
Two 16-oz. bags frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained, and thoroughly
patted dry
1 1/2 cups canned sliced mushrooms (about 2 medium cans or 1 large),
drained
3 wedges The Laughing Cow cheese, any Light flavor, room temperature
1 cup diced onions
1/3 cup shredded fat-free mozzarella cheese
3/4 tsp. garlic powder
Optional: salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a pan sprayed with nonstick spray, cook onions over high heat until
browned (about 3 minutes).
Make sure all excess water has been removed from spinach. In a mixing
bowl, combine spinach, onions, cheese wedges, and garlic powder. Mix well.
In a medium casserole dish sprayed with nonstick spray, spread half of the
spinach mixture along the bottom.
Layer half of the mushrooms evenly over the spinach mixture in the
casserole dish. Then spread the remaining spinach mixture over the
mushrooms. Layer the rest of the mushrooms over that.
Sprinkle the top of the casserole with the shredded cheese. Then place dish
in the oven to cook for 25 - 30 minutes (until the shredded cheese layer
begins to crisp slightly). If you like, season your serving to taste with salt
and pepper.
