Whether you call it soul food, comfort food, Southern-style grub or
something else altogether, we call it delicious! You'll FLIP for these HG-ized
Southern favorites...
So-Good Sausage Gravy 'n Biscuits

carbs, 9g fiber, 1g sugars, 17g protein -- POINTSŪ value 4*
Go hog wild with this fat-slashed, vegetarian-friendly version of a classic!
Ingredients:
1 meatless sausage-style breakfast patty (like one by Morningstar Farms or
Boca, or two of Yves' small patties)
1 light english muffin
1/2 cup Unsweetened Original Almond Breeze
4 tsp. whole-wheat flour
dash salt
dash pepper
dash onion powder
To taste: additional salt, pepper and onion powder, garlic powder, minced
dried onions
Directions:
Prepare breakfast patty according to package directions (either in a pan with
nonstick spray, or in the microwave). Once cool enough to handle, cut patty
into small, crumble-sized pieces. Set aside.
To make the gravy, combine Almond Breeze, flour, salt, pepper, and onion
powder. Mix well. Place gravy and sausage crumbles in a small pot, and heat
stovetop over a medium-high flame. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Once
it reaches a boil, reduce heat to medium, and continue cooking and stirring
for 1 - 2 minutes (until gravy thickens). Remove from heat. Season gravy
generously with additional spices (to taste). Separate the english muffin into
halves and warm in the microwave. Then pour the sausage gravy over the
open-faced halves. Enjoy!

1/2 cup Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)
3 3/4 cups cold water

Place tea bags in a heat-safe medium pitcher (hang tags over the top, if you
prefer), and set aside. In a medium pot, combine water and Splenda. Over
medium heat, bring to a boil. Once water reaches a full boil, pour over the
tea bags. Allow to steep for 5 minutes. Then remove tea bags, and
refrigerate until chilled. Enjoy exactly as is, or over some ice!

Faux-Fried Green Tomatoes
PER SERVING (entire recipe): 140 calories, 1.5g fat, 699mg sodium, 34g
carbs, 12g fiber, 7g sugars, 8g protein -- POINTSŪ value 2*
HG Tip! Although you'll only use the amounts called for, it may be helpful to
dole out a little extra egg substitute and milk. And if you don't see green
tomatoes out there with the ripe red ones, ask a friendly stock boy (that's
what we did!).
Ingredients:
1 medium green (unripe) tomato, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1/3 cup Fiber One bran cereal (original), ground to a breadcrumb-like
consistency
1 1/2 tbsp. cornmeal
2 tbsp. fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Original Egg Beaters)
2 tbsp. low-fat milk (light soymilk or Unsweetened Original Almond Breeze
will also work)
1/4 tsp. seasoned salt
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. onion powder
dash salt
dash pepper
Optional: additional spices, ketchup (for dipping)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Combine the ground cereal, cornmeal and
spices in a sealable container or plastic bag. (For a more flavorful coating,
add extra spices.) Pour the egg substitute into a small dish.
Pour the milk into another small dish. Dip a tomato slice in the milk, and
place it in the cereal/cornmeal mixture. Seal the container or bag, and shake
until the slice is coated. Remove the slice and set aside, and then repeat with
the remaining slices. Next, repeat this entire process using the egg substitute
in place of the milk, coating your tomato slices with the crumb mixture a
second time. (Before coating the slices in crumbs again, give 'em a shake so
they're not dripping with excess egg substitute.)
Place the double-coated slices on a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick
spray. Pop 'em in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes, flipping the slices about
halfway through cooking. Tomatoes are done when the outsides are nice and
crispy. Enjoy! These are great by themselves, but they're also excellent
dipped in ketchup!
