Hungry Girl Today: 5.28.09
WEEKLY WEIGH-IN
Who has time to cook a big, elaborate meal in the middle of the week? NO
ONE! Check out our new super-easy foil-pack recipes. Just wrap, bake, and
chew...
So-Fancy Fish Pack
PER SERVING (entire recipe): 205 calories, 4g fat, 412mg sodium, 6g carbs,
2.75g fiber, 3g sugars, 35g protein -- POINTS® value 4*
This tastes like a fancy-schmancy restaurant meal, but it's something you
can whip up at home in a FLASH. Nothing fishy about that!
Ingredients:
6 oz. raw tilapia, cod, or similar type of white fish
8 thin (or 6 thick) asparagus stalks, tough ends removed
2 slices lemon
1 tsp. light whipped butter or light buttery spread (like Brummel & Brown)
1/2 tsp. chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp. crushed garlic
1/8 tsp. salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a small bowl, mix together butter, parsley, garlic, and salt to form a thick
paste. Set aside.
Lay a large piece of heavy-duty foil in front of you. Line up the stalks side by
side (like a raft) in the center of the foil. Lay the fish on top of the asparagus.
Spread butter mixture evenly over the fish, and top with lemon slices. Fold
and seal the top and bottom edges of the foil, and then the side edges, to
create a well-sealed packet.
Place packet on a baking sheet, and cook in the oven for about 15 minutes,
until asparagus is tender and fish is cooked through.
Allow packet to cool for a few minutes, and then cut to release steam before
opening it entirely. (Careful -- steam will be hot.) Arrange fish and asparagus
on a plate (use the lemon slices as a pretty garnish), admire, and eat!

We're not sure what this is. A stew? A saucy taco filling? An entree?
Whatever you call it, it's DELICIOUS!!!!
Ingredients:
4 oz. raw skinless boneless lean chicken breast, cut into pieces
1/3 cup canned tomato sauce
1/4 cup canned seasoned black beans, lightly drained
1/4 cup canned sweet corn, drained
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 tsp. Tabasco Chipotle Pepper Sauce
salt, to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. Set aside.
Lay a large piece of heavy-duty foil in front of you. Scoop chicken mixture
into the center of the foil. Fold and seal the top and bottom edges of the foil,
and then the side edges, to create a well-sealed packet.
Place packet on a baking sheet, and cook in the oven for 15 - 17 minutes,
until chicken is cooked through.
Allow packet to cool for a few minutes, and then cut to release steam before
opening it entirely. (Careful -- steam will be hot.) This recipe is extra-saucy,
so empty it right into a bowl. Dig in!
