Hungry Girl Today: 8.21.09

Our last email of foil-pack recipes was a HUGE hit. Rave reviews from

subscribers poured in for weeks! After a response like that, how could we

NOT whip up a few new ones?! Foil packs work great on the grill, and these

summer sides ROCK. Start wrapping, humans!

Stuffed 'n Squashed Mushroom Foil Pack

PER SERVING (1 large stuffed mushroom): 92 calories, 2.75g fat, 447mg

sodium, 11.5g carbs, 3.25g fiber, 4g sugars, 6.5g protein -- POINTS® value

1*

This is one of our favorite new recipes. Partly because of how insanely

HUMUNGOUS these mushrooms are. WE LOVE HUGE FOOD! There, we said it.

Ingredients:

2 large portabella mushrooms

1 summer squash (yellow or green), ends removed, finely diced

2 wedges The Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss cheese, room temperature

1/2 tbsp. reduced-fat grated Parmesan-style grated topping

1/2 tsp. minced garlic

1/2 tsp. dried minced onion

1/8 tsp. salt, or more to taste

Dash ground thyme, or more to taste

Olive oil nonstick spray

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a bowl, combine cheese wedges, garlic, onion, salt, and thyme. Mix until

smooth. Set aside.

Remove mushroom stems and finely chop. Add chopped stems to the bowl,

and set mushroom caps aside.

Add squash to the bowl and stir well, until veggies are coated in the cheese

mixture. Lay a large piece of heavy-duty foil in front of you on a baking pan.

Lightly mist mushroom caps with olive oil spray, and place next to each other

on the foil with the rounded sides down. Spoon veggie-cheese mixture into

the mushroom caps -- there will be a lot, so pack it in! Sprinkle with Parm

topping.

Place another large piece of foil over the caps. Fold together and seal all four

edges of the two foil pieces, forming a well-sealed packet.

Place baking sheet in the oven and bake for 23 - 25 minutes, until

mushrooms are soft and tender.

Allow packet to cool for a few minutes, and then cut to release steam before

opening it entirely. (Careful -- steam will be hot.) If you like, season to taste

with additional salt and thyme. Enjoy!

Do the Cabbage Pack!

PER SERVING (1/4th of recipe): 88 calories, 4.5g fat, 292mg sodium, 8g

carbs, 2.5g fiber, 4.5g sugars, 5g protein -- POINTS® value 2*

This one's loaded with bacon and buttery deliciousness. YUM!!! We're TOTAL

cabbage pack kids...

Ingredients:

Half a head of green cabbage

1 small onion, sliced

1/4 cup precooked real crumbed bacon (like the kind by Oscar Mayer)

2 tbsp. light whipped butter or light buttery spread (like Brummel & Brown)

1 tsp. minced garlic

Dash salt, or more to taste

Dash black pepper, or more to taste

Dash paprika, or more to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Carefully remove the tough core from the cabbage using a sharp knife. Slice

cabbage half into 4 thin wedges. Halve each wedge, leaving you with

8 "chunks."

Lay a large piece of heavy-duty foil in front of you on a baking sheet. Lay

cabbage in the center, and top with onion. Add butter in four evenly spaced

dollops over the onion. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Top

with bacon and garlic.

Place another large piece of foil over the veggies. Fold together and seal all

four edges of the two foil pieces, forming a well-sealed packet.

Place baking sheet in the oven and cook for 30 - 35 minutes, until veggies

are soft.

Let cool slightly. Using oven mitts, carefully flip packet over, allowing butter

mixture to coat the veggies, and then return to right-side-up. Cut packet to

release steam before opening it entirely. (Careful -- steam will be hot.) If

you like, season to taste with additional salt, pepper, and paprika. Mmmmm!
