Serving Size : 9 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Mexican Food Gravy And Sauces

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Prep Method
-------- ------------ ---------------------
1 1/2 Cups boiling water
3 dried ancho chiles or 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
2 Large poblano chiles
1 Large yellow bell pepper
1 Cup diced tomato
1/2 Cup diced red onion
1/4 Cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 Tablespoons orange juice
2 Tablespoons lime juice
2 Tablespoons serrano chilie -- minced and seeded
1/4 Teaspoon salt

Be sure to handle chiles with care because they can irritate you skin. It is wise to use gloves and be careful of the eyes.

1. Combine water and ancho chiles in a small bowl; cover anchos, and let stand for 30 minutes or until soft. Drain well; seed and chop.

2. Preheat broiler. Cut poblanos and bell pepper in half lengthwise; discard seeds and membranes. Place poblanos and bell pepper halves, skin sides up, on a foil-lined baking sheet; flatten with hand. Broil for 10 minutes or until blackened. Place in a zip-top plastic bag; seal. Let stand 10
minutes. Peel and dice poblanos and bell pepper.

3. Combine anchos, roasted poblanos and bell pepper, tomato, and the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl; cover salsa, and chill.

DREAMY CREAMSICLE

1 4-serving package of sugar free gelatin, they suggested orange

1 8oz. Carton of vanilla nonfat yogurt

Directions:

1. Mix 8 oz. boiling water with the jello. Stir til it is dissolved.

2. DO NOT ADD ANY MORE WATER, instead, add the yogurt and mix.

3. Pour into containers.

Total WW points = 3

Use extra yogurt containers - fill up 2 of them. Both are just 3 points total. Good way to get in your milks for the day!

This is so versitile, you could make it and pour it into a graham cracker crust and top with ff cool whip. It is really good with the ff cool whip on top even if you just eat it out of the cup...(make it in layers in an 8x8 pan for Thanksgiving or something). So many possibilities

Buffalo Chicken Macaroni Salad
Yield: 4 Servings

1/2 c Kraft Fat Free Blue Cheese Dressing
1/4 c Kraft Fat Free mayonnaise
1 t Tabasco sauce
1/4 t Paprika
1 1/2 c (8 oz) diced cooked chicken breast
1/2 c Chopped celery
2 c Cold cooked elbow macaroni, rinsed and drained
1 c Diced fresh tomatoes

In a large bowl, combine the blue cheese dressing, mayonnaise, Tabasco sauce, and paprika. Add chicken, celery and macaroni. Mix well to combine. Stir in tomatoes. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Gently stir again before serving.

Hint: 1 1/3 cups uncooked macaroni usually cooks to about 2 cups.

Lin's notes: I like to spice things up a little, so I added 1 tsp. Paul Prudhomme's vegetable spice, 1/2 cup diced onion, 1/2 tsp. salt, fresh ground pepper, and a little bit of Emeril's Essence. This is a really
great recipe, and would probably be great with Lobster or Crab, or even the fake crab that is on the market.
