What's for supper at your house tonight?
Give me some suggestions, along with points, for what's cooking at your place?
Tonight I've saved some points for a good steak on the grill with some fresh tomatoes and green beans. Bon appetite!:moo: |
Chicken Breasts with Cranberry-Balsamic Sauce & Brussels Sprouts. Plus fresh plums off the tree for dessert.
The chicken breasts are colorful and just a bit different than the standard chicken dish. The cranberries add a nice sweet and sour too. Very yummy. ------------------ * Exported from MasterCook * CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CRANBERRY-BALSAMIC SAUCE & BRUSSELS SPROUTS Recipe By : Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:30 Categories : 5 Points MAIN DISHES Patty's Pointed Recipes Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 container Brussels sprouts -- (10 oz) 1 tbsp. olive oil 1 teaspoon olive oil 1 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour 1 1/4 pounds skinless boneless chicken breast -- halves, 4 2 cups cranberries 1/4 cup splenda 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 1.

This chicken sounds great, though I hate brussel sprouts!
Tonight I am having grilled pork tenderloin with corn on the cob and garden fresh green beans (about 10 points). I love summer grilling and fresh garden veggies! |
either porkchops grilled with a peach glaze, summer squash and some broccoli
or insalata caprese, depends on the number of tomatoes picked tonight. |
The chicken recipe doesn't taste like your mom's brussels sprouts. I was surprised to find it didn't even taste like mine. The sliced and baked with oil and salt really livens up the taste.

Tonight, since it is sooo hot here, I am making:
BLT's (lite bread- toasted, microwaved bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, and Mir. Whip lite) Corn on the cob, and sliced tomatoes. (8pts.) Maybe a lite beer for 2 pts. more!:dizzy: |
