TWO Hungry Girl Recipes!!!!!

Last night I had some friends over and the theme was "diet" snacks (and fully loaded alcohol)  ;o)

I made my Weight Watchers Graham Cracker Chocolate Chip Cookies which I have posted the recipe to before.  I tried two new Hungry Girl Recipes that I am SOOOOOOO excited about!

I will be posting these recipes as I made it, not exactly as it is written in the cookbook.

Recipe #1 - Egga Pinwheels (I will be calling them HG Breakfast Pinwheel Burritos)

1 can of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
8 slices of deli ham (I used 97% fat free)
1/2 cup of egg substitute
4 slices of Kraft Singles (or whatever brand you like)

  • Preheat the oven per the crescent roll directions.
  • Scramble the egg substitutes in a skillet and set aside.
  • Grease baking pan.
  • Unroll the crescent rolls keeping 2 crescent rolls attached to each other.  Pinch the seam together so that it becomes one solid rectangle. 
  • Place the 4 rectangles on the greased baking pan.
  • Place 2 slices of ham on each rectangle.

  • Place a piece of cheese on top of the ham on each rectangle.  (I made these again today and left the cheese off on Josh's.  He was pleased with them as well.)

  • Evenly distribute the egg among the 4 rectangles.
  • Roll the crescent rolls into a log, pushing the ingredients inside as they start to spread out.

  • Pinch the end of the crescent roll into the log seeling the seam. 
  • Flip the log over so that the seam is down.
  • Cook per directions of the crescent rolls.

 
Once the logs are cooked, you can either eat it as a log (breakfast burrito) or you can cut it up to be individual pinwheels.  Either would be delicious!!!!!


Recipe #2 - Pepper Skins

This is such an awesome twist on the idea of potatoe skins!  I am so excited about it!

4 bell peppers (whatever color you prefer.  I prefer the reds, oranges, and yellows - which also make for pretty presentation)
8 servings of Oscar Meyer Pre-cooked Bacon Pieces
Scallions
4 servings of shredded cheese
low fat sour cream

**the amount of bacon pieces and cheese are estimates and can be done to taste**
  • Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Clean and cut your bell peppers into quarters.
  • Arrange on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.

  • Place 1/2 serving of bacon pieces on each pepper quarter.

  • Place 1/4 serving of cheese on each pepper.
  • Place desired amount of scallions on each pepper. 

  • Put back in the oven and bake until the cheese is melted.
  • Spread low fat sour cream on them and enjoy!!!!!


Both of these were a hit and great examples that you don't have to either go with out food or eat icky unenjoyable food to lose weight!
