Feeling a lil Fishy! (Susie Homemaker Edition 2)

That RARE feeling has hit me yet again....I wanna get in the kitchen and make something! I had to find something somewhat low in calories and fat....low carbs would be great too but hey its my bday weekend (so I dont care!)! Since I've been craving seafood, I decided on Crawfish Soup (similar to a bisque but NO flour!) Took about 10-15min! 3 steps and I was done!!!!

Ingredients used
Coconut oil                  Green Pepper
Stewed Tomatos          Diced Tomato
Onions                         Garlic cloves
Crawfish tails               Chicken Broth or H20
Low fat Cream Cheese

Seasonings
Old Bay                       Cayenne Pepper
Sea Salt                       Creole Seasoning
Pepper                         Garlic Powder

Don't have specific amounts used (ie. 1 cup, tbsp, etc) because I was just winging it...literally throwing stuff in a pot.

1st I put a little coconut oil in a pot and added my onion, peppers, diced tomatoes, & garlic and let it a sauté a bit...

2nd Add the crawfish tails, cook for about 5-8min, and season (til' your heart fills happy!)...


3rd Add your chicken broth or water (I didn't add too much because I wanted a chunkier soup) stewed tomatoes, and then add the cream cheese, then cover and let it simmer for a little while so it can thicken.... and WALAH! FINISHED!


IT WAS DELICIOUS!!!

Susie Homemaker.....Hungry Girl Edition!


So I was cruising along Amazon and saw these cookbooks my friend recommended that I purchase so I did.....Hungry Girl....
                                                      

The concept of this cookbook is to make easy low cal that are tasty without the fat!
I was intrigued....so I got to cooking!! (I hate cooking by the way.....)


1st was my chicken roll up...delicious and doesn't seem that healthy if you ask me....chicken, salsa and lowfat cheese rolled up in croissant dough. 191 cal per serving....


Second and not too tasty....low fat pizza. Wheat tortilla as a crust with soy crumbles for a meat substitute, Rotel tomatoes, and low fat cheese on top.... 110 cal per serving.


Third....Mexican style Baked chicken stuffed with refried beans and low fat cheese. Pretty Good! But then again, I tend to love everything Mexican!!!


Lovely Dinner....The baked chicken w/ broccoli and cauliflower w/ cheese. 


And my fav..... low-fat 100 cal cupcakes... cupcake mix, egg substitute, cocoa mix, water, and marshmallow fluff on top w/ a handful of semi-sweet chocolates.

And a moment to step off the diet....the boo came to visit and we ALL know he aint eating low fat crap lol.....so in respects to him.....Fat-filled but delicious steak (A1 on top) and broccoli w/ cauliflower & cheese....and a alcoholic beverage on the side.



Just a little look in my kitchen....
