White Chocolate Peppermint Brownies by Ashley

I always feel bad saying these are "by" me when I totally stole them from my friend Vanessa. They are so good they will make you want to slap your momma!!! And better yet they are easy breezy!! You have to make these!! Ingredients: 1 box of fudge brownies 1 bag of white chocolate morsels 1 tub of milk chocolate icing 3 peppermint candy canes Directions: Bake brownies according to package directions. As soon as they come out pour the entire bag of white chocolate chips on top of the brownies and let melt (after a few minutes spread white chocolate with spreader to cover brownies and let cool completely). Spread icing on top of white chocolate and then sprinkle with chopped candy canes...is that totally simple or what!?!?

Lite Chinese Chicken Chop by Ashley

I am a huge Chinese Chicken Salad fan, but they are not always good for you. I found one in the Hungry Girl recipe book that is delicious!! Ingredients: Chopped Romaine Lettuce Shredded Green Cabbage Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, chopped Mandarin Oranges, drained water chestnuts, drained and chopped (i used my whole) minced scallions Fiber One Bran Cereal (original) Directions: Bake Chicken Breast (I marinated mine in Teriyaki marinade). Or you could boil your chicken, chop it, and saute that with the water chestnuts in lite soy or sweet and sour sauce. Add as much or as little of the other ingredients. Great with Lite Honey Mustard Dressing or an Asian Dressing.

Lite Frito Bandito by Ashley

I love making Chili this time of year and I don't know about you, but I always have so much leftover. This is a great way to change it up. My boys loved it. Obviously this is the healthier version from the hungry girl blog, which is what I ate, but for the boys I used real cheese. Either way it is good. Ingredients: 1/3 cup low-fat turkey or veggie chili ( I used my normal chili recipe which has extra lean beef in it.) 1 La Tortilla Factory Smart & Delicious Low Carb High Fiber Large Tortilla (or alternative below) 2 tbsp. shredded fat-free cheddar cheese 1/2 package Fritos Original Corn Chips 100 Calorie Pack (or other alternative below!) Optional: 2 tbsp. diced onion Directions: Place chili in a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and heat for 45 - 60 seconds, until hot. Set aside. Lay tortilla flat on a microwave-safe plate, and warm in the microwave for about 10 seconds. Spoon chili down the center of the tortilla. Cover the chili with cheese, and then top with Fritos. If you...
