Low Fat Enchilada soup from: Stephany

1 large 28oz can of enchilada sauce

1 28oz can of diced tomatoes, can use stewed, but I don’t like them

1 can cream corn

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can green chilies

Options:

Fat free half and half ½ to 1cup

Olives

Any cooked protein you want, like left over chicken breast, canned chicken or ground beef, shrimp

2% grated cheddar cheese

Baked tortilla chips

Low fat or no fat sour cream

Whisk cream soup and enchilada sauce in large pot over medium heat

Add all other canned ingredients and any already cooked protein

Simmer for about ½ hour

Serve with sour cream, chips and cheese.

Spaghetti Squash Casserole from: Stephany

1 medium spaghetti squash

1 jar low fat alfredo sauce

1 can diced tomatoes drained

1 lb cooked protein (shrimp, fake crab, chicken breast diced)

3-4 slices chopped turkey bacon crisped in a pan and patted optional

½ parmesan cheese

Your choice of herbs, I like thyme, basil garlic and onion powder salt and pepper

Cut squash in half, scrape out the seeds and pulp, cover in a large dish that will fit the squash. Add about ¼ water and cover the dish with saran wrap. Cook in microwave 5-7 minutes then turn the squash over and rotate the squash and cook until the inside of the squash peels away with a fork. Let the squash cool enough so you can handle it, and scrape out from the skin into the casserole dish, add all other ingredients and cook in microwave loosely covered until bubbly or in the oven 350 degrees. This dish can be stretched even more by adding ½ box of pasta cooked and leave the tomato juice in.
