This is a yummy, easy cheescake treat.  http://www.fattoskinny.net/index.php?topic=3613.0
I just wanted to point it out to some of the newbies!  I made last night and used True Lemon and it reminded me of Lemon Icebox Pie! http://www.amazon.com/True-Lemon-Crystallized-Fruit-Wedge/

Great snack or quick lunch. Hormel Pepperoni stix and cheese. 0 carbs

Stuffed buffalo chicken breast
I am trying these tonight (changing the Ritz crackers to pork rinds and leaving carrots out).  I get Laughing Cow recipes via email.  I love their cheese wedges! Pictures later!  http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/07/stuffed-buffalo-chicken-breasts.html

Ingredients:
•   1/4 cup shredded cheddar
•   4 wedges light Laughing Cow blue cheese
•   1/3 cup celery stalk, minced
•   1/4 cup green onion, minced
•   1/4 cup carrot, minced (delete)
•   salt and pepper, to taste
•   5 (3 oz each) thin boneless chicken breasts cutlets
•   15 reduced fat Ritz Crackers, crushed into crumbs (crushed pork rinds)
•   1 tbsp light mayonnaise
•   6 tbsp Franks hot sauce
•   1 tbsp lemon juice
•   2 tsp light butter
•   1/2 tsp garlic powder
•   cooking spray  

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly spray a baking dish with oil.
Mix cheddar, laughing cow cheese, celery, green onion, carrot, salt and pepper in a dish.
Lay out the chicken cutlets, placing even amount of mixture in the middle and spread in the center.

In one bowl make a breading station out of crushed ritz crumbs. In another bowl combine mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of hot sauce, and lemon juice as a dredging mixture.

Roll chicken breasts in the mayonnaise mixture, then into cracker crumbs, and put on a lightly greased pan, seam side down
Lightly spray top of chicken with cooking spray. Bake 30 minutes. While the chicken cooks, melt butter and mix with the remaining hot sauce and garlic powder. Drizzle buffalo sauce over finished chicken breast and serve.

Yummy!


This is a recipe that Maddysmom shared with me from one of her friends  

LOW CARB MU-SHU CHICKEN



Marinade:
•   3 Tablespoons soy sauce
•   1 Tablespoon sesame oil
•   1 clove garlic, crushed
•   1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (*)
•   1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
•   1/4 teaspoon hot sauce - such as Frank's hot sauce

OPTIONAL SWEET, If you want a bit of sweet with the heat add 3 drops FAT TO SKINNY Zero Sweetener

Stir-fry:
•   1 lb. chicken, cut into 1-1/2 inch strips
•   2 medium stalks celery, thinly sliced
•   3 cloves crushed garlic
•   1 Tablespoon grated fresh ginger
•   6 oz. fresh poopake or baby bella mushrooms, sliced into ½-inch strips
•   1 cup sliced green onion  - about 6 onions
•   4 cups sliced cabbage (I used pre-packaged bag slaw mix)
•   8 oz. bean sprouts
•   1 Tablespoon soy sauce
•   1 Tablespoon olive oil
•   1 Tablespoon sesame oil
Mix together marinade ingredients, add chicken and mix to coat.  Set aside while you chop veggies.

Prepare veggies, grate ginger and chop garlic and set aside.

Heat large skillet on medium-high heat with olive oil.  When the oil is hot, add the chicken and stir-fry until just cooked through (probably around 4-5 minutes).  Remove chicken from pan.

Add the sesame oil, then the celery, ginger and garlic.  Saute for 1-2 minutes.  Add the veggies in the following order, stir-frying for 2 minutes after each addition:  mushrooms, onions, cabbage and bean sprouts.  When you put in the bean sprouts - cover the pan for the last 2 minutes.

Add the soy sauce and chicken.  Toss to combine.  Cook about 1-2 minutes longer uncovered and serve immediately.

**I used prepared ginger in a tube from the grocery store and then just squirt out the amount I need.
