good supper

As I mentioned in another thread a week or so ago, I've been watching my diet, counting weight watchers points and avoiding wheat/gluten. I made a good supper tonight, even my hubby liked it (I didn't tell him it was weight watchers recipe - he he)

WW Lowfat Taco Soup
1 lb ground turkey breast (I used 96/4 ground beef)
1 large onion chopped
1 (1 1/4 oz) package hidden valley ranch dressing mix (dry)
1 (1 1/4 oz) package taco seasoning mix
1 (15 oz) can pinto beans
1 (15 oz) can hot chili beans
1 (15 oz) whole kernel corn
1 (15 oz) rotel
1 (15 oz) can stewed tomatoes
(I also added a small can green chilies)

Brown meat and onions. Drain. Mix ranch dressing and taco seasoning mixes into the meat. Stir well. Add all other ingredients. Simmer 1 hour.

I put it all in the crockpot on low for 8 hours and it was GREAT!
Per cup of soup: 3 WW points


I served it with cornbread

Weight Watchers Cornbread
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup flour (I used corn flour since I am avoiding wheat)
2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp soda
1 (15 oz) can cream corn
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 large egg whites
2 tsp oil

Preheat oven to 400. Coat an 8-inch square pan with cooking spray.
Combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and soda in a large bowl. Mix well.
Combine creamed corn, buttermilk, egg whites, and oil in another bowl. Mix till blended. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix till blended. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake till toothpick comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cut into 8 squares. 3 WW points per serving.

I really love this cornbread, it is very moist and tasty. If hubby is not eating with me, I only make 1/2 the recipe (4 servings). I will take this to work for lunch tomorrow - mmmmmm GOOD!
