Pizza and Bagels

Our favorite pizza ( I ate half of one before I remembered to take a picture!) is Smoked Whitefish. This recipe makes 12 small 5" across - serves 6

Same crust:
1 1/3 cups self rising flour
1 1/3 cups Fage FF Greek yogurt

Preheat oven to 400°

Mix in bowl with rubber spatula. Knead in bowl.

Divide into 12 pieces. Spray parchment paper covered cookie sheet and spread each section of dough into a circle. 4 to a pan. Need 3 pans.

Prebake crust for 10 minutes - let cool

Mix: 6 wedges Laughing Cow cheese with 3/4 cup Fage FF Greek yogurt, 2 TBS Walden Farm's Ranch dressing and sprinkle of Italuan seasoning. Spread on cooled pizza crusts.

Top with Flaked Smoked Whitefish.

Saute onions and peppers. Season with Trader Joe's seasoning.

Mix 1 cup FF Mozzarella and 3/4 cup reduced fat sharp cheddar. Top each pizza.

Grate 1 ounce of Parmesan and grate some more until it maxes the scale without going up in weight. Top the pizza.

At this point if taking somewhere put non stick foil on each sheet. Can stack them.

Preheat oven to 400° uncover and bake a sheet on each rack. About 20 minutes.









The things I missed most were pizza and bagels. Well... no more.  We've had pizza for lunch the last two days and bagels 2 times last week.  We both love them.

Same dough - easy peasy

1 of these pizzas is 3 pts

Bagel

1/4 cup Self Rising Flour

1/4 cup FF Greek Yogurt

Roll into balls and stick your thumb through for the bagel hole

Cover and let rise for 15 minutes

Bake for 25 minutes

One of these bagels (no seasoning) is 2 pts

I just prepped 2 Ingredient Dough - rolled out and put waxed paper between each crust and froze. It worked - however - either thaw the dough before making grilled bread or make sure the griddle is very hot. When using for Pizza I prebake the dough for a few minutes so it can be frozen when you do that. I weigh each piece before rolling them out. Each one weighs 1.6 oz which is 1 point.

It was perfect to dip into two easy over eggs.

Smoked Whitefish Dip

We bought smoked whitefish at the Saginaw Farmer's Market. I made a dip that turned out delicious. Pat ate the Triscuits as well as veggies with the dip. I just ate the veggies with the dip.

Blueberry Compote

This is so yummy on the cheesecake. It makes 11 servings at 0 pts. It also would be great mixed into Fat Free Greek yogurt or on pancakes I put it into little cups and put half into a Rubbermaid container in the freezer.

Update:

Tried raspberry too and made another blueberry - so delicious. Used frozen raspberries and a pint of fresh at the end. Also skimmed the foam off the top before adding cornstarch.

Cheesecake

This is really good cheesecake.

Preheat oven to 350°
Spray pie dish with Pam

3 cups FF Greek Yogurt  (I use Fage because it is so thick and creamy)
3 eggs
1 TBS Vanilla
1 TBS Truvia or other sweetener
1  small pkg  (3.4 oz) Jello Pudding Cheesecake flavor
Optional 1/4 cup PB2

Note: For chocolate cheesecake change PB2 to chocolate PB2, 1/2 chocolate pudding and 1/2 cheesecake pudding mix, and add 1/4 c Hershey cocoa.

Mix all Ingredients. Pour into pie dish. Smooth out the top to be even. Bake 30 minutes. Turn off oven and let cool in unopened oven. Cover with plastic or press and seal and refrigerate several hours or overnight. We like it with fresh blueberries.

Shrimp Alfredo

My fixes worked - this was not only delicious, it looked good too.

I had a manual spiralizer, but I didn't use it very often because it was difficult to use. Yesterday we went to Bed, Bath and Beyond to buy another one that looked easier to use. But when Pat saw the attachment for the Kitchenaid he talked me into spending $100.

It was such a good buy!

Easy to use.

Last night I tried to make Shrimp Alfredo. It was delicious, but it curdled right after I took this picture. So I went to the Internet hoping to find a fix.

So... here is my hopeful fix. Bill, Amy, Jim and Jan are going to be my victims.

2 Smart Points Potato Salad

When I saw homemade potato salad was 6 points for a half a cup I almost cried. I love potato salad! I started writing out a recipe and knew I could improve it. I knew I would use my new favorite dressing - 0 points. But... it is quite sweet. I needed something to cut through it.  I thought about vinegar or lemon but didn't want those tastes.

Greek Yogurt!

I figured the more free vegetables I put in the salad the more I could eat.

5 Potatoes

3 hard boiled eggs

1 cup celery

1/2 cup onion

1 1/2 cups cucumber 

1/2 cup green pepper

Cut up everything.

Salt, Pepper, Mrs. Dash, Dill over all.

Mix 1 container Greek yogurt and 1/2 cup dressing. Sprinkle in dill. Mix into salad.

It made 8 cups. 2 Freestyle Smart Pts. Per cup. Yum!

Pat loved it too!
