So what's a girl to do when you crave a certain flavor but need to get in your allotment of veggies and not too many high fat and calorie carbs? I made veggie "lasagna" with all those lovely fresh veggies from my refrigerator! How can you go wrong with such a big slice for only 2 Weight Watchers Points Plus????<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Slice broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, mushrooms and asparagus into thin slices. (I also sliced the carrots into thin long strips like I did the eggplant.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Arrange one layer of eggplant slices (1/2 of the slices only) over the pasta sauce that is in the baking dish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Arrange/sprinkle half of the other vegetables over the eggplant slices. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7. Layer remaining eggplant slices and cover with remaining vegetables.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8. Pour remaining pasta sauce evenly over the top of the veggies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
9. Sprinkle remaining parmesan and the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozzarella" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Mozzarella">mozzarella</a> over the top.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10. Bake at 350 degrees covered with foil for 40 - 45 minutes. Uncover dish and bake for an additional 15 - 20 minutes. Dish is finished with the sauce is bubbly and the cheese begins to slightly brown on the top.</div>

</div>
I have a ton of fresh veggies on hand right now so I've been trying to come up with recipes where I can use a large variety of them together. This recipe combined 5 different vegetables in one dish! The spices blended well together and the dish was very moist and tasty.<br />
<br />
If you are concerned about the sodium content in the mixes, you can always substitute with homemade versions of both seasoning mixes. I added no additional salt or seasonings to this dish and found it seasoned just to my liking!<br />

Red curry flavor to be exact. I have a favorite Thai restaurant that I like to visit here in St. Louis, but I'm sure it isn't a very healthy dish. Since I'm doing Weight Watchers, I decided I needed to figure out how to make a lighter version of my all time favorite <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_curry" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Red curry">red curry</a> dish.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I substituted light coconut milk in the recipe as well as brown rice instead of white rice. In the restaurant, they serve this with a huge scoop of rice, but it is the red curry sauce I'm in love with anyway, so I cut the rice portion way back to save some points.</div>

<br /></div>
Adjust the amount of red curry paste you add to this recipe based on how hot you like your food. I would consider this dish to be a on the low end of the medium hotness scale made as outlined above. You may add less if you prefer a mild flavor, or may wish to add more to make this hot. I like mine extra hot, but I prefer to make it according to the recipe, and add some red pepper paste to my serving to warm it up a bit. Sriracha sauce would taste nice with this as well. <br />
<br />
This dish is also excellent with sliced beef or shrimp as a substitute for the chicken.<br />

<br />
A few weeks ago I realized that my crock pot crock was cracked clear through. I knew that it was time to buy a new one. I have been doing research to find just what I wanted. I figured I would have this one for a while since it was replacing the one I've had for 20 years!<br />
<br />
I considered buying one that had 3 different size interchangeable crocks (2 qt, 4 qt and 6 qt) as I liked the flexibility of the different sizes. It would operate on low, high or warm setting for all 3 crock sizes. It was like getting 3 for the price of one. As tempting as that was, what I realized was I really could benefit from a programmable crock pot. I am gone about 10 hours each day and sometimes my crock pot recipes would get a little over done even on low leaving it on that many hours. <br />
<br />
One of my work colleagues said she had one that she really liked. It has a retractable cord, cool touch exterior and a lock in place lid so it is convenient to take it with you. And it doesn't have a ceramic/pottery insert. . .it's a non-stick metal insert. She has been amused by all the research I have been doing on crock pots, so she emailed me a picture of hers and a description. Today, she even sent me a link to the manufacturers website.<br />
<br />
I love that it has multiple pre-programmed settings on it. You can adjust the cook time and temperature as needed, and once it completes the cooking cycle, it automatically will switch to the warm mode. Now that was speaking my language!<br />
<br />
I stopped on my way home and made my purchase! I got home, washed that puppy up and then ran a 30 minute cycle with water to make sure it was operating properly. <br />
<br />
I couldn't wait to try it out, so here is what I put in the crock pot to cook overnight. That was an accident. . .Oops. I meant to have it all prepared in a gallon size <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.ziploc.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Ziploc">Ziploc</a> bag to place in the crock in the morning, but silly me, I added the diet soda to it while I was prepping it. Now, if you have never tried this before, I will tell you. . .You can't add the soda to the prepped ingredients the night before! It will explode in your refrigerator due to the carbonation.<br />
<br />
As soon as I poured it in I realized what I had done, so I had no choice but cook the recipe overnight. Oh, well. . .I think I know what I will be having for lunch now!<br />

Here is my pick from this week's party.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I never have enough time in the morning to prepare a good breakfast. I need something that I can grab on the run. Lately I've been trying to prepare something the night before. I made these a long time ago and remembered how good they were so I decided to make up a bunch of these tonight. Just grab a couple of them, zap in the microwave until warm and out the door you go. No need for utensils! And this recipe is actually healthy, so that's a plus. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

*Although I used spinach and mushrooms, you can substitute any veggie of your choice in this recipe. It is especially good with red and green peppers with onions, or with broccoli. Sometimes I even add a small can of chopped green chiles to give it a real southwestern taste.<br />
<br />
These can be frozen and thawed in the microwave as needed. I usually just keep them in the fridge as they don't last that long!<br />

Its a bonus that they are a healthy fat. I like when I can add something to my diet and not feel guilty about it. I stopped at the store on the way home and found avocados for only $0.35 each! So you know I snagged as many ripe ones as I could get my hands on!<br />
<br />
Earlier today, I went to the St. Louis Go Red for Women American Heart Association luncheon. They had a fairly healthy lunch with a grilled chicken topped salad with a raspberry vinaigrette, but that little bitty chocolate mousse dessert was calling my name, so I just had to eat it! Unfortunately, that means I am just about all out of my <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.weightwatchers.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Weight Watchers">Weight Watchers points</a> for today, so I decided to have a healthy salad for dinner. Instead of just cutting up part of an avocado on top of it, I decided to make an oil free salad dressing with one of them.<br />
<br />
I really enjoyed it and I hope you do too.<br />

<br />
I have a recipe for a corn and crawfish chowder that I absolutely love. Only two problems. . .a few of the ingredients are difficult to find in St. Louis at this time of the year, and the recipe is not very healthy. So I decided to remake the recipe into a healthier version.<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy the healthy version of this as much as I did!<br />

<h3>
<u><i>Ingredients:</i></u></h3>

<h3>
<i><u>Directions:</u></i></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Heat dutch oven and olive oil over medium heat. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Add pepper (white, black and cayenne), bay leaves, thyme and salt.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Stir in the bacon and ham and cook for 1 minute.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. Add the carrots, potatoes and corn kernels. Mix well and cook for 2 - 3 minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7. Add the creamed corn and cook 1 minute.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8. Stir in the chicken stock and bring to a slow boil.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
9. Reduce heat to medium low, cover & simmer 20 minutes or until carrots and potatoes are tender.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
13. Serve in a bowl and top with green onions, if desired.</div>
<br />
This will have a nice peppery heat to it. If you don't like your foods quite so spicy, just reduce the amount of white, black and cayenne pepper you use in your recipe.<br />

It revolves around when the wise men brought gifts to Baby Jesus after his birth. It was a time of celebration with lots of food and gifts and was known as the "Twelfth Night Celebration" or the "The <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphany_%28holiday%29" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Epiphany (holiday)">Feast of the Epiphany</a>".</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: 17.325000762939453px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: 17.325000762939453px;">This celebration begins about 12 days after Christmas (January 6th), which is about </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.328125px;">47 days prior to Easter Sunday and is known as Mardi Gras. <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mardi_Gras" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Mardi Gras">Fat Tuesday</a> closes the Mardi Gras celebration as it is always celebrated the day before Ash Wednesday (Lent). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: 17.325000762939453px;">During the Mardi Gras season, a special cake is baked in honor of the three wise kings. . .which is how the King Cake gets its name. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: 17.325000762939453px;">Inside each cake is a small baby, usually made of plastic, and is suppose to represent the Baby Jesus. Historically, the baby was sometimes made of porcelain or gold. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: 17.325000762939453px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: 17.325000762939453px;">The cake is typically a ring of dough in an oval shape that is decorated with green, purple and gold icing and decoration. That would be your basic King Cake. Many bakeries these days make much more elaborate cakes that are filled with anything from praline, cream cheese and/or fruit. Once the cinnamon dough has been braided and baked, the plastic baby is inserted prior to the decorative icing and sugar sprinkles being applied.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: 17.325000762939453px;"><br /></span>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: 17.325000762939453px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: 17.325000762939453px;">Each person who attends a King Cake "Party" gets a slice of the cake. The person who receives the piece with the baby in it is suppose to be blessed with luck during the coming year and is asked to host the next year's King Cake Party and to supply the King Cake.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: 17.325000762939453px;"><br /></span></span></span>

No worries! Most bakeries will ship them for you. You can even get a King Cake themed UPS box for the shipment! This one was iced prior to shipping, so the icing doesn't look great, but it still tastes good. I understand they will now ship them without the icing already on it and you can apply it once you receive your package.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: 17.325000762939453px;"><br /></span></span></span>

She is from the New Orleans area. Her mom, Leslie, shipped this to her while she was away at college so she could still participate in her home town tradition. Isn't that sweet? She even received a boa, Mardi Gras beads and mask to go with her King Cake!</span></span></span><br />

<br />
Sorry, but its a Cajun expression. And today that's exactly what I did! My friend, Phillip was making gumbo so I went to watch him cook and partake a few hours later when it was finished. It was extremely tasty, but the company of Phillip and his girlfriend, Amy, was even better!<br />
<br />
Phillip agreed to be my guest chef today. Phillip was born in Northern Louisiana and is a true Cajun boy. He happens to be a fine cook too! Here is his recipe and some photos of the gumbo makin' process. It was mighty good. Y'all missed out, you hear dat?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-64akfIEUudA/UQXcL-o2PUI/AAAAAAAAFT8/ENp3gKJd9I8/s1600/IMG_1011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-64akfIEUudA/UQXcL-o2PUI/AAAAAAAAFT8/ENp3gKJd9I8/s640/IMG_1011.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><h2><em><u><span style="font-size: x-large;">Ingredients:</span></u></em></h2>1 1/2 cups vegetable oil<br />

3 cloves of garlic, minced<br />
1 large onion, minced<br />
1 large bell pepper, chopped<br />
1/2 cup celery, diced<br />
1 bag frozen okra<br />
3 lbs andouille sausage cut into 1/4 inch pieces<br />
1 whole chicken, cooked and shredded<br />
3 bay leaves<br />
1/2 tsp. white pepper<br />
1 tsp. black pepper<br />
1/2 tsp. Cajun seasoning (our pick is Slap Ya Mama)<br />
1 tsp. salt<br />
12 cups chicken stock<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1/4 tsp. filé</span> plus extra for each bowl<br />

cooked rice<br />
<br />
<h2><u><em><span style="font-size: x-large;">Directions:</span></em></u></h2><h3><em><u>Prep:</u></em></h3><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">1. According to Phillip, the first step is to open a beer of your choice </div><div style="text-align: center;">and have a drink.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">2. In a small skillet, add a drizzle of oil and the frozen okra. This step is necessary as okra has a tendency to have a "slimy" texture if this step is skipped. Heat over </div><div style="text-align: center;">medium heat until okra has been thawed and heated through </div><div style="text-align: center;">(about 5 - 7 minutes).</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">3. Make sure to chop/mince/shred/slice all vegetables and meat in advance. <br />
It is extremely helpful if you can find someone to assist you as your <br />
sous chef while you start on the next section. <br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">*note: If you are time restricted or just want a shortcut, you can always buy a rotisserie chicken if you don't want to take the time to cook your own, and you can buy the vegetables from the produce department or salad bar of your local market already chopped for you. </div><br />

(preferably cast iron), add the oil. <br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">9. Add chicken stock to dutch oven.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PqUyHzKvZDw/UQXb-_Dhz4I/AAAAAAAAFTI/j-1l9WIDY1o/s1600/IMG_1016.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="346" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PqUyHzKvZDw/UQXb-_Dhz4I/AAAAAAAAFTI/j-1l9WIDY1o/s400/IMG_1016.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">10. Cook over medium high heat until it starts to simmer then reduce to <br />
medium-low to medium heat.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5h7hMVhXfE8/UQXcDZpAmbI/AAAAAAAAFTc/dA1Ckbmmwig/s1600/IMG_0998.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5h7hMVhXfE8/UQXcDZpAmbI/AAAAAAAAFTc/dA1Ckbmmwig/s400/IMG_0998.JPG" width="343" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">11. Add meat and additional seasoning (if desired). It may be necessary to transfer mixture to a larger stock pot at this point as this makes a fairly large recipe.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ynpzp2O4_V8/UQXcG3zaPVI/AAAAAAAAFTo/BnmjSJFlNf0/s1600/IMG_1002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ynpzp2O4_V8/UQXcG3zaPVI/AAAAAAAAFTo/BnmjSJFlNf0/s400/IMG_1002.JPG" width="370" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">12. Cook over medium low heat for a minimum of 1 hour. Best if left to simmer closer to 2 hours. The vegetables will soften and cook down during this time.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">13. Skim off any oil that has risen to the top of the gumbo and discard.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">14. Add approximately 1/4 tsp of filé and mix well.</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZkL5HbtBSdQ/UQXcKIvCZ3I/AAAAAAAAFT0/2ydo_kHBYME/s1600/IMG_1009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZkL5HbtBSdQ/UQXcKIvCZ3I/AAAAAAAAFT0/2ydo_kHBYME/s400/IMG_1009.JPG" width="336" /></a></div><br />
15. Serve over rice with a sprinkle of filé on top and a thick chunk of French bread on the side. We used brown rice and it was quite delicious! My recommendation, 5 minute rice just doesn't cut it. Take the time and cook the traditional long cook rice. You will be glad you did!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RBQVEUYPDrQ/UQXcLHidNWI/AAAAAAAAFT4/X5ULTvxcxvg/s1600/IMG_1010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RBQVEUYPDrQ/UQXcLHidNWI/AAAAAAAAFT4/X5ULTvxcxvg/s400/IMG_1010.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br />
FYI - Filé came to us from the American Indians. It is made from the leaves of the sassafras tree and is used to thicken and add a delicate flavor to gumbo and other Cajun dishes.<br />
<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"> It will help get you in the mood for gumbo if you happen to have a Saints hat and wear it while preparing this dish. See how it helped put Phillip in the mood for Gumbo?</div><br />

I have been highly successful on the program in the past. . .mainly because no food is off limits, its just about eating what you like in moderation. I also try to make some healthy substitutions to my meals and recipes.<br />
<br />
This recipe does not use any eggs or oil, instead I used a healthy Greek yogurt along with fruit and fruit juice to make the cake moist and delicious.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy it! It is still possible to have your cake and eat it too! :)<br />
