Day 1 Dinner Recipe

So for dinner last night I wanted something quick and easy as well as low calorie and low fat.  I found this recipes of the SparkPeople website for Grilled Cheese Pizza Sandwich.  The hubs was actually on board with my choice and even helped make it as I made Hutto Grape Salad.

Grilled Cheese Pizza Sandwich

Ingredients
2 slices mixed grain bread
2 tbsps marinara sauce
1/4 c mozzarella cheese (low moisture, part skim)
1 tsp shredded parmesan
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions
Spread 1 tbsp of the marinara sauce on each piece of bread.  Spread mozzarella cheese evenly on side with sauce on first piece of bread.  Sprinkle parmesan cheese over mozzarella.  Top with second piece of bread sauce side down.  Place in a heated pan and cook until cheese inside is melted and bread is golden brown.  Makes one (1) serving

Hutto Grape Salad

Ingredients
1 pkg green grapes
1 pkg red grapes (seedless)
1 pkg 8 oz cream cheese (I used fat free)
1 c sour cream (I used fat free here as well)
1/2 c sugar
1 sm pkg chopped pecans
Cinnamon
Brown Sugar

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In a large bowl mix cream cheese, sour cream and sugar together until well blend.  While that is mixing spread pecans on a cookie sheet.  Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon over pecans.  Put in oven and toast (I had mine in there for 7 minutes).  Once cream cheese/sour cream mixture is well blended add grapes.  Hand mix grapes into mixture.  Add more grapes if there is an abundance of mixture coating the grapes. 

Sprinkle mixture/grapes with the toasted pecan mixture.  Serve and enjoy! 

Serving size 10
