Chicken Enchilada Casserole

1 pound uncooked chicken, cubed
1 cup lower fat sour cream
1 jar taco sauce or enchilada sauce
12 corn tortillas or tostadas
1cup sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Combine chicken and sour cream.

Pour 1/2 of jar of sauce in bottom of 9x13 nonstick pan. Top with 4 tortillas, then 1/2 the chicken mix, and 1/2 of the cheese.  Top with 4 tortillas, the last chicken mix, and the other half of the cheese. Top it off with the 4 remaining tortillas and pour the other 1/2 jar of sauce on top.

Bake 35 minutes.

I topped it all with some extra cheese because cheese is gooooooood. :) Another recipe from my low fat cooking class that is pretty remarkable. How can it be so tasty with hardly any ingredients in it!? Yummers.

Homemade Tomato Sauce

Looking for an amazingly easy and quick homemade tomato sauce?  Look no further.  This was part of my low fat cooking class with my slight modification.

1/2 red onion, chopped
2 tsp minced garlic
15 oz diced tomatoes (no salt added)
8 oz tomato sauce (no salt added)
6 oz tomato paste (no salt added)
1/4 cup fresh basil (or slightly less of basil paste)

If you'd like it to be a beef sauce - add another 8 oz of tomato sauce and a pound of cooked ground beef.

Cook the onion and garlic to your liking.  Add everything else and simmer for 10-15 minutes.  If you want it a bit sweeter add a bit of sugar (Tbsp or so).

Done.
Yum.

Breakfast Pasta

1 package silken tofu (any firmness)
4 eggs
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp black pepper
other seasonings of your choice
6 slices diced cooked bacon
6oz cooked Fettuccine noodles

While you are frying your bacon and cooking your noodles blend the tofu, eggs, cheese and spices until smooth.

Add fettuccine to a large frying pan that is hot.  Add the tofu mix and cook until the eggs are set.

This recipe is from a low fat cooking class. I personally found it bland but super good the next day.  My recommendation is to make it and put it in the fridge for the next day to eat!  Not exactly what you were hoping for? Me neither but there it is!
