Cheesy- bacon zucchini hasselback




Forgo the potatoes and have this hasselback with zucchini. 
     1 serving 
1 medium size fresh zucchini = 3 greens / 6 oz.  ( I used the vegetable conversion chart to help me)  
Slice 3/4 way through 
1 sliced of low fat cheese / 1 slice is 1 oz = 1/4 lean
1 slice turkey bacon = 1/8 lean/ chopped and cooked before putting on top.

Cut zucchini 3/4 way through, cut cheese in bite size pieces to put in between each zucchini opening 
Top with cooked turkey bacon pieces. 
I also sprinkled just a little garlic powder

bake at 350 for about 20 minutes or till the zucchini is just ala dente. also all depends on the size of your zucchini.

3 greens 
3/8 lean
1/4 condiment  

This  is with turkey pepperoni and provolone cheese. 
       7 slices of turkey pepperoni = 1/8 protein 
        1 provolone cheese slice is 1 oz. = 1/4 lean

Cottage cheese chips

Image
1 serving  Each serving provides  1/2 leaner 1 condiment  3/4 cup 2% cottage cheese  1/2 teaspoon everything but bagel seasoning  Preheat oven to 350. Mixed the 2 items together. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with nonstick spray. Put 1/2 teaspoon mounds on cookie sheet and bake for approximately 8 minutes. Always double check oven because every oven is different. It also depends on if you want them more cooked. Cook just till they start to brown around the edges. Take out of oven; cool just for a minute or so then gently pull off. They will get crispy. Approximately 24 chips but that depends on your size and how many you eat before you count!  As you can see some of mine got very brown experimenting with the correct time in oven.
