Thai Tempeh with Veggies

This is what I will be throwing in the crockpot tomorrow morning. Kinda. This is another recipe from the Weight Watchers Slow Cook-it Cook Book.

This recipe is 8 points a serving.  Because I don't have tempeh just laying around, I'm going to substitute 8 oz of chicken breast which will lower the point value to 7 points.

Chile Con Queso

I'm not sure if the rule here is for tested and approved recipes, but I've spotted this one and I'm really looking forward to trying it.


Ingredients:
- 1 10-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
- 1/2 cup diced Anaheim chilies
- 1/2 cup light ale beer
- 1 3/4 cups reduced fat shredded sharp Cheddar
- 1 1/4 cups skim milk
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 2 tsp lime juice
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder

Directions:
Spray a large saucepan with non fat cooking spray and set over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft and beginning to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add beer and cook until reduced slightly, about 1 minute. Add 1 cup milk and bring to a simmer.
Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1/4 cup milk and cornstarch in a small bowl. Add to the pan and cook, stirring vigorously, until bubbling and thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, add cheese and cook, stirring, until melted. Stir in drained tomatoes, chilies, lime juice, salt, pepper, cilantro, green onions, chili powder and cumin . Serve warm, garnished with a bit of cilantro.
