Appetizer

Blue Cheese Puffs

1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
Dash red pepper
3 eggs
1 3-oz container crumbled blue cheese

Place butter and water in saucepan and bring to a boil.
Remove from heat and add flour and pepper stirring constantly
until smooth. Add eggs and beat well. Stir in cheese and beat
again. Allow mixture to sit for about 10 minutes, then place
tablespoonfuls on a greased baking sheet 2 inches apart. Bake
at 400 degrees for 30 minutes until golden brown.

The Skinny: Use your favorite egg substitute

Main Course

Caramelized Sea Scallops

16 - 20 large sea scallops
2 tsp. chili powder
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 tsp. lemon zest
1 tsp. curry powder
2 Tbsp. brown sugar

Combine chili powder and next 4 ingredients together in a
medium saucepan and cook over low-heat until mixture starts
to thicken. Add scallops and cook on each side until done.
The mixture will start to cling to the scallop and form a thick
layer. To make the layer even thicker, you can pour the scallops
and glaze into a pan and broil them in the oven on low heat,
rotating the scallops in the glaze.

Broccoli Slaw

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 Tbsp. sugar substitute
1 package oriental flavor Ramen noodles
1 pound pre-shredded broccoli
1/2 cup almonds

Combine vegetable oil with vinegar, sugar substitute and the
flavor packet from the noodles and whisk together. Pour over
slaw and top with almonds and the crushed ramen noodles just
before serving.

The Skinny: We had this over the weekend and it was very good.

Dessert

Watergate Salad

1 4-oz package pistachio instant pudding
1 8-oz. can crushed pineapple, undrained
1 9-oz package cool whip, or other whipped topping
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Chill
before serving.

The Skinny: Use fat free cool whip
