Two recipes


What do you call two doctors? A paradox.
What is a word for two low-fat recipes? Not sure. But here they are. The first is for Cajun chicken:

1 garlic clove, or garlic powder to taste
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 large bell pepper, chopped
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
2-3 tbsp. Creole seasoning
4 (8 to 10 oz.) grouper fillets

1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
2. Sauté garlic, onions and bell pepper in olive oil until tender.
3. Add tomato sauce, Creole seasoning, and garlic.
4. Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.
5. Spray pan with non-stick cooking spray. Bake grouper fillets in a non-stick pan at 350° F until half done, about 10 minutes.
6. Pour sauce over fillets and bake for 10 minutes more.
Makes 4 servings.


The second is for BAKED OATMEAL, sent in from a Big Fan (OK, my mother):
2 cups oats
20 oz. unsweetened pineapple
one-fourth c. coconut
one-fourth c. nuts
three-fourths c. raisins
1 Tbsp. vanilla (optional)
1 tsp. salt
4 – 6 cups water
1/8 tsp coconut extract (optional)

Combine all ingredients in given order. Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees. Serves 6.
Enjoy!
