Chicken & Corn Chowder

This is another recipe I just threw together with ingredients I had on hand.  It turned out really yummy!  I plugged the ingredients into the recipe app on Fitness Pal and a one cup serving comes out to 219 calories and only 19 carbs.  I will definitely be making it again in the future.

Ingredients:

• 1 - 12 oz. Bag Frozen Sweet Corn
• 1 - 15 oz. Can Sweet White Corn
• 2 - 12.5 oz. Canned Chicken Breast, Drained
• 4 Cups Chicken Broth
• 1 Block Cream Cheese
• 1 Packet Taco Seasoning
• 1 Packet Dry Ranch Dip/Dressing Mix
• 1/2 tsp. Ground Red Pepper

Directions:

• Place all ingredients in crock pot on high.  Cook for at least 4 hours.  Stir occasionally to break up and blend cream cheese.

Pepperoni Pizza Spaghetti Squash

I came up with this recipe last night.  I had originally planned to make a spaghetti squash pizza crust from a recipe I found on Pinterest, but it was going to require more time than I had.

Ingredients:

• 1 spaghetti squash, cooked
• 1 jar pizza sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• about 24 (more or less) pepperonis, quartered 

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Spray a 9 x 13 dish/pan with cooking spray.
• Remove the squash from it's skin and spread in the bottom of dish/pan.
• Sprinkle a handful of cheese over squash.
• Sprinkle on half the pepperonis.
• Pour pizza sauce over the pepperonis.
• Sprinkle the rest of the pepperonis over the pizza sauce.
• Top with the rest of the cheese.
• Place a few whole pepperonis on top to finish off.
• Cook for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and starts to brown a bit.

This received the seal of approval from my guys so  I guess it was a success!
