Easy Gluten-free Crab Rangoon


  
Easy Gluten Free Crab RangoonsMy husband made these for me for my birthday and they were awesome!

1 1/2 t. plain Greek yogurt
8 oz. Neufchatel cheese or low fat cream cheese, softened
1/2 t. Worcestershire sauce
1 can (6 oz) fancy white crab meat, rinsed and drained
1-2 green onion, finely diced
Gluten free Tortilla Scoops

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a medium bowl, beat together the first 4 ingredients.  Add the crab meat and green onions; mix until combined.  Arrange 24 scoops onto a cookie sheet and spoon about a teaspoonful of the crab mixture into each scoop.  Bake in preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until tops just begin to lightly brown.  Serve hot.

This is one of my favorite recipes from Weight Watchers.

3/4 c. uncooked quinoa
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 T. rice vinegar
2 T. orange marmalade
2 t. dark sesame oil
1 T. fresh minced ginger
1 c. shredded carrots
1 c. shredded red cabbage
1 small red pepper, thinly sliced
3 T. fresh chopped cilantro
2 T. thinly sliced scallions
1 T. toasted sesame seeds

In a small saucepan, combine broth and quinoa; bring to a boil over high heat.  Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 10 minutes.  Meanwhile to make the dressing, in a small bowl whisk together vinegar, marmalade, oil, ginger, and salt; set aside.  After quinoa has cooked for 15 minutes, remove pan from heat and stir in carrots, cabbage, peppers, and dressing; mix thoroughly.  Garnish with cilantro, scallions, and sesame seeds.  Serve warm or chilled.
