Low Fat Oyster Stew Recipe

Oysters. I love oysters. So when I started thinking about all of the food my parents used to make i remembered my dad creating a batch of oyster stew and I needed to figure out a way to make it healthy. For this recipe we'll use blended cottage cheese, skim milk, a can of oysters and their juice and a few ground up oysters for the base, and halved oysters and potatoes to finish off the stew. Total fat in this recipe is 4g TOTAL - all coming from the oysters which are loaded with healthy omega 3 fatty acids so the fat is healthy! Add in a few saltine crackers (if your nutrition plan allows you) and you have good, hearty, healthy oyster stew!
