DIET RECIPES ONLY

I stumbled onto this sight today & no, it's not me.

I'm sorry...I scanned the page without really reading or clicking...and after I posted, went back. I couldn't get the samples to come up either...don't think I'd buy the book. Next time I'll read the site carefully before posting. "Haste makes waste". (Oh well, seemed like a good thing at first glance).

 

There is a chicken and rib "rub" that is carb free - you can get it at Wal-Mart. It is soooooo yummy on meat that is grilled or baked.

Also, if you want a mousse that is awesome - mix some sugar free chocolate pudding with Carb free milk, cream cheese and some whipped cream. You can make a crust our of grated nuts, or put them on top. YUMMMM.

 

Sue asked me to post this recipe. It contains flour, but you might try it with soy flour to cut carbs more. But if you aren't going to consume a lot of it carbs are going to be minimal.


Cheese sauce

depends on how much sauce you want, how many people will be eating the meal as to how much ingredients you'll need, you can't hardly mess it up.

On medium low heat, Melt 3T margarine(or butter) in sauce pan, mix in 2T. flour(I use the wondra flour for thickening because it doesn't lump up) mix well. Start off with 1 cup milk and water mixed(you could use all low carb milk, or all milk, but I usually go half water half milk) pour in slowly and whisk the mixture at the same time. Add more liquid as needed, you want a nice pourable sauce. Add cheese, shredded or sliced, whatever you have, I have mixed 4 cheese at one time and it was wonderful, how much is up to you, just how cheesy do you want it to taste. Stir till melted to keep it from sticking. I added a little salt, not much and pinch of pepper, and about 1/2 t. of ground dry mustard. You can easily adjust how much sauce or how thick.

 

A treat of something thats a favorite on occasion can help keep you on track with your diet. You don't feel deprived.

 

Remember that website that offered 2 free recipe samples, but it wouldn't work? It did today.

I make a strawberry or blueberry "fluff" that I really like. I use cream cheese, splenda, and cool whip - beat it up til its fluffy, add strawberries or blueberries, stir and refrigerate. It counts as 3 carbs per serving.

 

Sue try a little curry powder in that chicken salad, curry chciken salad is really good.

Anyone have any eggplant recipes?
We started eating eggplant last summer when the lady at teh farmers market told me about her eggplant parmesean recipes, now we are addicted to it.

 

Sounds good Sue.
Mom's recipe passed down from her mother's family(from the middle east). Slice the eggplant(I do the salt thing to get rid of some of the bitterness), cook ground beef with onion, salt, pepper, garlic, and my favorite allspice. Layer half the eggplant in a casserole put the meat on top, then the rest of the eggplant. Top it with a can of tomatoe sauce, and a can of crushed tomatoes. Then bake till the eggplant is cooked.

 

WOW... Praise God that he sent you to me. I am on the South Beach Diet. And of course it is Low Carb/NO sugar diet. And you gave me alot of links that I can work around. Thank you Lord for sending me this wonderful sister in Christ.
