Wanting to put together a family friedly cookbook for WLS

Hey everyone, I have a 10, 7 and 1 year old.  My biggest problem has been finding family friendly recipes and snack ideas.  I am in the process of putting together a cookbook for other WLS patients and was looking for some new ideas.  Let me know if you have a recipe or snack idea.  Thanks!!!!  Monica   [email protected]

 

My whole family loved this one:

The cheese forms kind of a crispy "pizza" crust.  Deep Dish Quiche Pizza 4 servings (I got 8 out of mine)  Crust Ingredients:

 

4 ounces cream cheese (I used low fat) Three eggs 1/4 cup parmesan cheese 1/3 cup heavy cream 1/2 teaspoon oregano 2 cups shredded Italian cheese (mozzarella, romano, parm mix - or your choice) 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

 

Top with:

 

1/4 cup low sugar or sugar free pizza sauce 1 cup shredded mozzarella pizza toppings of your choosing (my daughter used pepperoni and sausage)

 

(I like "white pizza" so I used garlic, fresh spinach, chunks of portabella, shrimp and fake crabmeat.) Preparation Method: 1) Beat cream cheese and eggs until smooth. Add cream, parmesan and spice. Spray 13 x 9-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

 

(We used two round cake pans) 2) Put 2-cups pizza cheese in dish and pour egg mixture over. "Squish" around to mix. Bake at 375-degrees for 30-40 minutes until well browned. 3) Remove from oven and cool for about 5 min. Spread on pizza sauce, sprinkle on mozzarella, and layer with toppings. 4) Bake about ten minutes in 375-degree oven until the toppings are bubbly and brown. 

 

(It took longer for the two to bake, almost 15 minutes, and they were not browned.)
