Recipe of the day????

Hey........I have an idea  (THAT could be dangerous!) How about if I post a receipe of the day?   I have collected quite a few, so maybe it would be fun. Everyone else would be welcome to post also, and before long, we will all have a cookbook full! Here is one for those in the pureed stage:

Vanilla Egg Custard 4 large eggs 1 cup skim milk 1 1/2 cups evaporated low-fat or non-fat milk 1/2 cup splenda granular 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Pinch of salt Freshly grated nutmeg Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Place 6 custard cups or ramekins in a large roasting pan and set aside. Whisk together the eggs, milk, evaporated milk, splenda, vanilla and salt. Pour through a fine mesh sieve (strainer) into a large measuring cup. Divide evenly amoung the custard cups and grate the nutmeg over each one. Pour enough ho****er in the roasting pan to come about halfway up the sides of the custard cups. Bake 25-35 minutes, until the custards are just set in the center. Carefully remove the custards from the water bath and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve chilled.

 

And here is one for those farther out:

Crock Pot Beef Stroganoff Out of : 200 Low-Carb Slow Cooker Recipes 2 pounds beef round, cut into 1" cubes ( I use chuck ) 1 large onion 8 ounces canned, sliced, mushrooms undrained 14 ounces canned beef broth 1 teaspoon beef bouillon concentrate 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon paprika 8 ounces cream cheese ( light or regular ) 8 ounces sour cream ( light or regular ) Put the beef in your slow cooker. Put the onion on top, then dump in the mushrooms, liquid and all. In a bowl, mix the beef broth with the bouillon, Worcestershire sauce, and the paprika. Pour into the slow cooker. Cover the slow cooker, set it to low, and let it cook for 8 to 10 hours. When the time's up, cut the cream cheese into cubes and stir it into the mixture in the slow cooker until melted. Stir in the sour cream. Serve over your choice of carbs (faux mashed potatoes would be a good low carb choice).

Great idea Dawn! I just hopped on here to tell Lucy I found a recipe to bring to her party. It also would be a good idea to add protein count ( if known). I'll add a recipe now. I'm thinking about bringing it to Lucy's. Taco Vegetable Soup 1# of lean ground turkey 2-16oz. bags of frozen vegetables 1 pkg. of taco seasoning 1-49oz. can of chicken broth 1-16oz. jar of salsa Baked tortilla chips (optional) Tabasco (optional) Spray a slow cooker with nonfat cooking spray In slow cooker, mix together the turkey, veggies, taco seasoning,broth and salsa. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. If desired, serve with crushed bake tortilla chips on top of each serving. If you like spicy add a few drops of tabasco. Makes 12-1cup servings Calories:118   Protein:11g

Dawn, my dear this is a great idea. I will put my thinking cap on in the next few days and see what I can come up with. I have a bunch of recipes from my support group a few months ago. I of course will give credit where I can so I do not appear like the recipe writer. Chris
