Yep! Post any recipe you want to try and we'll give you the low down :)

The only sub that I would make would be to use malitol brown sugar for the brown sugar. Of course you can use ground turkey or chicken too :) I use 93% lean ground beef a lot though.

I bet your family with love this! Kind of like a sloppy joe.

thanks soo much LIz.. it sounds soo yummy..
its like having mine only lil chef or nut at my fingertips now if you were just here to cook it .. ha ha..

lol you can do it! But that's why I am here - if I can help you to be more confident in the kitchen you'll WANT to cook more becaue you see that you are good at it!

Shauna, one of our resident "non-cookers" has actually made POT ROAST for her family (she's a vegetarian)! She's called me in the midst (which you are welcome to do 610-462-1204) if you run into a problem! Then we just walk right through it.

aww you are sooo very sweet.. I actually made parmasaen crusted chicken tenders tonight you recommended and my family loved it and it was soo nice to eat the same thing as everyone else..

Slenda makes a brown sugar and it's not too bad maybe you can try that. Either way that sounds so yummy!!

CAREFUL of the splenda brown..it is actually only half splenda and half regular brown sugar.  Can cause dumping fairly easily

Like Liz, I would use the malitol brown (order it online, not in stores that I have seen except apparantly there is a supply store I think near Lancaster that does carry one of the brands)

I sub ground turkey or chicken quite often in chilli's and other things like Liz said, too.  Read the labels on the ground turkey....some of the ones in the grocery store actually have MORE fat than 93% lean beef...despite what the outside labels say ("X amount less fat than ground beef"  Generally they are referring to things like 80% ground chuck or something....)  I read somewhere that the higher fat turkeys/chicken ground meats in the super market sometimes grind in some of the skin to keep it moist.....

when Liz says call if you need help she means it. I Have texted her in hysteria on more than one ocassion

If she can talk Shauna through making gravy out of the "juice in the bottom of the crock pot" as Shauna put it, she can do anything over the phone!
