Peanut butter cheesecake spread!

Okay - I got a little sick of eating the Fat Free Philly cream cheese. Yes, it's better than the other brands, but it's still a bit harsh on the tongue. So I decided to experiment today and it was FANTASTIC! I had maybe half a container left which is roughly 6 or 7 tablespoons of ff cream cheese. Then I took a couple tablespoons of peanut butter, mixed it in well and added about 4 packets of Splenda (I like it sweet). Then I took it and spread it thick on a Corn thin cake (like a rice cake but half the thickness). This was just nothing short of spectacular! The coolest thing is that it's still low in fat and chock full of protein - yet it tastes like dessert! I'm taking this stuff to work tonight. Yummers! Were I to have eaten the whole thing, it would have been 23 grams of protein, 280 calories 16 grams of fat and 9 grams of carbs, 2 of which are fiber. And the best part is I had maybe 1/3 of that at most and it was so satisfying. I also don't think I used a whole 2 tbsp of peanut butter for that amount, but it's hard to say since I was eyeballing. Anyway, wanted to share so you peanut butter lovers who get yourselves into trouble by eating too much of it can get a fix with less impact! Dina

OMG! I love you! Can you come up and be my personal chef? My two favorite things.....peanut butter and cream cheese! Who woulda thought it? Leave to the "Dining Diva Dina" to come up with this one. I was at Trader Joes's the other day....and noticed Endame beans (raw soy beans) are 9 grams of protein in half a cup. Since I"m pre-op, I don't know yet if that would be too much food. But I thought it would be a good, healthy thing to snack on. The bad part is that they're REALLY good with a little salt on them with a beer! lol Anyway, thank you for the great recipe! Michele

Dining Diva Dina....I like it!!! As for the beans, soy beans are higher in protein and fiber than the other kinds, so if you're going to do them, those are the best. But I have stayed away from them for the most part. I just want to get in the highest protein possible, and unfortunately that just isn't going to do it good enough for me. Dina

Okay, Tried this out tonight.....a new addiction! But I could have worse ones! lol That and the shredded parmesan cheese crisps I found on another site...both are "muy delicioso!" I'm going to have to start printing these off and make a cookbook for myself! Michele

Where do you get corn cakes? Are they near the rice cakes? Does Freddy's carry them?
