Topic: RE: Oven Baked Fries---questions

I couldn't do it because I am very sensitive to carbs and potatoes are carbs. The thing to watch is will it set you up for craving fries again? and will you be able to eat 6 the next time? then more and more? For me cravings aren't usually satisfied,eating the craved food makes me want to eat more of it.

You may be different.you may be able to eat 5 fries without a problem. I guess you will know if they become a problem. IMHO

Topic: RE: what was your favourite pureed meal?

Ricotta with marinara
Refried beans with reduced fat cheese
I also liked taking a lil bit of ham, tad of low fat mayo and relish and mixing it in my magic bullet for ham salad....

Topic: Oven Baked Fries---questions

I have been craving some french fries for quite some time (probably since day one of liquid diet) :-)
Do you think a few oven baked fries will be ok?
I have found some recipes for home made oven baked fries or I can buy some at the store and eat some. I am talking about no more than 5 fries (that is if I can eat that many---because I eat my protein first).

My reasoning is that we can have baked and mashed potatoes so an oven baked french fry should be okay too...right???

Any recipes ideas for some oven baked fries?

Topic: Sweet yogurt mini tarts with apple ginger topping

Sweet yogurt mini tarts with apple-ginger topping Yield: 12 tarts 4 sheets phyllo pastry Canola oil cooking spray Topping 1 tbsp canola oil 1 cup finely diced Granny smith apples, unpeeled 2 tbsp dried tart cherries 1 tbsp granulated artificial sweetener 1 tsp grated ginger root 1 tsp vanilla Dash of salt Filling ½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt 1 tbsp granulated artificial sweetener ½ tsp vanilla Directions:

Preheat oven to 375F.
To make phyllo tart shells, defrost phyllo pastry. Lay one sheet of pastry on countertop and spray with canola oil. Place second sheet of phyllo pastry over top. Continue layering and spraying with oil, until there are 4 layers of pastry. Cut pastry squares 3 x 3 inch.
Lightly spray 2 mini muffin pans. Line each muffin cup with one square of pastry, alternating sups so there ther is enough room for the pastry. Place six 4-layer phyllo pastry squares into each muffin pan. Bake cups for 5 minutes or until nicely browned.
To prepare topping: In medium non-stick skillet, heat canola oil over medium heat until hot. Add apples and cherries and cook 3 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Stir in remaining topping ingredients.
To prepare filling: In small bowl, whisk together yogurt, sweetener and vanilla. Set aside.
At time of serving, spoon equal amounts of yogurt mixture (about 1 ½ tsp) in each of the 12 mini tarts. Top each with equal amounts of apple mixture (about 2 tsp) on top of each tart. Serve immediately.

Topic: Creamy Pumpkin Mousse

This is a delish dessert that can make a great snack also. I’m having it as a snack as I’m typing. Mmmmm! It’s also acceptable for those who are on a pureed diet- possibly even a liquid diet. Ask your nutritionist to be sure.

It makes one serving of between 1/2 c and 3/4 cup. Each serving has less than 150 calories, 2 grams of fat, and 10 grams of protein. There are 12 grams of sugar from the cottage cheese and pumpkin. Usually 10 grams of sugar is my limit, but these types of sugars don’t bother me as much.

1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese
1/4 cup pure pumpkin puree
about 1-2 tbsp fat free milk
1/2 tbsp sugar free instant cheesecake pudding mix
1-2 tbsp Ideal no calorie brown sugar sweetener (to taste)
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Mix it all up in a blender and enjoy!

PS. At 12 months out, I couldn’t finish this in one serving- even with as soft as it is. I think it was due to the sweetness. Feel free to cut your serving in half.

Loving my new life! I'm ever so grateful...
