Topic: Hammie Sammies
Hammie Sammies were one of my favorite things before starting this journey. My biggest dilemma was the coleslaw. My families version of hammie sammies has to have the coleslaw to meet the flavor profile.
The old recipe:
Hoagie bun
Quality sliced ham
2 slices of cheese, (swiss, havarti, muenster are all good choices)
2 slices of tomato
Topped with coleslaw
The new recipe:
3 oz Quality Ham (at least 97% fat free)
1 oz Low fat cheese slices (same choices as above if you can find a reduced fat cheese in those flavors)
tomato slices
coleslaw made with 2 teaspoons of lemon juice and 1 T fat free miracle whip per 1 cup of slaw
Portabello or ****ake mushroom caps can serve as the bread
Deconstructed version:
3 oz Ham (diced)
1 oz Cheese (diced)
1 cup diced tomato
1 cup prepared slaw (prepared as above)
heat the ham and cheese
add the tomato
top with the slaw
This give you the same flavor profile sans bread

Topic: RE: very dry cake
Hi, I'm an italian nutritionist. I'm sorry but I can't help you with the cake, but I can give you a good (and light) mediterranen recipe.
Zucchini & ricotta pasta
For 4 persons:
Pasta short type (eg, rigatoni, fusilli, macaroni): 320g
Ricotta cheese cow: 125g
Parmesan or grana: 60g
2 large zucchini
Extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons
Boil water and salt it. Cut the zucchini into thin slices and throw them into boiling water with pasta.
Meanwhile, in a non-stick pan, melt the ricotta, mixed with the parmesan, adding some 'of the pasta cooking water, until creamy.
Drain the pasta and zucchini, skip everything in the pan with the
cream cheese, adding the oil.
Nutritional information per serving:
calories: 439
Protein: 16.38 g (14.91%)
fat: 8.64 g (27.15%)
Carbohydrates: 67.95 g (58%)
If you add a serving of vegetables seasoned with a teaspoon of oil are about the calories of the meal. If you want, is very well without adding oil. This will save about 45 calories per serving

Topic: RE: Protein ball recipe issue...
I found this on OH. Try this recipe:
CHEESECAKE PROTEIN BALL RECIPE©
OKAY!
Instead of PB, use Cream Cheese!!!! Instead of Cocao Powder, use chopped almonds or macadamia nuts! Add some vanilla extract for a yummy taste!!!
Want more of a cheesecake consistency?!?!??! ADD one EGG, 1 tablespoon of flour with pure vanilla extract... Bake at 350 for about 10-12 minutes.. COOL and ENJOY!!! Want a little bit of fruit with it?!?!?!
ADD 1/4 tablespoon of 100% Real Fruit jam (I love the blackberry 100% preserves...What a heavenly treat...curbs the sweet craving AND is good for you!!
Each 1" protein ball has about 10 grams of protein (give or take a gram if you use more or less of the PB or Cream Cheese)... and if you use 100% complex carbohydrate cereal such as Rice Crispies or Granola, it can bump up the protein AND fiber!!!
When I make these (I still do at 5 years post!!), I have to tell my kids to STAY AWAY FROM EM! LOL
Hope this helps!! Just eating 4 a day can easily at 40 grams of protein!! Add this with some lean turkey or tuna and you will easily surpass your daily requirement!!

Topic: RE: Got lots of pears... anyone have any suggestions?
It's reduced to about half...so about 1 1/2 cups.
A can of pears would be approx two large fresh pears, I'm guessing! And they aren't as "liquidy" as canned, so it might not take as long to get them reduced that far. Basically cook down until it's as thick as you'd like it!
With so many fresh you could experiment with different flavors...I'm so jealous! Plain vanilla bean, cinnamon, or add a sf Torani/Davinci syrup like caramel or butter rum...endless possibilitites!!

Topic: RE: Got lots of pears... anyone have any suggestions?
Mmm! Sounds delicious!
How much does it end up making after it reduces? I can make bunches and freeze, I'm betting!

I have a Pear Butter that is super yummy in Greek yogurt, on low-carb pancakes, stirred into ricotta, or on an occasional piece of toast. It freezes great...wouldn't use a LOT of pears, but some!

Topic: RE: what to do with Banana"s
I peel and quarter the bananas , stick on a wax-paper lined baking sheet and freeze solid - they don't have to be covered. Then put them in ziploc bags and they will be perfect for shakes or anything else you need them for.
(I don't like them any riper than yellow with a few brown spots\ for shakes or "ice cream". If they are more ripe they are watery in those recipes. The SUPER ripe ones stick around in the freezer for banana bread or cake!)
I also have several cheesecake recipes on my blog. Look on the right hand side under Recipies and there is a section there. Hope you find something you love!!
