Topic: perfect portion size
The other night I had cooked a spaghetti squash for dinner and had some left over.....
I put a tablespoon full of the squash in each one of my muffin cups...then I added a teaspoon of skim ricotta and then I put a teaspoon of tomato soup over the ricotta..I sprinkled a lil parmesan cheese and garlic salt over the top and then started my layers again...baked it for 35 mins at 400 and it made the perfect portion sizes and it freezes beautifully!

I puree them and make cucumber soup...onions, cucumbers, lil light mayo and a bit of milk...makes a yummy soup! I also cut them into thirds and hollow them out with a melon baller and fill them with crab salad or shrimp salad...really good and my hubby loves them

It might be b/c of the cream cheese. I never have problems with it being too wet when I use PB. Sorry its not coming out for you 
Topic: RE: ISO: Vitamin Salad (Cottage Cheese Based)
My mom made one similar called "5-cup salad" I'm not sure if this is exactly the way hers was made, but similar:

Note: no cottage cheese. Guess you could use cottage cheese in place of the sour cream. My mom's didn't have cottage cheese either. I'm sure she used the sour cream.
Anyway... lol

sounds good.. i have seen that recipe. i will ask my mom. she might have it.
what i do if i dont want to eat plain cottage cheese is i put some dry jello in my 1/2 c serving of cottage cheese.

OR...I've also got a great Tzatziki sauce that's scrumptious on everything. I use it to top burgers, or even as salad dressing.

Topic: lots od cucumbers?
What can I do with "cucumbers"? Something different maybe? I make cucumbers and onions, eat them raw, pickle them. Anyone have some recipes for me?

Topic: Protein ball recipe issue...
Hi, I found the recipes for the protein balls,, since I am not a fan of peanut butter i used cream cheese instead... well, the 'mix' comes out way too wet, and anything I coat the balls in just dissolves.. is it because i'm using cream cheese? i even kept adding protein powder but it just stayed frosting like consistency?? anyone have any suggestions?
I used 8oz cream cheese, 11/2 cupschocolate protein powder, pkt splenda,1/4 teaspn almond extract, mixed with my kitchen aide then rolled them into balls and thencoated with cocoa powder with some splenda but they're still 'wet'. last batch i kept adding protein powder but no imporvement!1
