Have you tried Al Dente Pasta (its a protein egg noodle that is reduced in carbs and has protein) or Miracle Noodles which are 100% fiber and zero calories?

Some days your the dog and some days your the hydrant.

Topic: excellent protein/cottage cheese fluff

I have seen it on this website before, but it's a really good source of protein and oh so tasty...

2 small cans of mandarin oranges (or 1 large can)
1 small box sugar free jello orange flavored
1 8 oz container of low fat cottage cheese
1 container of fat free cool whip thawed

In a small saucepan heat the oranges to a near boil, remove from heat and add the jello..stir until completely dissolved...

In a medium sized bowl, add the cottage cheese and cool whip, afer the fruit mixture cools slightly, add it to the cottage cheese mixture and mix well. Mixture will be very runny but will firm up and set in the fridge. Refrigerate for at least two hrs. Enjoy.

I make this with several different jello/fruit combinations but this one is my absolute favorite!

Topic: RE: I need recipe ideas for ground turkey

When I cook my ground turkey I add an little worshichire sauce, garlic powder and season salt.

Here is something I make that my family just loves!! I usually have to make a double batch so everyone can have some for the next day too.

1 lb ground turkey
1 can 98% fat free cream of mushroom
1 can nacho cheese from campbells
fat free shredded cheese (any kind)
small bag of hash browns

brown ground turkey (I use season salt, and garlic poweder to season) add both cans of soup one the meat is cooked thoughly. mix soups and meat pour into a baking pan, sprinkle with cheese, then add your hash browns on top.

Put in the oven at about 425 for about 25 minues.

My famly loves it. and most don't even realize it is pretty much fat free.

Topic: RE: I need some food ideas.

I took some chicken breast and cooked it through boiling it in chicken broth then diced it up and added it to a blender with some roasted veggies and used that for easy digesting. You will want to puree it for a while, but it will go down as easy as a smoothie - if you are looking for drinking. If you want something thicker - use a food processor and chop it that way till its small. Add stuff to this and you can have a "chicken salad" - grapes, nuts, avocado, beans - whatever you want to have the consistancy that is good for you. Don't forget to add the herbs and I love to throw some either fresh or roasted garlic in the mix.

Have fun!

Topic: RE: sugar free spaghetti sauce?

It took reading every jar in the store but the Tomato & Basil flavor by Classico is sugar-free and delicious!

Topic: I need some food ideas.

I am currently in the ground meat stage and will be for another three weeks. I am already sick of ground turkey. What else can I be eating right now? Do any of you have some good recipe ideas?
