Oh bummer. Were they like a moist fudgy texture? That's how I have them envisioned anyway? Not good huh? Thanks for being brave enough to make them and report back.

Topic: Pilsbury Sugar free cake/frosting
I made the Pilbury sugar free chocolate cake mix and frosting last night. I used applesauce istead of oil to lower the fat and calories. It was actually very good.. It doesn't taste 100% like the regular ones but it's a nice substitute. I am going to try the vanilla ones next and use different flavors to flavor up the frosting...I am excited to try the next ones.

Cabbage Casserole
1 lb of ground beef
1/2 head of cabbage chopped
1 tbp spray butter
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can rotel diced tomatoes
mozarella cheese
1 cup quinoa
1 can beef or chicken broth low sodium..
preheat overn to 350 deg
put 1 cup quinoa in a sauce pan..add the broth and boil...let simmer for 10 - 15 mins (as directed on box)
Brown the ground beef..in a separate pan, add chopped cabbage with the spray butter..cover and let it coo****il wilted...drain the gound beef and add to the cabbage pan...add both cans of tomatoes and the quinoa...cook for 2 mins until all the flavors have combined...
put the mixture in a baking dish..top with cheese and bake for 20 mins...everything is cooked so you are really just letting the flavors fully combine and letting the cheese melt..
My family loves it..I add the rotel because my husband and son like a lil heat...but if you don't like spice at all then just two cans of the tomates will also work....the quinoa is not low carb but it's lower than rice and I can't eat a whole lot of it at one time.

Topic: RE: I need my protein to fill me up...suggestions?
I make my protein shakes in the blender with milk and I also add in stuff such as fruit, peanut butter, sugar free jellies/jams, sf jell-o pudding (helps to thicken the shake into a milkshake consistency,) sf syrups etc. Maybe try adding in some fruit or peanut butter to your shakes? I know that when I add PB I feel a little bit more full. I've also heard of people adding in some fiber to their shakes and that helps fill them up but I've never tried that myself so I'm not sure if it works or not.
Best of luck! =)

Oh bummer! That stinks they didn't come out as good as you hoped. Pillsbury, who makes SF cake mixes, just came out with a SF brownie mix!! I have yet to see it in any stores but I look each time I go! The minute I see that mix in the store I am going to buy a few and make them! I'm thinking of also adding a scoop of chocolate protein powder to them as well!! :)
