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!! :)

Topic: I need my protein to fill me up...suggestions?
I am currently drinking a powdered protein mixed in with my coffee and a variety of flavors added as I desire. However, I do not find it satisfying like I do a ready to drink protein such as Atkins. Does anyone have any recipes or suggestions? I want to stay with my protein powder, I just need a new way of preparing it that is more fulfilling.
Thanks for any advice and/or suggestions!

I have a hard time digesting a bunch of cabbage at once so I chop it up and make a casserole out of it for the cabbage rolls..
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.

ok so they smelled REALLY good...but the taste...hmm..I can't even describe the taste, the only thing it made me want to do was brush my teeth really badly..lol My husband liked them ( but that isn't saying much, he will eat anything that isn't a vegetable..lol)
Maybe others will like them, i think I just couldn't get past knowing that they were made with black beans
