Yes, Pillsbury is the only brand that makes SF. They also now have a SF brownie mix ... but have yet to see it in any stores. I am waiting for the day I see it!!

Topic: RE: Crockpot Cheeseburgers

Thank you so much for posting this... I travel with my hubby (he is an over the road trucker) and we are limited on refridgerator space.  Love the face there are just a few ingredients and that it can go in a crockpot.  We plan on going to the store today and I am going to make this.  Beef does not agree with me (very gassy after eating it) so I will use ground turkey.
If you have any other recipes with a few ingredients, please let me know.

Thanks.

Just a note: I listed Pilsbury because it is the only "grocery store" brand of sugar free I have found. If your store caries others, they should work too. I havent tried the gluten free cake mixes. If someone does I would like to know how it turned out.

7 lbs vine ripened tomatoes cut in chunks OR
4 28 oz cans plumIItalian style) tomatoes,drained and coarsley chopped

2 tbsp tomato paste
2 tsp dried oregano
 Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

In a large heavy pan or dutch oven,heat olive oil over medium low heat.Add onions and cook,stirring often,untilsoftened,about 5 min. Add garlic and cook for 30 to 60 seconds. Add tomatoes,tomato paste and oregano.
;bring to a boil.

Turn to low and simmer,uncovered,over low heat,stirring frequently,until the tomatoes cook down to a thick mass. about 45 min. Taste and adjust seasonings. Makes about 5 cups.

Per 1/2 cup

Cals 90
pro 3 gms
fat 3 gms
carbs 18 gms

Doesn't give a fiber total.

Not,I use canned tomatoes and it cooks very quickly. I usually use tomato puree or something that  is already pretty well cooked down.

It is quick and good. I often make a double recipe and freeze the extra. it defrosts quickly and well in the micro.

Good luck,
Holly

Cook some onions and garlic with crushed tomatoes.  Add italian herb mix and maybe some capers and chopped olives.

Not a sugar crystal in sight.

Topic: RE: Friends.. i need your help- PUREE stage
Thank you soooo much for this post.  I made both the sweet and savory ricotta recipes today and put them in a container in my refrigerator so that I can take some a little at a time. 

The only difference was that I mixed the savory ricotta with an egg and baked it to let it set.  (1C ricotta with 1 egg, plus seasonongs)

I just now finally took a little out, added a small amount of sauce and heated it in the microwave.  I think it just saved my sanity!
