Topic: 100 POUNDS with Chocolate Cheesecake Cupcakes!
Woo Hoo! I have lost 100 pounds, and I don't even have to look under the couch to try and find it! Its not hiding on my butt or been added to my hubby's butt! AWESOME! I am now the weight I was when I had my daughter 16 YEARS AGO! I want to celebrate but I'm not sure how, maybe some re-fried beans from taco bell or some sugar free treat from the store. I have not been feeling deprived since discovering those, oh and the sugar free peanut butter cups. My candy in my stocking lasted almost a month. Never had that happen before. I know I should celebrate getting new clothes but I just cant bring myself to do that when I am changing size so fast. Seems like a waste of money to me. Maybe a new bra, MINE DON'T FIT! HAHAH! I feel like I'm on drugs, I'm so happy. I think I will go wake my daughter up and force her to go out with me.

To celebrate here is a version on the Sugar Free Chocolate Cheesecake Cupcakes. The original recipe can be found on BTV.com and has sour cream in it. I gave up sour cream and replaced it with plain greek yogurt so I wanted to see how that worked with this recipe. IT WORKED GREAT! The entire family will love them.


Chocolate Cheesecake Cupcakes


1 box of Pillsbury Sugar Free Devil's Food Cake Mix
1 box of Jello SF FF Cheesecake Pudding Mix
3 eggs or ¾ cup eggbeaters
2 cups of fat free sour cream or greek yogurt
1/3 cup of vegetable oil or you can use applesauce
1/2 cup water

Preheat oven to 350. Place paper liners in cupcake tins (this recipe makes 24 regular-sized cupcakes - I made some mini ones as well). Divide batter among the liners and bake for 15 minutes (slightly less for minis).

I used the eggbeaters, greek yogurt and applesauce and upped the water to 1 cup. It still makes a very thick cake batter. I made 80 mini cupcakes with 1 tablespoon of batter in each cup. I still needed 14 minutes to cook them.


I iced mine with the Pillsbury Sugar Free Chocolate Icing in the can.

Topic: RE: Beef Stew and Noodle Slow Cooker Meal
 This sounds caloric to me. All the cream and gravy. Does this settle ok in your stomach? How much to you eat. Will this meal be enough for 4 people?

Topic: Rachael's Awesome Pumpkin Pie

My daughter created this recipe 10 years ago when she was six. Yes six, she wanted to be a chef when she grew up. That has not changed but she still likes to cook. This recipe has 7.5g of sugar and most of that is milk and pumpkin sugars. It is not one of those fluffy, pudding like pies. It is a real tasting and feeling custard pie. We top ours with the sugar free cool whip. Yum! I had this for Thanksgiving 2 1/2 week out from surgery.

Rachael’s Awesome Pumpkin Pie

 

3/4 cup Splenda granulated

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1 teaspoon nutmeg

2 large eggs or ½ cup eggbeaters

15oz. pumpkin

1 teaspoon vanilla

12 fl. oz. fat free evaporated milk

1 unbaked pie shell

  

Directions:

 

PREHEAT oven to 425̊ F.

 

MIX Splenda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg in small bowl. Beat eggs in large bowl. Stir in pumpkin, vanilla and sugar-spice mixture. Gradually stir in evaporated milk.

 

POUR into pie shell.

 

BAKE for 15 minutes at 425̊ F. Reduce temperature to 350̊ F.; bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for 2 hours. Serve immediately or refrigerate.

Topic: RE: Best Meat Loaf Recipe?
 cheese works very well at taking the place of the oat/bread... other then that i use onion, gr peppers, celery , ketchup, salt pepper and what ever else i feel like also a egg or two depending on amount of meat. i do an egg a pound. cook at 350 for 2-2.5 hours

Topic: RE: Lavash Bread??
I found that Lavash Bread at Super Walmart in my area.  It is big square flat sheets.  But like one of the other posters said, you can use a tortilla too.  Just bake it a bit first to crunch it up a bit before adding any toppings cause otherwise it does get kind of soggy.

Topic: RE: How do you make Protein Coffee
 I really miss cool coffee drinks.  I love plain HOT coffee...but i was missing the cold coffee drinks.  I pour a cup of coffee and put it in the fridge in the morning.  then, for an afternoon protein boost, i add one half scoop of unjury protein powder (10 g of protein) and stir in one package of sweet and low.  Its a 16 ounce coffee mug.  It tastes good and i am used to the smell now.  i havent added to hot coffee yet because im afraid of the clumps.  lol.  i still get my flavored coffee MINUS the fat and calories.  WIN!
