Oh, baby... Reese's were always my favorite!

I've got a lot of dessert/cookie/cake recipes that use chocolate - it's a food group, you know.

Just and FYI: I also use a new sugar replacer called Whey Low. I've baked for years with it for my diabetic father in law and step dad. They've never had a problem using it, and three out of three WLS RNY'ers in my family have never dumped on it. Super stuff...(and no, I don't work for them. I WISH. Should own stock at the very least.)

They have a diabetic blend, but it's not as great as the granular - definitely not as sweet and things don't turn out as well. The regular granular works beautifully. I explain about when and where I use Splenda or Whey Low here:

Topic: Quinoa Burgers - recipe

These have been a big hit, so far!

Quinoa does have a high carb count, but it also has quite a bit of protein, for a grain/seed. I do dump oatmeal and white rice, but have never had a problem with quinoa.

Topic: I NEED chocolate!

My dad is a harsh diabetic and LOVES his Reese's Penaut Butter Cups. He'll have three in one day!!!
So I need sugar free recipes for chocolate :)

Topic: RE: need recipe for thanksgiving

I don't like marshmallow on my sweet potatoes, but you can order SF marshmallows on line.
I wouls just mash the sweet potatoes, add a little butter, a little splenda and maybe some SF carmel syrup. top with a few chopped pecans and bake until heated through.

Does anyone know a good version af the sweet potatoe casserole-you know the one that has sweet potatoes, brown sugar,pecans,and marshmallows on top?
I had RNY 10/13/10 and am on soft solids. I really love the sweet potatoe casserole and would love to be able to make a WLS compatable version.

Topic: RE: greek yogurt as... whipped cream??

Sure! But the texture will be thicker and heavier than what we assoc. for a whipped topping.

Another idea which I know works -- I have a recipie somewhere in my box at home, I'll see if I can dig it out and get it to you. But I used to make a marangue with whipped egg whites or powdered egg whites and use spenda and some kind of flavored syrup. This will give you the light foamy texture we associate with whipped toppings minus the fats... but also adds a bit of protein too! My mom does this but then folds in a ff/ sf pudding to give it more of a "mousse" texture.
You can get the powdered egg whites in many baking sections of the grocery store and sometimes even Hobby Lobby carries it in the cake decorating section as it's used in some frosting recipies to give a "hardening" option to frosting.
