Topic: RE: Cookie or Brownie Recipe Anyone?

Pillsbury has sugar free brownies & cake mixes (yellow & choc), all tasty & not dry like some diet stuff can be. I found a recipe for pumpkin cookies -1 box yellow cake mix 1 can 15 oz pumpkin 2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice, I added a bit of splenda brown sugar (no eggs, water or oil) mix then drop by spoon onto baking sheet or parchment paper bake at 350 for about 16-18 minutes and you get big fluffy cookies but they are kinda ugly and you could easily add protein, choc chips or nuts. I can eat about 1.5 coz they're kind of big but it takes care of a crave and everyone likes them. My first attempt I made mix as directed & added the other stuff-they come out flatter & sorta chewy-but everyone liked them too!

Topic: RE: Tofu recipes wanted

Here are a couple sites that have some interesting recipes...

Also keep in mind that there are different textures of tofu. The softer kind can be used to blend in shakes or dips. The firm/extra firm cuts up nice and can be used like meat. Tofu doesn't have much of a taste but absorbs a lot of flavor from what it's mixed with.

I just made a batch of this using the recipe on the back of the McCormick's White Bean Chicken Chili seasoning, replacing the cup of water with cup of chicken broth and added a can of no salt added diced tomatoes. It tastes fantastic and has great nutrition!

Topic: RE: sautéed tomatoes with poached egg

Thank you!! I have had difficulties with eggs since surgery, but this was INCREDIBLE!! I have had it several times over the last 2 weeks and each time seems better than the one before! I even drop in a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese - a little extra protein!

Thank you for sharing!
