Topic: RE: Sweetened Condensed Milk...
First off, you could start with evaporated milk (let's call that UNsweetened condensed milk).  Alternatively, you could reduce milk to 60% of its original volume so boil 1 cup down to about 1/3 cup.

Now that you have that (1/3 cup of evaporated milk) add about the same amount (1/3 to 1/2 cup) of  sugar equivalent.

Topic: Sweetened Condensed Milk...
My brother in law brought a yummy desert to a picnic over the weekend, but it was LOADED with sugar. I had a half a spoonful just so I could taste it. I can make it pouch friendly but I need help with sweetened condensed milk.....anyone know if I can make my own version that may be pouch friendly so I can make this desert?

Thanks

Topic: RE: Eggplant Parmesan
You can use ground chicken or turkey or even those ground vegetarian tofu. 

Last time I made eggplant parm it had no meat or meat like substance.  There is animal protein from the cheese.

Skipping the meat altogether would be an option as well.

The author of the Weigh****chers friendly "Hungry Girl" cookbooks swears by these noodles, but she also states that you need to use paper towels to make them really, really dry.  Try www.hungrygirl.com to check the recipes and to sign up for daily emails if you'd like.
