THIS JUST IN - I have created steakbutterpasta OUT OF CAULIFLOWER! You are welcome.

WINNING!

Shouldn't this thread be called "Hurt People Problems"?

Hahahaha! This made me laugh. Above me - professional twerker :P

That's close. Person above me: Sushi chef.

Adding you! Great idea!

Ohh, pick me! Pick me! Height: 5'11" SW: 207 (Pregnant/Daughter in Dec. 2013) CW: 179 GW: 155-160 and nicely toned! Yay for tall girls!

I ordered a double mesh strainer from Amazon to make greek style from this, will report back on results!

I think it must condense slightly, but not much - I feel like I get about 1/2 gallon of yogurt when i do 1/2 gallon of milk. I usually eat the batch in a week between the hubs and I, so not too sure on how long it keeps from personal experience - but I have read about two weeks.

Thanks for the tips - the original recipe I found called for 1/2 cup starter, I will try with less! :)

I am fine with the egg whites, I was wondering if anyone has tried it omitting the yolk part.

Oh! Just remembered zucchini noodles - I bought a spiral slicer and make all my "pasta" out of zucchini or yellow squash.

I have made cauliflower "rice" - use it all the time as a substitute for regular rice. I started mixing 1/2 and 1/2 ground turkey and TVP when something calls for ground beef to cut fat and calories - don't even notice a difference in taste for recipes. Lettuce leaves filled with taco fixings instead of tortillas or…

I am 5'11. My goal weight is 150 and TONED!

I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/Nostalgia-Electrics-ICMP-400BLUE-4-Quart-Electric/dp/B003FA830G 24 bucks, free shipping, works GREAT!

I used whey, other posters have used soy. I don't think it matters unless you are using the kind that is powdered egg white protein - then it would just be all egg. :)

Make chicken fajitas, but instead of tortillas, roll up your fillings up in large romaine leaves. SO GOOD!

Also found this - http://theveganmouse.blogspot.com/2010/12/tofurky-pizza-and-buffalo-bbq-tofu.html with a photo - they look good like that, cut into chicken finger shapes, tossed with panko and baked! Much better than fried. I will go plug the stats into MFP and see how they work out that way.

Awesome! Going to try as a pizza base and if it works, will take pictures!

http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=316813 Tofu hot wings! If you get extra firm tofu, freeze and then thaw it, it firms it up and tastes very meaty. Your stats can be kept super low, depending on your sauce!

Tonight is chocolate/raspberry, I think. Raspberries are on sale near me!

Yes, it's a regular ice cream maker - has an inner canister with a mixing paddle and a big outer bucket where the ice/salt goes. The pumpkin mixture I made tonight takes about 25-30 mins to freeze. I just started it when we sat down to eat dinner and it was done when we were.

Here is tonight's creation (all the pumpkin threads made me want to try something pumpkin!) Pumpkin Cheesecake Frozen Yogurt 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (60 cals) 2 tbsp jello sugar free cheesecake pudding (the powder, not the prepared pudding!) (50 cals) 1 5oz container of fat free honey greek yogurt (130 cals) 1/2 cup…

It came with one. The recipes do not look MFP friendly - yummy, yes, but way over my allowances!

Go back! Go back! this thing is seriously going to save my weightloss.

This one: http://www.amazon.com/Nostalgia-Electrics-ICMP-400BLUE-4-Quart-Electric/dp/B003FA830G/ref=sr_1_5?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1346992205&sr=1-5 Inexpensive, but it worked GREAT! Shipping was free (I also got a spiral slicer to make zucchini into pasta) and I love both gadgets.

I just ate some, thanks to this thread! Mixed in a bowl - 1 cup canned pure pumpkin, 2 packets splenda, 1 tsp pie spice, a splash of 0-cal caramel extract. Warmed for about 20 secs in the microwave, poured on 1/2 cup of cold, unsweetened almond milk. 55 calories total and it was AWESOME.

I am terrible at taking pics of my food - I usually eat it before I think of it. I will try and snap a pic next time!

Drinking one right now! I did add 1/4 tsp of Watkins All Natural Caramel Extract (which is zero calories, but adds a HUGE kick of buttery caramel flavor!) I purchased the caramel extract at walmart, in the baking aisle, by the vanilla and other extracts.
