There was this recipe a while back on making pizza crust out of "riced" cauliflower. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/130577-you-asked-for-it-cauli-crust-pizza-pics?page=5 I must admit I was very skeptical of this recipe but went ahead and tried it. It's really good! Low carbs too. I put pizza sauce, turkey…

You can make wonderful low fat dips using 1% cottage cheese. Puree it in a food processor until smooth. Add a little low fat milk until you get the consistency you like. Add Onion Soup mix, and you have a ice onion dip. Add chopped dill pickles, pickle juice and fresh dill for another. Chili sauce and canned baby shrimp.…

And you can save about $10 bucks a day bringing your own. That's $2640 a year!

I'll bet these will be wonderful with prosciutto. You could also try different cheeses like provolone and even Swiss. Also, you could try different sauces, like marinara. Thanks for inspiring me.

I just made this again tonight. I was lucky and found fresh cranberries at grocery store today. The batch I made in November kept in the refrigerator until it ran out last week. This is really a great recipe for diabetics. I like mine a little on the tart side so I only put in 3/4 cup of Splenda. Thanks for the variations…

The database is becoming too large and is unwieldy. I wish there was a way to get just the MFP information first and then the user generated entries.

I wasn't sure how to "rice" cauliflower, but I found a good video here: http://video.about.com/lowcarbdiets/Low-Carb-Cauliflower-Rice.htm

This recipe doesn't make 2-1/4 cups. It only makes 13 ounces. I guess thats because Splenda doesn't have the volume of sugar. Sorry for the mistake. It's still good though, and the nutritional information is even better based on 13 1-ounce servings: 21 calories; 6g carbs; 0 fat; 0 protein; 45g sodium; 1g fiber

Nutritional information for this recipe; 24 servings Serving size 16.6g Calories 36 Fat 0.5g Chol 15mg Sodium 5mg Carbs 7.4g Fiber 0.5g Sugars 4.7g Protein 1.0g You could substitute Splenda for the sugar and save 312 calories for the entire recipe! Using unsweetened applesauce saves another 40. That way you could add some…

Roasted Cauliflower Soup (This quick and easy soup tastes like a cream soup without the cream!) 12 ounces of cauliflower 1 medium onion 2 teaspoons of olive oil 2 14.5 ounce cans of low fat chicken broth Salt and pepper to taste Place cauliflower (break into florets) and onion (sliced) on a baking sheet and drizzle with 2…

I love hummus. Fantastic World Foods hummus mix is delicious and costs far less than prepared hummus. Look for it in the health food section of your supermarket. You just add olive oil and water. 2 tablespoons has 60 calories, 2g fat, and 7g carbs. You can add all kinds of flavorings like garlic, onion, roaster peppers,…

I had it tonight again. It reminds me of bread pudding.

According to Wikipedia "The spaghetti squash (Cucurbita pepo) (also called vegetable spaghetti, noodle squash, spaghetti marrow (in the UK)" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghetti_squash I put a little basil pesto and toasted pine nuts on mine. Even the leftovers are wonderful!

I made this. It's VERY good. I worked out the nutritional information: Makes 1 ½ cups Serving Size: 1 Tablespoon = 29 calories, 3 carbs, 1 fat, 1 protein, 1 fiber

Cannellini beans are a variety of white beans popular in Central and Southern Italy, particularly in Tuscany. Other names for the bean include white kidney bean and fazolia bean. They are nice and creamy. I buy the S&W brand Canellini beans at Safeway. If you cant find them, sub Great Northern beans.

WOW!!! Thanks, I've been looking for a recipe like this for some time.

I worked out the nutritional information using the Recipe Calculator 1/6 of the cake is: 151 calories 19 carbs 5 g fat 6 protein 143 sodium (using 1/4 teaspoon of salt) 1 fiber

Here's a recipe for homemade pizza sauce I developed by combining elements of several other recipes I found on the web. Tom's Pizza Sauce 1 (10 ounce) can tomato puree 1/2 cup water 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon anchovy paste (optional) 1 tablespoon onion flakes…

I don't think there is a way to import recipes from this forum. So I just copy and paste the recipe into a word processor document, save it to my computer, and send it as an attachment.

For the scrambled eggs, I just add some chunky salsa.

An Elvis sandwich or the Elvis, consists of toasted bread slices with peanut butter, sliced banana, and fried bacon. Honey is sometimes included. The sandwich is frequently cooked in a pan or on a griddle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peanut_butter,_banana_and_bacon_sandwich

Whipped Peter Pan peanut butter has 30% less calories than regular PB.

Simply bake it. I buy a large fillet and cut it in two or three pieces. Olive oil both sides, and add seasoning salt and pepper on top. Place skin side down on rimed cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Bake it at 450F for about twenty minutes, until it flakes. Don't overcook! Cooking time varies…

"Does anyone know where I can buy a new glass/plastic top for a crockpot? I want one now and don't want to wait to order one." Amazon has some pot lids, in silicone, glass and metal, but you said you didn't want to wait. So I would check my existing pot lids and see if one of them fits. If it does, go to a store like…
