Actually, I just finished the second smoothie, and it was pretty tasty with the lime and pineapple. Admittedly, I halved the kale and celery and cucumber, because I accidentally doubled the spinach in the first one, and I added lime juice to taste, but I wouldn't label it "torture". If you doubt me, you can try one of the…

Does it really taste like lasagna? Like, does the zucchini really take on a noodle-y texture?

I'm open to trying new things, and it's only three days. I'm doing this on the weekend, because I didn't want to be at work with unpleasant side effects, in case my system is not used to this. If there's a good smoothie recipe, I figure I can add it to my collection, since I usually blend up some fruit and yogurt for…

OK, so texture-wise, the gelatin worked perfectly. But taste-wise, it's better in a pudding texture for some reason. In the more solid form, maybe because of the cocoa powder, it tastes a little chalky... But good to know I don't need the standard sugar for the gelatin to work. Maybe you knew that already, but I'm working…

Any word on how many ounces or grams this container of light silken tofu is?

Do you think I could just use cocoa powder instead of protein powder? I mean, I know it would no longer be protein bars, but would it still come out OK?

Funny you should ask - first time I made this dish, and I think it's delicious. I am pausing to type this with a bowlful in front my computer right this moment, in fact. Ingredients: Servings: 4-6 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 3/4 cup chopped onion 3 cups water 2 cups diced zucchini 1 cup diced carrot, peeled 1 cup…

Pictures??

Frozen banana chocolate ice cream Freeze banana. Break frozen banana into chunks into a blender. Add cocoa powder (I use a tablespoon). Blend until an ice cream-like consistency.

Here's an easy one. Good basic sugar cookie. 1 cup butter ¾ confectioner’s sugar 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour Cream butter with sugar until very smooth and fluffy. Add flour and mix in with fingers to form dough. Place dough on lightly-floured pastry cloth and roll out to 1/4-inch thickness; no thinner. Cut with cookie…

What can I use if I don't have flaxseed?

Awesome! Looks gluten-free too. Do you have any pictures?

HEY, also 26 until December. Getting old... T.T

Darn I guess it is my diet; I prefer the whites over the yolks too. Although I do eat my share of leafy greens and beans... Thanks for the list. :)

I often "bake" potatoes in the microwave and sprinkle green onions atop the tomatoes, ham, cheese, and plain nonfat yogurt (=sour cream flavor). I also enjoy them in soup and tofu salad (tofu, tomatoes, shoyu, lettuce, carrots, green onion).

My dad tends to eat up the bananas for lunch or snack, but when there are leftovers, these are some of my favorite things to do with them... - mash into 1/4 c. oats and microwave for a minute (good with peanut butter spread over it, or choc chips mixed in) - freeze, throw chopped into blender with tablespoon cocoa and…

I just made this with kale, and actually did a blind taste test on my dad. The conversation went something like this: Me: OK, dad, what is this? (puts kale chip in father's mouth) Dad: (chews) potato chip!

By the way, some of the stuff I've tried for my meal management class is posted at www.mealmanagement.blogspot.com with pictures. Only the successful experiments.:tongue: Again, they're all healthy stuff, since the public school food policies are so restrictive. By the way, I'd appreciate any suggestions for beverages as…

Oooh, sounds like a winner. Seems to be within the caloric, fat, and sugar restrictions. Now to pray that none of my kids are allergic to nuts or milk... :wink: Thanks!

Oohh, those do look good...but the saturated fat is at 2.3 grams, and I have to stay below 2 grams...:cry:

That does sound good... But, I can't leave it in the oven overnight. I have five other classes...>v<

I just tried the banana ice cream thing yesterday; it was awesome. :D

It is really good. I've tried something similar with bananas and honey. The avocados really just add a great creamy texture. I like avocados to begin with though. My aunty always makes an avocado jello dessert in which she mixes lime jello with pureed avocado and layers it with a cream cheese mixture on a shortbread crust.…

Entering the ingredients into the food tracker tool here, it said 106 calories.

Majunta's right about the T thing, and I believe you can also use mashed bananas as an egg substitute in baking.

On the positive side, my orthopedist said I'm now free to lift whatever. He literally said I could lift 100 lbs if I wanted (which I never could anyway; that's like my own weight), bend, and twist. The issue now is that I also had to get a permanent pacemaker as a result of the accident (seatbelt force fractured my sternum…

As an update, I tried a Chinese herbal recipe that I found worked really well on me. I drank this one night, and the day after, I wasn't as tired or drained as before. The second time I drank it, the following day I felt completely recovered; no cold symptoms at all. Ingredients garlic ginger thyme lemon honey Directions…

Wow, that was a wake-up drink! I think if it weren't apple-cider vinegar, but just white vinegar, it might have been nasty, but the vinegar gave the drink a tartness kind of like lemons, while the apply-honey flavor came out more. Probably helps that I like vinegar-flavored things. :drinker:

Thanks for the recommendations. Still sick. The soup recipe looks good (too bad I don't have red wine vinegar). But I do have apple cider vinegar, so maybe I'll try that Canadian remedy. I'll let you know how it works out. :drinker:

Well, I halved the recipe and it made 4 standard sized muffins (and by "standard", I mean not mini, but not thosecommercial-sized monsters either). Sorry, I don't know how many calories per muffin. My doctor wants me to gain body fat, so I've given up calorie-counting. What matters is that it's all good-for-you stuff!…
