    1 Can pumpkin, not pumpkin pie mix
    4 eggs
    3/4 cup unsweetend apple sauce
    1 cup Kellogs Allbran cereal
    2 cups flour ( I used 1 cup white and 1 cup wheat)
    2 cups splenda
    2 tsp baking powder
    1 tsp baking soda
    1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
    1/2 tsp cloves
    1/2 tsp ginger
    1/2 tsp nutmeg
    1/2 tsp allspice
    Optional Walnuts 
    Optional Unflavored protein powder (2 scoops)


Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees:
In a large bowl, beat eggs until foamy, add pumpkin, apple sauce and cereal and mix. Sift in flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, spices and splenda and stir to blend. Pour batter into a greased 10" bunt or tube pan. Bake for 1 hour and 10 min. Cool completely before removing from pan. Recipe also makes 48 mini muffins.

Number of Servings: 24

 I made these as mini muffins and took them to the LIPO support group that I attend and they were a HUGE hit.

Topic: RE: sautéed tomatoes with poached egg
I just made another batch this week.

 I just did a recipe search and you are right.   I might try some paprika like one receipe suggested.  I'm not a huge fan of green peppers so I'll leave those out.

Topic: RE: Did anyone find that spices hurt them?
My nutritionist says no leaf spices or black pepper.  Only things like salt, garlic powder, onion powder.  She worries that things like oregano or basil could get stuck in the staples and cause an ulcer.  She suggests making a pouch with the herbs and spices and soaking it in the soup/sauce and then taking it out before eating.  Not everyone gets this advice though.

Topic: Did anyone find that spices hurt them?
Did anyone find that spices were ok to use during the full liquid diet part after surgery?  I do not want to make soup for liquid broth and add spices and then hurt from them when I drink it.
