Topic: RE: Protein shakes with greek yogurt
Hey... Not sure about the Greek style yogurt. I think it has a bit more fat than others. I would suggest making your own yogurt ;-) It's really easy and cheaper too. A really good thing about making your own is that you have the power to control how much fat you have in it.

I use water, whole milk powder, a teeny bit of sugar and vanilla essence. I also NEVER run out.

With regard to recipes... try froxen berries with a little scoop of low fat hot chocolate powder. Soooo good.

Hope this helps :-)

Topic: RE: Subs for Mayo ??
In some recipes, greek yogurt is a good substitute..I wouldn't spread it on a sandwich or anything as a sub but if there are other ingredients like the ones listed above it should be a great substitute!

Topic: Subs for Mayo ??
  I'm hoping some of you seasoned chefs can help me.

I have a recipe that calls for both mayo and sour cream.  I'm ok with using FF sour cream, but is there anything I can sub in for the mayo?  What would you use?  I'm listing the recipe below with the link for the original post.  I read through the comments in the post, but I didn't see anyone subbing the mayo.

6 Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
16 oz can of artichokes (I'm subbing spinach)
1/2 c. mayo
1/2 c. sour cream
1 c. parmesan cheese (I'm subbing Mozzarella probably)
garlic - I'm adding
onion powder - I'm adding

Heat oven to 350
Place meat in greased casserol dish
Mix other ingredients and spread over chicken
Bake for 40 min

 How about...chicken wraps with veggies inside such as orange peppers, cucumbers, green peppers, onions

Perhaps a huge pot of chili or homemade vegetable beef soup with lots of fresh veggies

maybe a fruit platter with fresh pineapple, kiwi, strawberries, grapes, cutie/tangerines

cheese ball with wheat crackers

platter with turkey slices, low fat cheese, pickles, olives

Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only TRUE FRIENDS will leave footprints in your heart...And may that friendship have such a ONENESS that when one weeps the other will taste salt...Friends are like balloons ; once you let them go you can't get them back....So I'm going to tie you to my heart so I never lose you.

Topic: RE: Noodles made from peanut butter for those that know how to cook
On the other hand, if one cannot tolerate gluten which is in most pastas, the peanut butter pasta does sound interesting.
I stopped eating red meat and drinking sodas and coffee and went from eating pasta 4 times a year to 3 or 4 times a week with only chichen and fish and veggies, salads, and rice.  I dropped 10% or my body weight but with each passing day, the pain crept higher and higher in my extremities.  After 4 years of medical "I don't know what you have but it's not . . . ., " i was finally diagnosed with celiac sprue.  Once i eliminated the gluten, i gained an additional 60% of my body weight.  And not matter what i do, i cannot move the scale downward.  I am gaining about 8 pounds a year.
the thought of pad tai with peanut butter noodles just sounded so good, even if it is molecular gastronomy.
so i hope if anyone does have the recipe, he or she will post it.
I have a sister and two co-workers who have had the surgery.

Topic: RE: Butternut Squash Soup
 Thanks for this great recipe. I made made something similar. Instead of the Greek yoghurt I used a can of chickpeas,liquidated. I'm 3 days post-opso still on very thin liquids. I don't really know how to calculate the nutritional difference when you add in the chickpeas, but it doesn't change the taste much, and definitely adds to the protein content. 

Just thought I'd throw my 2cents in here - hope you don't mind. I will definitely be using this recipe in the future. 

Thanks again
