Topic: Mock Rice Pudding...YUMMY, YUMMY!!!!!!
1 small box sugar/fat free instant Vanilla pudding
1/2 c whipping cream or lite cool whip
1 8 oz container low fat cottage cheese
raisins
cinnamon

Mix the box of vanilla pudding with 1.75 c low fat mil****il thickened; about 3 minutes; add the container of cottage cheese.  Sprnkle about 1/8 tsp cinnamon onto mixture.

In a separate bowl, whip the whipping cream until thick and fold into the pudding/cottage cheese  mix.  If you are using Cool Whip, fold directly into the pudding/cottage cheese.

If you like soft raisins, add them into the mixture and adjust the cinnamon.

If you like chewy raisins, dust the top of the mixture with cinnamon and sprinkle raisins on top.

Refrigerate until ready to serve.  Total time to make about 3 minutes!!!  Yummy

Topic: RE: Protein shakes with greek yogurt
I like greek yogurt in protein shakes that are fruity tasting. I took note from Bariatricfoodie.blogspot.com about freezing greek yogurt in ice cube trays and adding the ice cubes to your shakes. I like to mix 0% plain greek yogurt with SF DaVinci syrup, usually banana, and then freeze that into ice cubes. Then I add two greek yogurt ice cubes to my shake. I've also frozen milk and added less liquid but more mil**** cubes to make my shake creamier. Both add the creaminess but I find the yogurt taste is too over powering for non-fruit flavours.

One recipe I'm currently liking is: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1/3 banana (frozen), 3 whole frozen strawberries, 1 cup orange sunrise crystal light, 2 Tbsp. unsweetened apple sauce, and 2 SF Davinci banana flavoured greek yogurt ice cubes. It's based on the Jugo Classico smoothie from Jugo Juice and tastes pretty good.

You could also do different combos of fruit and fluid (like mixed berries, with milk and SF Strawberry davinci flavoured greek yogurt cubes would be good) to suit your personal preferences.

Hope this helps!

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 :-)

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
