Topic: RE: lasagna
i don't really have a recipe but what i do is thinly slice zucinni or eggplant then use that to replace the noodles the rest of the recipe would be normal, you may want to use low fat riccota, and mozszerella, maybe groung turkey to replace some or all the ground beef.

Topic: RE: Mexican Meatball Soup
I just made this with Veggie Patch meatless meatballs just as it is written and it is the bomb.  I'm going to serve it to a friend of mine and see if they know the difference in the meatballs, I don't.  Next time I make it though, I think I'km going to also add some black beans.  This recipe gets a big thumbs up from me.  Thanks for sharing.

Topic: Recipe Swap at the Long Island Conference
There is going to be a table at the Long Island Conference for everyone to bring copies of their favorite WLS friendly recipes to swap and share. With the holidays and holiday parties fast approaching , this will be a good chance to try something new and share one of your favorites.  I would suggest making 50+ or so copies of each recipe. I'm sure the hotel has a copier if someone runs short. I'll try and bring a ream of paper so there should'nt be an issue using the copier. See everyone at the conference.

Topic: Liquid diet suggestions???
i'm one week into a 4 week liquid diet (2 pre surgery and 2 post surgery). So far, I'm doing well, although I can't believe how hard it is for me to consume AT LEAST 600 Calories a day!!! I can tell I'm very quickly going to come to despise the few options I currently have for Protein Shakes. (Chicken, Beef, PB2-peanut butter and Ham) I KNOW there must be something more. Can anyone give me some suggestions?

Thanks a lot!

Topic: RE: got cake, need icing..
There is a product by Bell Plantation, Inc., called PB2. It is DEFATTED peanut butter! It comes as a powder, about the consistency of powdered sugar. NUTRITION INFO: 2TBSP/45Cal/5Prot /1.5Fats/5Carbs. It is carried in some groceries (especially if they cater to WEIGHT WATCHERs), weight loss centers (in St Louis area, it's carried at POUNDS AND INCHES AWEIGH, in Chesterfield), AND at the website: http://www.bellplantation.com/

My mother puts it in sugar free Cool Whip and uses it for icing. It is EXCELLENT. Hope you're able to find and use it.

HOW do you make cake from Diet Pepsi? I thought you couldn't bake with Aspertame?
