Topic: Banana Toffee Pie...
Banana toffee pie
1 can FF sweetened condensed milk
(put unopened can in a pot of water, cover the can with water about 4 in.) bring to boil, then simmer for 3 hours..making sure the water stays above the can. When the 3 hours is up. Remove pot from stove and cool about 1/2 hour. remove can and let rest 15 mins. (trust me it works.)
1 graham cracker crust
4/5 med. banana's sliced about 1/4 in. Place into a bowl. open milk and pour over banana's and stir. Put mixture into pie crust. Top with FF cool whip. Refrig. for 2 hours.. enjoy..
It is amazing how the milk turns to a gooey sticky mess. taste like carmel syurp... The pie slices do not come out very easy. Infact it is a messy slice but, so good..the filling will seep out after you remove the first piece. this is not a pretty pie after it is cut...lol

Topic: RE: Quinoa recipes
I buy it in the bulk section of my grocery store, but have also seen it in the pasta/rice/bean aisle.
It cooks just like the long grain rice. 2 parts water, part quinoa and a little salt.
(I usually do 2 cups water, 1 cup quinoa, 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring water and salt to boil, stir in quinoa and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 18-20 minutes. The water should be all absorbed by then. Fluff with a fork.)

Topic: RE: what was your favourite pureed meal?
In the beginning it was refried beans mixed with some cheese and warmed up and topped with some greek yogurt. Later on i liked things like my chix stroganoff which is slow cooked so its super tender in cream of chix soup so i could take a bit of chix and soup and puree it easily.

Try the recipe for Shelly's Baked Ricotta. Some of my non WLS family members really loved and made this recipe also. So good! Her blog has some really good recipes.

good luck with your surgery, it is coming up. Just be warned, what tastes good now, may not taste as good post op. Your tastes will definately change. I used to hate seafood and spinach and now I love them both.

Anything with hummus, roasted vegetables, ricotta cheese, etc.
As far as sweet goes, I liked a mix of ricotta and greek yogurt with a spash of sugar free chocolate syrup and a tablespoon of pb2.

Not stupid!! It's been around forever, but just now coming into the "mainstream".
Quinoa is a seed that cooks - 1 cup water, 1/2 cup qunioa seeds, for example - and acts like rice. It's high in carbs, yes, but it also has more protein than rice and digests slower so it doesn't cause dumping or craving in most people.
It's VERY slightly bitter (maybe not "bitter"...just different) on it's own, but will work in sweet or savory dishes and I've subbed it in recipes calling for rice with great success.
One of the most popular recipes on my blog are the Qunioa Burgers. SUPER!! (And you can find the photo of the first recipe she posted above on my blog, too! Plus three salads that are SCRUMPTIOUS!)
