Topic: RE: very dry cake
Was this a cake that ordinarily uses Regular Pepsi and you substituted Diet?
Sugar is hydroscopic and most sugar subsitiutes are not. This would mean the batter could not hold on to the water during baking.
Was the cake overcooked? If the internal temperature of the cake gets over boiling, the water will escape as steam.

Topic: RE: what to do with Banana"s
I saw Racheal Ray make ice cream out of them..I tried it and it's absolutely fabulous and a great dessert!!..
She peeled 2 bananas and cut them in half and froze them in a freezer bag....then when they were solid..she added them to the food processor ( I used the blender) and pulsed them...after a few pulses she added some skim milk...you just keep adding skim milk til it gets to the consistency that you like...she then scooped it into a dish and added a drizzle of chocolate sauce and a teaspoon of nuts and there you have it. I found it to be super simple to make and very good !

Topic: Best Salad Ever!!!
OK I am not one to eat beans- at all, so I was really surprised when I tried this salad over at my sister's house and it was so delicious! I bet that I make it at least once a week now. I shared this with the Kingston group over the summer and promised to post the recipe, but then went on vacation. So here it finally is!!
Tuscan Chicken Salad- 4 servings, 428 cal per serving (but in reality you eat alot less than 1 serving, so *****ally knows the cal per serving) Taken from: http://www.weightlossforall.com/1200-calorie-diet-sample.htm
1- 15 ounce can of cannellini beans rinced and drained
2 1/2 cups of diced cooked chicken breast
1 1/2 cups diced celery
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup coarsley chopped basil
salt & ground pepper to taste (optional)
2 cups torn romaine lettuce
2 cups radicchio lettuce (I don't use this as I don't like the taste, so I add an different type of lettuce)
Vinaigrette:
3 garlic cloves (less if you like)
1/4 tsp of salt
6 tbs of olive oil
1/4 c white wine vinegar or red wine vinegar
1 tbsp of dijion mustard ( I usually use a little bit less)
Mix up and serve- it really is the best salad ever, b/c you don't taste the beans or the celery, and it is so good for you!!! Hope you like!

Topic: RE: got cake, need icing..
1 small tub of Cool Whip Free, 1 package of sugar free pudding (any flavor).
Mix the dry pudding powder into the Cool Whip Free then spread it on the cake. Chocolate is good.

Topic: Hammie Sammies
Hammie Sammies were one of my favorite things before starting this journey. My biggest dilemma was the coleslaw. My families version of hammie sammies has to have the coleslaw to meet the flavor profile.
The old recipe:
Hoagie bun
Quality sliced ham
2 slices of cheese, (swiss, havarti, muenster are all good choices)
2 slices of tomato
Topped with coleslaw
The new recipe:
3 oz Quality Ham (at least 97% fat free)
1 oz Low fat cheese slices (same choices as above if you can find a reduced fat cheese in those flavors)
tomato slices
coleslaw made with 2 teaspoons of lemon juice and 1 T fat free miracle whip per 1 cup of slaw
Portabello or ****ake mushroom caps can serve as the bread
Deconstructed version:
3 oz Ham (diced)
1 oz Cheese (diced)
1 cup diced tomato
1 cup prepared slaw (prepared as above)
heat the ham and cheese
add the tomato
top with the slaw
This give you the same flavor profile sans bread
