Topic: RE: Looking for a powdered sugar replacement

You can make it yourself.  I have and it works just a well as the store bought ones.  Save your money

 

Power Sugar Replacement

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup granulated Splenda (not the coffee packets or the brown sugar varieties)
  • 1 tsp cornstarch

Procedure:

Place the Splenda and the cornstarch in a mixer or food processor. Blend on high speed for approximately 1 minute, until the texture is similar to powdered sugar. You may need to scrape down the mixer or processor bowl several times in the process. Sugar can be stored in an airtight container for up to a month. Try dusting it on candies, tarts, or lemon bars.

Like with any sugar replacer, this is best used when you need the flavor of sugar but not necessarily the baking properties. Don't try to use Splenda-based granulated or powdered sugar in recipes where sugar is the main ingredient, or where the recipe depends on sugar to give it structure or caramelizing properties.

 

or you can go to the Splenda web site

Topic: perfect portion size
The other night I had cooked a spaghetti squash for dinner and had some left over.....

I put a tablespoon full of the squash in each one of my muffin cups...then I added a teaspoon of skim ricotta and then I put a teaspoon of tomato soup over the ricotta..I sprinkled a lil parmesan cheese and garlic salt over the top and then started my layers again...baked it for 35 mins at 400 and it made the perfect portion sizes and it freezes beautifully!

I puree them and make cucumber soup...onions, cucumbers, lil light mayo and a bit of milk...makes a yummy soup!  I also cut them into thirds and hollow them out with a melon baller and fill them with crab salad or shrimp salad...really good and my hubby loves them

Topic: RE: Protein ball recipe issue...
It might be b/c of the cream cheese. I never have problems with it being too wet when I use PB. Sorry its not coming out for you

Topic: RE: ISO: Vitamin Salad (Cottage Cheese Based)
My mom made one similar called "5-cup salad"  I'm not sure if this is exactly the way hers was made, but similar:

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/grandmas-five-cup-salad/detail.aspx

Note:  no cottage cheese.  Guess you could use cottage cheese in place of the sour cream.  My mom's didn't have cottage cheese either.  I'm sure she used the sour cream.

Anyway...  lol
