Topic: RE: Fresh Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie
I made this recipe 3 times last summer...but I tend to prefer raspberries to strawberries so I made it with fresh raspberry.
I will attest this is a DELICIOUS recipe and can't wait to whip it up again...it truly is perfect for summer!

Can you call them and ask? Sometimes they make it themselves or buy in bulk just at Walmart (especially if it's just a small hole in the wall type of place.)

It was suggested to me to use Strawberry Unjury and crystal light lemonade.

Sandy, my advice....you stick with your protein first, veggies second and if you have room for salad or fruit...you can cook your potatoes, or rice or pasta for the family just as usual...you just don't partake...Following surgery, (even still) I always make sure I have frozen chilli in my freezer, or the lasagna cups frozen, for a quick grab for me...good luck on your journey..Patti K.
Topic: RE: Fajitas
I generally consider foods to fall in 3 categories:
Safe: which has things like the onions, peppers, and mushrooms. Nobody ever got obese eating these so I never keep track.
Caution: Foods that are calorically dense or easy to eat too much : Chicken, bread, potato, corn, cheese, etc. These are things and should be measured.
Dangerous: The foods that "make you fat" like oils, sweets, nuts, cream, and even guacamole (being mostly fat). Measured, logged, and consumed in appropriate amounts.
The thing I remember about the shakes was the doctor said "find one you like" so I did. Right after surgery I realized that there is a big difference between like and "like enough to have 3 times a day" Syntrax Nectar was my savior.

My three year old eats pretty much anything I eat...I make things that are fun and that he can sort of help with...I make tortilla pizzas and he helps with the toppings..I grill chicken and I shred mine but I cut his in chunks so he can still dip it in Ketchup! He is a good veggie eater so I use that to my advantage also :)
Topic: RE: I can eat PASTA again!
I use them in just about anything I would use pasta in...tonight I used the spaghetti ones and added the frozen broccoli with cheese sauce and it made an awesome dinner!
Topic: Chili
My dietician allows 5 oz of lean meat and 2 servings of low starchy vegetables, plus 1 serving fruit and 1 serving fat.
I created this chili recipe using my food list as a guide.
5 oz lean ground turkey seasoned
1 cup tomato sauce
On my plan I can use 4 oz meat and add 1 oz of lowfat cheese and I can also add 1 T low fat sour cream as a freebie.
This easy recipe of chili for one works out great and I can adjust the meat portion as my diet is adjusted along the way.
