Topic: RE: Shepherds Pie with cauliflower topping

I can't wait to try this!  I'm having my surgery at the end of March but need to start training up my friends and family to handle the foods I'll be eating :)  I have a big group over for dinner every Thursday and this will be on our menu for sure! I'll be using venison, but I usually add a little olive oil while it's cooking to act as the fat needed to brown it :)

Yeah we use mostly whole birds too. I think it would adapt well.

also, I froze the leftovers, and for Super Bowl blended it with cream cheese, more hot sauce and some cheddar cheese, then baked it and served as a hot dip with veggies!

This looks amazing! I have whole chicken (frozen whole chicken) to work with because we raise our own birds, so I'm always leery of recipes that use chicken breasts, but this looks easy to adapt!

Sounds yummy!  I'll have to try this when I'm further on in my food progression. I just started purees a few days ago.

Topic: Cream Cheese Chocolate banana Pancakes!

Made this today, my 11 year old went nuts over them! They were REALLY good! 

Keep in mind this recipe is for one serving...but there is no way you could eat all that it makes! Makes 5-6 decent size pancakes. 

2 large eggs

2oz Cream cheese

1 tsp splenda

1/2 tsp Vanilla extract

2 scoops of your favorite protein (I used Chocolate Intramedic 30 grams protein) 

1/2 ripe banana (Over ripe works best) 

Wizz it all up in your ninja or blender 

pour in pan, wait 1 minute flip

Top with fresh fruit, yogurt or SF Syrup...ENJOY! They are GREAT!

Topic: RE: Types of condiments and sauces

Thanks for all the great suggestions. And keep them coming!! One problem I have is for some odd reason I am much more sensitive to "hot" "spicy" type foods now since surgery, even at time bbq sauce if it is more than a sweet type. But I like the idea's and will try them in case one or more agree with me :)

I have this one and it works great. Be careful of the blades when washing (true for all spirilizers)!!
