Topic: RE: WLS Friendly Apple/Fall Recipes???
I'm originally from the South and love Fried apples but they're loaded with sugar.  What I do with apples gives you a similar taste though and it's SOOO easy...

Peel and slice the apples (I slice them into about 1/3" slices lengthwise, put them in a microwaveable casserole dish with a lid, add cinnamon and artificial sweetner to taste (I just use about 1/2 pack of sweet & low), cover the dish and microwave for about 4-5 mins depending on the amount and how mushy/crispy you want your apples -- this makes a cinnamony, apple syrup like coating and they are delish.  This would probably work to make apple pie filling but I'm not that adventuresome.

Apples are also good peeled, sliced and cooked with a pork loin roast.

Almonds!!! Yummm!  (Especially the smokehouse variety)

If you can take a small cooler, I'd take some string cheese and sliced ham/turkey.  They'd be easy to eat on the road.

Have a great trip!

I had bookmarked that recipe awhile ago.  I thought it would come in handy.  I hope it helps.

I would start with what I call "The Beginning" and use Julia Child's recipe

http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Crepes-Fines-Sucrees-100838

A half recipe is often sufficient AND the "low carb" types could use an alternate flour (like almond) since the crepes don't need to rise.

You could keep things simple...tuna packets, nuts, veggies.  Make some onion dip with Greek yogurt.  Boil some eggs or make a chicken salad and use a cooler.  Take some string cheese.  If staying overnight then maybe find a grocery store when you stop.

Topic: Healthy snack/Road trip food?
Hey guys! First let me say that the recipes on this site are awesome (I have tried many and EVERYONE should try the noodleless lasagna!) So thanks for posting them!!!

Ok, on October 22 I am leaving for a week long trip to Florida (yay!) which is a 14 hour drive for me. My first problem is that on long trips I tend to snack in the car. Does anyone have any recipes that would keep in a car?

Also, I would prefer to not eat fast food unless I absolutely have to, so again, any ideas? I would just pack a huge salad and eat it twice but raw veggies don't like me anymore :(

Thanks everyone!!

Topic: RE: Fruit and Tofu Shake? Ever Tried It?
Hey Stitch!  I have never eaten tofu at home...just in Chinese food, etc.  I wondered about the water and ice melt as well. LOL

Topic: RE: COOKIE RECIPE
Glad you liked!

If you use egg beaters with the oatmeal version I would suggest to add a little more .. mine came out wicked crumbly and a little too dry.  I would do a little more egg beatrs myself :)  Or maybe 2 eggs if you use real eggs :)
