Hmmmmm, I was just saying how displeased I was with the Walden Farm Chocolate dip but now I can see that if I use with this recipe it enhances other things. Thanks for the idea. Like I said, this forum is truly wonderful!

I am definitely going to try this chocolate dip out - Bought the Walden Farms chocolate dip and it was very tasteless. I hope that's okay to say on this forum. So, saying that, this recipe sure sounds good!

Ask Umpa / Re: Net Carb Lavash
« on: November 12, 2012, 11:15:33 AM »
Nope, tried two super size Wal-Mart stores in the se Wisconsin locations and none of them carry Joseph's Lavash. Even spoke to a store manager at both places. Now, the Woodman's in Kenosha sells the high carb lavash. They also sell a Lawash (that's right, with a W) and it is like a skinny tortilla and low net carbs. I am getting tired of hunting this down. One more try at a Health Hut, but not very promising for this area. Soooooooooooo, I am a thinking that a RECIPE :-) is my last resort. Any luck with pulling one together? No rush, but I am down to my last three packages of Sami's in the freezer. We are going to miss those babies once they are gone! Help and Thanks bunches!

Hi TooSweet:
Here is the recipe I used. (I'll give you the basic recipe from the pizzelle maker pamphlet and all I did was substitute soy flour and xylitol) and there IS NO CRUNCH. Thanks for any suggestions:
3 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar (I substituted xylitol)
2 Teaspoon valnilla extract
1 Stick (1/2 cup) butter melted and cooled
1/2 Teaspoon anise seed (optional) (I didn't use in recipe)
1 3/4 Cups all-purpose flour (I substituted Soy Flour)
2 Teaspoons baking powder
That is the BASIC recipe.
I was making the Almond Pizzelles which calls for:
using the first recipe above, omit the vanilla and anise flavors; add 1 tablespoon almond extract. Add one cup of finely chopped/ground almonds to the batter.
I also added about 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds which I thought would help for fiber.

Ask Umpa / Re: Net Carb reduction by adding spenda
« on: November 08, 2012, 12:57:37 PM »
I showed my husband the Xylitol nutrition label which shows carbs as 4 and sugar alchohol as 4 which basically, like everyone is saying, wipes itself out. Is there a sugar alcohol that doesn't wipe itself out? AND, how come on a nutritional label Doug, in your book, (unless we are reading this incorrectly...) you say to take total carbs minus dietary fiber and minus sugar alcohol which gives you net carbs? If sugar alcohol wipes itself out, then why use it in the equation? That is what is confusing hubby!!!!!

« on: November 08, 2012, 12:51:16 PM »
I actually bought a pizelle maker over the weekend. Substituted xylitol for the sugar and substituted soy flour for the all purpose flour. Don't have the exact recipe in front of me but added sesame seeds for dietary fiber, used 1 cup of finely crushed almonds, almond extract, 3 jumbo eggs, baking powder. The only problem is that I put too much dough in the maker and they came out too thick and not crunchie. I have to perfect the method still. Otherwise, the flavor was fine. I just don't know how many carbs/dietary fiber/sugar alchohol ratio to come up with net carbs. Used 1 and 3/4 cup of soy flour and 3/4 cup of xylitol and a teaspoon of sesame seeds. Umpa, what do you think?

You guys are so very informative. Yes, we have had spagetti squash and my husband loves to make our meals in this fashion. I got on Netritions website and found that the Miracle Noodles per bag were less expensive. I am going to see if any of our grocery stores are beginning to stock them. Thanks TooSweet, Doug and Umpa. Great stuff! I love this forum a great deal! The FTS is so easy to follow.

I am Italian and love my noodles, but ever since I started on FTS we have cut noodles out of our diet and I really am okay with it...BUT, every now and again it would be nice with some ground up venison. I will look up on the web for store locations. Thanks Doug!
