Sides and Snacks / Parmesan Chips great snack
« on: March 08, 2012, 08:48:55 AM »
I had some shredded Parmesan that I had purchased at Sam's.  It was a large container and I didn't want it to go to waste.  I experimented with the cheese chips idea and this is what I came up with.  Each chip is only a 1/8 cup melted for 45 seconds in my microwave.  I keep them in the fridge in an airtight container and they are great.  They are very crispy and have a great flavor.  I also experimented with adding a sprinkle of cayenne pepper, garlic powder or onion powder.  None seem to do too much for me LOL...think I like the plain the best.

Thanks TooSweet for the egg noodle idea!  Fixed some for dinner last night.  Had baked a london broil.  Used the london broil broth (0 carb beef broth), xanthum gum and heavy whipping cream to make a gravy.  We had beef and noodles with a side of italian green beans.  Yep...this is a keeper!!

The color actually is "pink".  I originally googled Japanese shrimp sauce and found a recipe for a "white sauce".  My idea came from TooSweet's SF Thousand Island dressing without the SF pickle relish.  I combined ingredients from both and came up with this.

Sides and Snacks / Japanese White Sauce
« on: March 04, 2012, 03:56:53 PM »
It had been over 6 months since I was strong enough to eat Japanese without craving the rice.  Thanks to FTS now I can.  I stick with meats and vegetables (zuchinni, broccoli, mushrooms, little onion).  I take my "to go" condiment cups of Seal Sama, Walden Farms Sesame Ginger Salad Dressing, bacon bits and cheeses.  Last week when we ate at the Japanese I watched hubby put the Japanese White Sauce on his rice and veggies.  I remembered how much I liked the sauce on my veggies and sometimes on my salad too.  Today I experimented with a FTS Japanese White Sauce.  It's very close and the color of that served at our local restaurant is almost a match.  TooSweet tasted it this afternoon and suggested I post it on the forum...so here it is:

Japanese White Sauce

1/4 cup plus 2 Tbl sour cream (6 total Tbl) (3)
1/4 cup sugar free ketchup (4)
1 Tbl mustard
6 Tbl mayo
1 Tbl heavy whipping cream
2 Packs Stevia sweetener (2) (xylitol might work here...duh brain fart)
½ tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp paprika
dash cayenne pepper
dash onion powder    (1) extra for seasonings

10 total carbs
Yield = 1 cup or 16 Tbl
.625 carbs per Tbl

If anyone makes this and has any suggestions as to additions or subtractions please let me know!

Umpa that is great that you are working your own line of flours.  TooSweet had mentioned trying to duplicate a mastermix that her grandmother used to use.  The problem is that is made from flour that we don't use anymore.  But in the end would replace the carbquick.  We've been busy with other family issues lately and haven't had time.  Glad to know the resident expert has already got it covered! :D

Sherri I order from Netrition a lot more than I should but FTS friendly products are scarce here so I pay the price.  I compare to Amazon but order from whichever is cheaper (but love both).  I also use the carbquick in lots of my recipes for my husband's taste.  He prefers more of a "cake" texture so I usually split my flours and 1/3 of each flax, almond and carbquick for the total recipe.  The carbquick box has a pound cake recipe inside that I made a while back.  Following is my modification from the box.  I baked it in a bundt cake pan and it was beautiful.  Tasted wonderful right after it was baked.  After it was refrigerated it dried out rather quickly.  Since it is only me and hubs here next time I make it I plan to freeze some right away. 

Here's the cake recipe (modified):
Carbquick indicates 16 servings with a net of 2 carbs per serving (I got 24 servings)

3 1/2 cups Carbquick
1 1/2 cups Splenda (used 1 1/2 cups Xylitol)
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla (replaced with 2 tsp SF Torani Brown Sugar Cinnamon syrup)
6 whole eggs
8 ounces cream cheese, softened (used 1/3 less fat Philadelphia)
1 tsp Apple Pie Spice (it does not call for this - but I added it anyway)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease angel food cake pan (tube pan, 10x4 inches or 12 cup bundt cake pan) and dust with Carbquick.  Beat all ingredients in large bowl on low speed 30 second scraping bowl frequently.  Beat on medium speed 4 minutes scraping bowl occasionally.  Pour into pan.  Bake 55 to 60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.  Cool 5 minute and turn pan upside down onto wire rack or heatproof serving plate.  Remove pan and let cool completely.

TooSweet your idea of a wine rack for the syrup bottles would be too cool.  It would give me another shelf back in my pantry LOL

Come on Suz tell us your dream!! :D i had a dream the other night I was on Survivor and Russel had stolen my clothes!I was wearing palm frawns! i got him back though I scared him so bad he pooped himself! :D :D
Good sleep is a necessity for [url=http://www.fattoskinny.com/]weight loss[/url] ;)

OMG Umpa ROTFL.  Well, I'm sure some time or another everyone has had the nightmare of going somewhere in your PJ's (or something close)..  The whole story is that I was just in my bra and panties when another person and I headed into this restaurant (hard picture to imagine really) when we both noticed the noise from the air conditioner.  I felt compelled to fix it and somehow with all of my bravado managed to do so.  Woke up shortly after that trying to imagine how in the world I would have had the courage to leave my house undressed.

Jo, glad to see you back on FTS.  Sorry you are slow healing.  This week I made a SF Chocolate pudding by converting the SF Banana I had posted earlier.  Again, I credit this recipe to Doug and Umpa because I started by using the coconut cream pie filling and adjusting it a little.

SF FTS Chocolate Pudding

1/4 cup Xylitol
1/2 and 1/4 tsp Xanthum gum
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp SF baking cocoa
Mix these ingredients in large mixing bowl.

1/2 cup SF Chocolate Almond Breeze milk (1)
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 Tbl Walden Farms Chocolate Syrup
Mix these ingredients together and slowly add to the dry ingredients above.  Pour into a sauce pan.  Cook on medium heat stirring constantly until thickens and boils.  Boil for 1 minute and remove from heat.

1/4 cup Egg Beaters (1)
Slowly add 1/2 of cooked mixture to the egg beaters, mixing well.  Return this to sauce pan after mixed. Mix together.  Return to medium heat, stirring constantly until boils.  Boil for 1 minute.  Remove from heat and stir in the following ingredients:

1/2 Tbl butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbl Walden Farms Chocolate Syrup

After mixed well separate into servings.  I normally make 4 servings.  Plain SF Almond Milk can be used instead of the chocolate but I had some that needed used, it really didn't make that much difference in the chocolate flavor, that comes from the powdered cocoa and WF chocolate syrup.

Love it Sarah!!    :D :D :D  You know you don't have to be a senior to have those moments...LOL

Suz your ticker is moving  ;D   Yea!!!!!!

Thanks Shawn...it's finally dropping again.  May be it was those 3 days of walking you and I did this week?  I might need to do that more often LOL!  Something else I have noticed that happens when I am in the dropping mode...I dream (of course that means I am sleeping better).  This morning I woke up realizing I had repaired an air conditioner in my dream last night - how cool is that LOL.  I won't tell the rest of the dream, I would be embarrassed.

Interesting info here; I avoided having my 3rd mammo for 7 years because my first 2 resulted in required surgery for biosopy (sp?).  This time (started FTS in July 2011) it was clear...no sugar and low carb diet may have given me a "clear" mammogram!!!!
