These are fun to use.  Found them at Walmart.  A pack of 3 was only $1.00 LOL.  Made a "french toast" OMM.  Just an idea I thought I would share.  I sprayed a small amount of cooking spray in it first and then used a paper towel to "grease" the sides.  It's clear so you can check the bottom to make sure the OMM is fully cooked.

Umpa this is a favorite soup recipe that I found.  I'm not sure if it's possible to convert this or not.  Anyway here is the ingredient list.

TACO SOUP

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 package ranch-style dressing mix
1 package taco seasoning mix
1 cup water *
2 14-ounce cans diced tomatoes with green chilies *
2 15-ounce cans pinto beans
1 15-ounce can black beans
1 15-ounce can cream style corn

Brown beef with onions in a medium size soup pot (modified recipe by adding a touch of garlic and black pepper to meat also).  Drain excess grease.  Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 20 minutes before serving.

May be served with tortilla chips or cornbread, sour cream, shredded cheese and salsas.

*The recipe was modified by increasing water to 2 cups and using diced tomatoes with onions (not green chilies)

Taken from Hometown Recipes in American Profile magazine of Hartsville, South Carolina paper.  Submitted by Ruth Hull of Allardt, Tennessee.  Tips from the test kitchen:  This quick and flavorful soup is good with ¼ cup fresh chopped cilantro (did not use).  This soup freezes well.  It can be made ahead of time and frozen in individual containers to be used in the microwave later.

I took an 8 carb Lavish Bread.  Cut it in half 2 times so I had a 2 carb piece.  Then cut the 2 carb piece into 12 small squares.  I sprayed both sides of the 12 pieces with cooking spray.  Placed all 12 pieces in my toaster oven at 300 degrees for 8-10 minutes on bake.  These can be used in any way that crackers or chips would be used.  Meat and cheese crackers, salsa chips, tuna salad, chicken salad, etc.  Here I served with a 1/2 serving of egg salad (two boiled eggs, 1 T mayo, squirt mustard and 1 SF gerkin chopped 1.5 carbs).  The 6 pieces I used would be 1 net carb.

Sorry the pics are blurry but I am playing with camera.  All my other pics were too large to attach...any suggestions on settings LOL

We started drinking more water at restaurants (cause we are cheap LOL) and used the crystal lite "on the go" packs.  Some of the mixes didn't mix well in glasses of water with ice or the server would add water when we weren't looking.  If you've seen the commercials for the flavored drink mixes in a small bottle "Mio" liquid water enhancer...they are wonderful.  We like all the flavors except sweet tea or peach tea.  Our favs are Mango Peach, Fruit Punch, Berry Pomegranate and Strawberry Watermelon.  They are made by Kraft Foods, buy them just about anywhere.  They're supposed to have 24 servings in each bottle BUT again large glasses of water take more.  With the cost of drinks eating out one meal pays for the bottle.  These have zero across the board, no calories, no fat, no carbs, no sugars, no protein.

I was having shrimp and didn't have any cocktail sauce that wasn't high in carbs on hand.

The following satisfied me and now have 2 batches in the fridge.

2 Tblspns SF ketchup (Heinz) (2 net carbs)
1/2 tsp French's yellow mustard (0 net carbs)
1/4 tsp Horseradish Sauce (Woeber's Sandwich Pal <1g per tsp) (<1 net carb)
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp liquid smoke

I mixed all the ingredients in a small bowl and divided it into 2 small containers.  It doesn't look like very much in the container but you will be surprised how many shrimp you can dip and have "shrimp cocktail".  Since I split the amount into 2 servings I counted it as 1.5 net carbs to be safe.

In buying products that are zero carb the portion varies, of course.  If the portion on the label is zero carbs for 1 teaspoon, example Nathan's original coney island mustard; does the carb count increase if you eat 3 teaspoons?  This is also true of the sauerkraut I purchased, the serving size is 2 tablespoons for 1 g carb and 1 g fiber = net zero carb; but if you eat more than 2 tablespoons what happens?

I am an ex Weight Watcher and their rule was if you eat more than one portion of anything in one day that the "points" increased substantially which in turn decreased your weight loss.

I just started this week and have already lost 3 LBS  ....  YEAH
