Title: Fave Lunch
Post by: jacksprattswife on November 14, 2010, 11:59:21 PM: My current favorite lunch is a simple Ceasar salad with added chicken. I can throw it together at home ( I buy ready cooked chicken to keep handy) or order eat at most restaurants if I am out for lunch.

I like to have dessert too. Uusally berries or a sugar free pudding of some type. I think I am eating too much of the artificially sweetened stuff though just lately. Natural is better eg. strawberries.

Doug suggested the FTS SF Strawberry jello with whipping cream (see recipe videos) much better to satisfy the sweet tooth! Maybe give it a try?

We do, however, have a package of sugar-free chocolate pudding by Dixie Diners. It came in a sampler pack we got for Christmas. Says it makes 5 servings with 1 net carb. I can't wait to try it. Has anyone else tried it?

I made a chocolate mousse this morning using 0 carb heavy whipping cream and WF sf chocolate dip and it tasted great. Thanks umpa!! This will be a great substitute for the sf candy with sugar alcohols.
