Good, Umpa! Let me know how they turn out! I was thinking macadamia nuts, but I think they're too high carb. 1/3 cup of xylitol was WAY too sweet, so maybe 16 drops of ZERO will be too sweet for you, too... taste as you go? ZERO has a different sweetness than xylitol so it's hard for me to compare. I love the sweetness of ZERO and tend to use more of it than I would of the xylitol.

It's cooled down around here again to the 60s.
I think I'll make these later today or tomorrow. :)
Did you try these yet, Tony? I'm eager for some feedback...

It's gorgeous here. Mid 60's, just right for yard work.

I've played with this recipe and modified it so it's REALLY good! I love the coconut in it.

Chocolate No-Bake Cookies

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons xylitol or16 drops FTS zero
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa - 1 carb
2 tablespoons beanit butter
1/8 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup smashed pecans -1.2 carb
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut - 1 carb

1. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter.
 
2. Add the cream, cocoa, and sweetener to the melted butter and mix it well, bringing the mixture to a boil.
 
3. Let it boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly; remove from heat.
 
4. Stir in the beanit butter and vanilla, mix well.
 
5. Add nuts and coconut and stir until fully combined.
 
6. Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper, and let it cool.  The cookies will harden as they cool. I made 16 two-bite cookies. 3.2 carbs for the entire recipe.

General Discussion / Carbs in marinade
« on: May 13, 2012, 10:20:02 PM »
Does anybody know about how carbs in marinade effect the marinated food? How do you count the carbs in the end meal when most of the marinade is still in the bowl? Do you measure the marinade in the beginning and then measure it in the end and take a percentage?

« on: May 13, 2012, 04:41:07 PM »
It's never too late, MommaB! I haven't been posting my meals like I should, but I'm still in the thon and eating low. Not as low as possible, but low. For instance, I had a no-carrot carrot cupcake today. I made 12 cupcakes from 1/3 of the recipe, so they're pretty low in carbs, but not necessarily vital eats. I thought they were though, so had one for breakfast.

Breakfast
Cupcake - 1
sausage patty

Lunch
chicken thigh
1/2 cup green beans - 3
1/4 cup cauliflower au gratin - .75


Total 4.75

Started in Oct. 2011. The acid reflux is much better. No colds or flu this winter. I feel better, I was having dizzy spells but those are gone. I don't go to doctors, so don't know if there is anything else.

I've only been on FTS for 6 months, but no sniffles here.

The only thing that I can think of right now, Catz, for a late night snack that sends my tastebuds to bed for the night is that I made some cucumbers in vinegar for dinner one night and had some left over. They are so zingy that only one or two sends my nibbles to never-never land! I put a little olive oil in a bowl, added a few drops of ZERO and some salt, garlic and pepper, then sliced the cucumbers into the bowl, then added enough rice vinegar and apple cider vinegar to cover the cucumbers. They were good right away, but really strengthened in the fridge overnight. Now I just eat one or two of the cucumber slices at night if I'm feeling munchy and that's all it takes. Be prepared to make some funny faces...

That's what I did, Shawn. I asked Doug if I could use his images and put together a business card sheet. They printed out great.
