Ask Umpa / Re: How to change sugar to sugar free in your recipes
« on: October 24, 2010, 01:52:08 AM »
Thank Umpa

This is a big help, like I stated early I know how to cook but now I want to enjoy it a little better.
And since I have change the way I look at food thanks To Doug, that mean change in cooking as well.
But you are a big help to us all, and thanks for being there for us all. I keep finding recipes that call for Splenda
and when I post them to the group I try not to change anything, I'm hoping that there know to change to the sugar they Like to use. I learn from Doug that the Splenda is not good for you. But I try to find helpful recipes
to share with the group. And I want to do as much as my health well let me. That why I'm not able to be on the net as much. 2 - 3 times a month. I want so much to share something because I get so much help from
other people posts and I have 3 people beside me to buy the book. So I'm spread the words. And 2 are woman
in army. And one of them have her whole family eating this way.   

I made tonight some protein peanut butter bars I hope it turn out fine. We see in the moring ::)

Hi, Me again just had to share this one with the family, These are some of the treat I well be cooking this winter: I do more baking this time of the year. I need help with changing the recipes that I posted.  


PECAN PIE MUFFINS
2/3 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
48 drops FAT TO SKINNY Zero Sweetener
1/2 cup Carbquik baking mix- http://www6.netrition.com/tova_carbquik_page.html
1 cup pecans, finely chopped, about 3 1/2 ounces

In a small-medium bowl, whisk the butter, eggs, vanilla and sweetener. The mixture may look curdled. Whisk in the Carbquik until a smooth batter forms. Stir in the pecans. Spoon into 12 greased or paper-lined muffin tins and bake at 350� 15 minutes until golden brown and set in the center. The toothpick test will not work for these. They won't rise much and will be very small. Carefully remove them from the tins and cool on a wire rack.

Makes 12 small muffins
Can be frozen

So thank for letting me share:

Desserts and Sweets / CHEWY PEANUT BUTTER CANDY
« on: October 23, 2010, 12:42:11 AM »
Here are some recipes using whey protein powders: That I found and hope to make in the future :



CHEWY PEANUT BUTTER CANDY
2 tablespoons butter *
1/4 cup natural peanut butter *
12 drops FTS ZERO Sweetener
1 cup chocolate whey protein powder *
1/4 cup Da Vinci sugar free syrup, French vanilla or caramel flavor

Melt the butter in a small bowl in the microwave. Blend in the peanut butter with a spoon until smooth then stir in the Splenda. Add the protein powder and mix as well as possible. It will be crumbly. Work in the syrup with a spoon until you end up with a glossy, sticky, caramel-like goo. Press this into a small non-stick foil lined container and freeze until firm enough to cut into serving size pieces, about 2 hours. Once it has frozen overnight, it will be very hard. You can eat it frozen, but it will be a lot more chewy. If you don't want to freeze it, keep it refrigerated but it will be very soft and kind of messy to eat.

Makes 4-8 servings
Can be frozen but must be thawed to eat

* I used Peter Pan No Sugar Added creamy peanut butter so I can't say for sure if natural peanut butter would work exactly the same. I used Designer Whey brand protein powder. Add a pinch of salt if you're using unsalted butter.

Per 1/8 Recipe: 110 Calories; 7g Fat; 9g Protein; 3g Carbohydrate; trace Dietary Fiber; 3g Net Carbs

With liquid splenda:

Per 1/8 Recipe: 107 Calories; 7g Fat; 9g Protein; 2g Carbohydrate; trace Dietary Fiber; 2g Net Carbs

Hi
A lot of recipes calls for Splenda which well say half cup but to change it, how much sugar of stevia  well I need to use?  Or if it call for whole cup of Splenda  how much stevia is need? Or 4 packets of sugar is how much stevia? 

Then sometime it call for liquid sugar and I do not have any so how much stevia well I need?

Thanks for all the help you give us!

Thanks Doug for those nice and kind words, you inspire us all and we are trying to better our over all health. yes it was hard to keep eating right with him at home but if I did have a slice of cheese cake we always share
it now that I'm diabetic. But I make sure to keep my carb in count for the day. But when the soldier come home from overseas there want to eat food that they can't get there.
