Desserts and Sweets / Pumpkin Nut Bread
« on: November 13, 2012, 08:38:08 PM »
I tried this today. It was great hot, better cooled off! I put butter on mine. It would be good with whipped cream or cream cheese frosting, too.

48 drops ZERO (or 1 cup xylitol)
2 eggs
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree (not pie filling)

1/8 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder (I used a mixture of ginger, cardamom, cloves, ground fennel, pinch cayenne pepper - and didn't measure - prob 1/8 t ea. I'll put a recipe for Chinese 5-spice powder below)
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
2 cups almond flour
1 teaspoon salt

Breads and Crackers / TORTILLA SUCCESS!
« on: May 23, 2012, 04:01:26 PM »
I made one of these and had a taco for lunch - it worked!

1/2 cup  soy protein
1/8 cup  Vital Wheat Gluten
1/3 teaspoon  salt
4 teaspoons lard
1/4 cup  water (I just added a little at a time until the dough came together - it was still crumbly looking until I squished it together with my hands, so check after adding a couple tablespoons)

Stir dry ingredients together, cut in lard until all the powdery stuff is incorporated and then add enough water to make a soft non-sticky dough, knead for about 5 mins (or use the dough hooks on a kitchen aid if you have one), let it rest, covered, for about 30 mins, pinch off the size of a golf ball (I got 3 portions from this) and roll out thinly (I used a silicone sheet and a glass), cook for 1 minute each side in a pre-heated skillet. These are not the soft tortillas that you can wrap around your filling, but the ones that you fold in half (while still warm) and stuff the filling inside. They taste good, don't fall apart and are only 4g carbs for the whole batch.

I don't know how they'll keep and if you want a wrap, I guess you'd have to roll them right after cooking.

Ask Umpa / New Assignments
« on: May 20, 2012, 12:58:54 PM »
If zero is made from regular sugar (and I LOVE zero), why can't we have a great BROWN sugar replacement equal to zero? Sometimes maple syrup just doesn't cut it...

And how about a granular zero?

I sent netrition.com a note asking them why they don't carry zero. Maybe a barrage of inquiries would put zero on netrition...

Ask Umpa / Banana Cookies, Umpa?
« on: May 19, 2012, 08:21:15 PM »
How can I make these cookies if I don't have any FTS Banana Butter, Umpa? How do I know if it will work? What to do, what to do...

BANANA COOKIES

1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/2 cup xylitol or 24 drops ZERO
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
3/4 tsp cinnamon
3/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup FTS Banana Butter
1 egg
1 cup unsweetened coconut
3/4 cup pecans

1. Preheat oven to 400 F
2. Sift dry ingredients together.
3. Once dry ingredients are sifted, cut in shortening.
4. After shortening is completely cut in, add banana butter, eggs, coconut and nuts and blend together well.
5. Spoon drops onto cookie sheet and bake at 400 F for 8-10 minutes (Note: this is a lot softer than normal cookie dough and will not form balls, hence spoon “drops”).

Frost with cream cheese frosting if you want them frosted.

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?

I'm watching this program on TV today - They got it about half right. This is a very interesting program, but almost 2 hours long. Showing the real problem as big bucks swaying food choices, both in school vending machines and school lunches, the cost of food in grocery stores, and advertising. One school nutritionist said that the problem in schools is that the federal gov't will only reimburse them for lunches that are over a certain number of calories, and the healthy foods don't come up with enough calories to be reimbursed, but the unhealthy foods get the bucks coming in.

They showed a 12 yr old having lipo to get rid of 35 lbs of fat. She gained it all back within 7 years. So sad. Just think - we can dump 35 pounds with FTS and it doesn't cost us thousands of dollar$. We know how to keep it off. Thank you, AGAIN, Doug and Umpa!

Breakfast Recipes / Cream Cheese Pancakes
« on: April 28, 2012, 11:40:00 PM »
I found this recipe online (pinterest):

Cream Cheese Pancakes
2 oz cream cheese
2 eggs
1 packet stevia sweetener
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Put all ingredients in a blender or magic bullet.  Blend until smooth.  Let rest for 2 minutes so the bubbles can settle.  Pour 1/4 of the batter into a hot pan greased with butter or pam spray.  Cook for 2 minutes until golden, flip and cook 1 minute on the other side.  Repeat with the rest of the batter.  Serve with sugar free syrup (or any syrup of your choice) and fresh berries.  A surprisingly satisfying substitute for the real thing.  Tastes like skinny fried cheesecakes!  Even if you aren't watching your carbs these are a delicious departure from the traditional doughy stack of pancakes.  And you won't have the sleepy feeling that usually comes afterwards!

I'm going to make Smokey Salmon Chowder and Strawberry Sushi. Doesn't that sound good?

I have cod out for Doug's Bacon-Wrapped Fish recipe for tonight, and I don't have any liquid smoke, so I'll have to fix the Smokey Salmon Chowder later. The salmon is in the freezer... Here's a picture of the Strawberry Sushi and the Chowder:

General Discussion / Uh oh!

I have two powdery products and have mixed up labels (one is now labeled "cocoa"). One is very fine and dense like wheat flour and one is very fine and kind of 'fluffy'. Neither is brown and chocolatey looking or cocoa smelling... I think the fluffy one may be wheat protein? Can you tell by taste?
