What are you missing?

Doug and I pride ourselves on replacing everything. What are you missing?

Pre-packaged snackies on hand... aka yummy stuff I don't have to make for myself. I can't wait for you guys to cut a deal with a commercial bakery and start shipping out the goodies!

I'm waiting for the FTS Banana spread!
When will it be ready to go?

I gave this question serious thought -

What am I missing ?  - someone to cook for me 

[shawn116]

Amen Morgan    everything seems to taste better when someone else does the cooking

There isn't much that I miss but from time to time I would love to have a cookie that has a crunch like an Oreo.  With the flours we use to keep them low enough in carbs to be worth having it is hard to get them to stay crispy

You know they make a cookie dehydrator.They are about 2 inches by 2 inches and you heat them up.You put them in with your cookies and they suck out the moisture TooSweet I have some in Florida,next time I am in town ii will pick some up and see if they work for chocolate cookies.Werent oreos a chocolate hazelnut?

This is probably the only legitmate use of sugar a person on fts would have - if you put 2-4 sugar cubes in the container with your cookies they should not go soggy. The cubes actually absorb any moisture.  Old household tip.
If you want to keep cake (mainly fruitcake - which isn't really fts) moist you keep a slice of white bread (also not fts) in the container.

Thanks Morgan I had forgotten about that tip    Might need to give it a try 

[umpa]

No Way! Does it really work Morgan???

[morgan]

Yes indeedy.  On the occasions I've used it, it did well.  Even the fruit cake, which I was skeptical about - because the cake was a bit on the dry side anyway - worked.

I know many think this against morals/principles but I am now in favor of cloning but only 2 people.. YEP, that would be Doug and Sherie so they can cook for me... 

Im so exhausted from working and the kids that I just dont have the energy....

[umpa]

Teach the kids, they will love it

I would love a soy based, very low carb, wheat free wrap or bread substitute. I've decided to give up wheat completely and I can't find any LC bread substitutes that don't contain wheat.  It would also be lovely to have premade meals, like lean cuisines, that I could just grab. There are a few out there, such as LC chili, but the wraps would make life much easier.

This looks interesting Waterlilly Tortillas Primal Paleo Low Carb Gluten Free! Yummy Mexican Food!  I bet you could use the soy flour or even flax.  Honestly I still just love to use the romaine lettuce.  I was shocked when I was on vacation and a waiter asked me if I wanted some when I told him I didn't want the tortillas.  I with that restaurant was closer to me    Also don't forget about the one minute muffins
