3 stalks sliced green onion (depend on how much you want we like alot)
14 oz bag of med cooked shrimp cut into chunks

Mix it all together and fridge overnight for it to (in my husbands words) perculate but it's awesome! I had a little on a pork rind tonight but back in the day we'd have it on ritz. I can honestly say i don't miss the ritz. It makes a pretty big batch, I set it for 12 on fat secret but really it's a dip so who knows really. You can mess with the ingredients to find your "taste" of the dip

Looking forward to this!

It always goes pretty fast when I make it...I would double if you have more than 4/5 that will eat it...it's amazing!

I heard 20 people are invited! I doubled it...we are also bringing prawns to fry. I wont eat it the prawns but others will! Too much flour.lol - I also bought extra Rizt to go with it. Should be yummy!

Hope you are well Heather girl!

[Chouter]

Okay, ladies. What does your holiday menu look like? I just finished up my shopping, so I've got the goods. I will be on P2, so I will be having only the first two items on the list.

Grilled Whole Beef Tenderloin
Steamed asparagus
Brussels Sprouts, sauteed in butter and bacon
Mashed potatoes
Scalloped potatoes
Stuffing
Pumpkin Pie

[Somewhat Damaged]

I'll not be eating all of this, but:

deep fried turkey
garlic green beans
roasted brussels sprouts with bacon, pecan, maple
stuffing (bread free for me, traditional for the guys)
mashed potatoes
dairy free, crustless pumpkin pie
traditional apple pie

[Stevie Renee]

I am on P3 but I do not plan on too much eating. We did our big dinner the other night.

I am making Heathers dip ( should have made it yesterday! duh!) and I made lc crackers.
Sugar free cranberry
prime rib
some wine
dark chocolate 85% - a bite

I found out MIL went and bought some type of ham and turkey loaf - egads. I probably wont be eating it...just shuffle it on the plate! I am also bringing Dotties greenbean. So there is that. Tomorrow will be my lightest day I think.

Merry Christmas all!

[Stevie Renee]

Yesterday at dinner, I ended up just eating Dotties greenbeans, sf cranberry and Heathers dip. lol...I was not digging the smoked turkey for reason. It tasted commercial.

Heathers dip was a hit by the way!

I'm so glad! Last time I took it to a party the hosts of the party were caught licking the bowl

Well, I am going to bump this up. I have the chocolate coconut cake in the freezer that I am thawing out and wanted to get the frosting recipe. I hope I can frost it before I leave for work tomorrow afternoon. I hope it turns out as well as Peggy's did. Too bad I didn't bump this up sooner. It could have helped with some menus for Easter.

[Stevie Renee]

~Bump~

A goodie.

[dbunny]

Thanks for bumping this Stevie Renee Someone mentioned this thread the other day and I couldn't find it..

[SunnyFL]

OMG these recipes are amazing!

No problem

I saved it because it is a goody!

chocolate cake with whipped peanut butter frosting, ganache drizzle, topped with peanuts…


chocolate cake

3/4 cups coconut flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
10 eggs
1 cup olive oil
1 cup – 1 1/4 cup honey (I think I will use agave nectar)
2 tbsp vanilla extract

method: preheat oven to 325f. prep 2 round 8″ cake pans by coating in oil and lining bottoms with parchment paper rounds.

sift dry ingredients together in a large bowl. no lumpers.

mix all wet ingredients together with whisk, or hand mixer if you have one.

combine wet ingredients with the dry, and mix thoroughly. pour batter evenly into pans. bake for 35-40 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean. careful to keep this from over baking, as this cake tends to burn easily. cool for half an hour before carefully going around edges with a knife and inverting onto cooling racks. cool for another few hours before assembly.

whipped peanut butter frosting

1 cup natural, no-stir, creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup chocolate chips (I will use sugar free)
1 tbsp vanilla

method: in large heat-proof mixing bowl, heat all 3 ingredients over medium heat. i used double-boililer method for this. stir constantly until chips are melted smoothly and thoroughly with peanut butter. it smells good. dip a spoon in and take a bite while no one is in the kitchen.

stick the bowl into the freezer for 15 minutes. whip with hand mixer. if it’s still too glossy, stick it back into the freezer for 10 minutes. you’ll want the texture to be a little stiff, like any icing. be careful not to over whip this, because the fat in the peanut butter will get melty and glossy again if you’re not careful!

place bottom layer of cake onto cake stand or giant plate. spread frosting over bottom layer of cake. stack second layer on top and coat the whole cake with this tasty concoction. don’t get too messy! stick it in the fridge for a bit before topping with ganache.

ganache drizzle

1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips (may use the sugar free...not sure yet)
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp butter (room temp)
1 tbsp vanilla

method: over low heat, warm heavy cream until it begins to steam. pour over chocolate and vanilla and stir until completely melted. stir in butter until everything is evenly combined. let it stand for a few minutes at room temp before using.

pour over cake, and top with a handful of salted peanuts.

Has anyone made this with something besides honey/agave?

I did the cake using half xylitol and half agave. It was delish. Why not try the cake using just the xylitol? It sweetens like sugar. You could make it like I did with a different type of frosting since this one has peanut butter in it and is not P3 friendly. You could also just frost it with whipped cream. YUM!

[Millenia98]

Thanks, all. I took down lots of these recipes. I will be strict P3 for Thanksgiving and I'm very much a SIDES person, so I'm glad to have these.

[Chouter]

Oh my goodness! These recipes are a blast from the past, eh? Only a year, but still, seems so long ago!

Stevie, how are you??

Peggy?

I am going to start a new round right after TG, and will be back here to talk about it!

Hi!!
I think of our old group from last year. Lovely to see you!

I am well. Had a hard time keeping a lot of the pounds of due to so much summer travel. My fault, not HCG. Back to it....trying a bit more rogue. But always trying. Not going as low as I first did as it was impossible to hold. Readjusted a new goal weight. So are you loading Thanksgiving?

Welcome back!!

[BaileysGirl]

MMM that cake looks sooo good! I read that it is P4 friendly so guess I'll have to wait til closer to Christmas as I'll be in P3 at Thanksgiving. Going on a trip to TX with my Mom to visit my Aunt. I'm taking the recipes for the sausage mushroom stuffing and going to find out what other sides she'll have.

I want to make a list for Trader Joe's/Kroger. What are the top 10 things you really need for making a cake or those fudgy peanut chocolate bar things? I see people using different things like xylitol, brown sugar sub, agave nectar. I def am getting the almond flour and maybe coconut flour. Can you guys weigh in on what your top baking staples are and which ones you like better than the other or works best in recipes?

Welcome back!!

Thanks! It's good to be back. We had a great little group going last year, and I think a lot of success. I'm sure there are great folks here now, I just haven't been here in a long time.

Like you, I lost a ton of weight, and called goal at 142. I stayed within 10 lbs. of that, bouncing up and down, depending on what was going on in my life at the time. But at the end of summer, we had a house full of guests, then we sold our house and in 3 weeks, we bought another one and moved. It was a stressful time, and difficult to eat when the kitchen was packed up and we were constantly busy.

Once we got moved in, I headed to San Carlos, Mexico for a week. Now I'm back, settled in, and ready to get off those pesky pounds! I'm still in the 150s - but the high 150s , but would love to be back around 145 or so. Considering I started around 186, I'd say my experience with HCG has been a success, although a bit of a roller coaster at times.

Glad to see some familiar faces here with me! Yes, I am loading over Thanksgiving, and will go right up to Christmas Eve! Doing my best to get my head in the game and have a good round.

What are you doing that is rogue? Is is working for you?

lol...yep, we do sound a lot a like.

Rogue this go is mixing veggies, new veggies, more protein and a wee bit of fat to add flavor if need be.

I had some wine yesterday and I am sure it will stop all progress for a few days. Today I am doing a mini steak day with tomato. Lots of hot tea also.

I am working out a lot more also, weights & cardio. Must get stronger as I was hurting myself with simple things.

I was a 4/6, now a 6/8 I guess. Better then a size 24 which I started at 10 years ago., Must not forget where I came from.

We had so much fun last season! I am making your asparagus wreath for Christmas Eve.

Well wishes!!

PS: I may keep going if I don't get my losses done by Thanksgiving. Will join you for a mini load since I cycle so much.

Yep, that wine is a killer. At least for me it is . . .

You know, if you put a gun to my head, I would not be able to tell you what I made for Thanksgiving last year, and yet, reading through all these posts, you'd think it was the greatest meal since, like, forever! LOL! I am so glad I put the recipes in, because now it gives me ideas. I said to my husband yesterday, how could I forget about all these yummy foods!

I am looking forward to starting my round after TG. I know it will be hard, but I am determined. That's why I'm back here.
