I believe they are packaged in parchment. You bake then throw away the parchment.

Do you think you can use the PB2 in the Thai Miracle Noodles to lower the cals?

Yes, I do!!! The recipe I use is a little different, but mostly uses the same ingredients.

Cheesecake Factory has tons of low calorie options. I just had Mexican lettuce wrapped chicken tacos for 250 calories, and they were good! The picture's a little hard to see, but there are 3 decent sized "tacos" with chicken, corn, avocado, cabbage, and salsa.

I have tried the Van de Kamps garlic butter one. It was disgusting. It tasted like lake water. No tilapia I have cooked has ever tasted like that. I made 2, and ended up throwing one away because no one wanted it. I still have a box of the original flavor in the freezer, but I'm afraid to try it.
BTW, my Walmart clearanced them out and doesn't carry them any more.

I keep seeing people subscribe. Can someone tell me where I do that?

You just did. Whenever you post into a thread, you become subscribed to that thread, so it shows up in your User Control Panel.

Oh my. I just came back from the grocery store where I bought 5 packages of that tilapia. I better like it!

Thanks Dawn! I hate wondering around clueless...oh wait! That's everyday!
Trish: fish tasting like "dirt" (my words) or lake water, your words...is EXACTLY why I only eat salmon, halibut, cod and fresh tilapia. I am very suspect of anything that anyone has "caught" and tries to feed me. I just can't stand that taste! I've heard it tastes like that when the fish is caught in "warmer water" or "still water" meaning a small pond...but I don't know if that's true...I only know I can't handle the taste.

I totally forgot about this until I got on Pinterest today. This is a WW recipe, but it would be a perfect DD treat. Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread and it is only 40 calories a slice!

I am going to try and make something like this w oat fiber...Maybe Peggy's bread pudding recipe as the base but increased and baked into bread or muffins rather than nuked.

I went to Denny's the other day for breakfast and had a "Fit Fare" breakfast skillet. It was a bunch of veggies (including my favorite red potatoes) with scrambled egg whites on top. It was 330 calories, tasty and filling.

If you are in the market for quick & cheap, Del Taco has crunchy tacos for 130 calories and $0.49. I try not to eat that kind of thing often, but sometimes it comes in handy. I take them home and put a little lite sour cream on them and count 150 cals each.

Thanks for the great ideas!

I bought Gorton's Parchment Bake Tilapia. It had a pack of two and was spendy. I ate one and it was terrible! Afterward I couldn't figure out why I ate it. I have a hard time throwing food away, but I sure threw out the second piece!

Regarding "fishy" fish...

I always squeeze fresh lime on tilapia and if it still tastes like it swam in water I pour salsa on top. I find that salsa can cure just about anything.

Darn! It is really 160 calories, so this is probably best saved for UD!


Okay, I found another pumpkin recipe that really is 80 calories and truly is easy, peasy to make!

Pumpkin Protein Cheesecake Mousse
Makes 2 servings...

Ingredients

1 cup low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup milk of choice
1 tbs sugar-free instant butterscotch (or vanilla) dry pudding mix
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3-6 packets stevia, or to taste (or sweetener of choice to taste)



Directions

Place everything in a blender, and blend until smooth. Serve immediately or cover and place in the refrigerator until chilled — at least one hour.

Sunday--I get 240 for the whole thing--160 cals per cup cottage cheese, 40 pumpkin, 20 milk, 20 pudding--?? what do you think?

I think I must have been counting 1/2 cup of 2% CC . Thanks for correcting me! So, this is 120 calories for one serving??? Again, too high for DD unless you are not eating much for main meal.

Wonder if this could be made with something less calorie dense than
CC?

Deviled eggs designed for a DD!

boil three eggs
cut two in half
scoop out yolks & discard two
mash up the other whole egg
add fat free mayo, mustard, pickles sweentened w/ spenda, spring onions
fill in eggs with this mixture and ad two or three Baco's for crunch


Using Hellman's Lowfat Mayo, this recipe is less than 150 calories!

Roasted Cabbage w/ Worcestershire

1 tsp olive oil (5g)
2 tbsp real bacon bits (14g)
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper (more or less to taste)
1 Medium Head of Cabbage

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Mix the olive oil, bacon bits, lemon juice, worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper to make the marinade. Prepare the cabbage. Rinse it under water and remove any yucky loose leaves.

Cut the head in half on the core..

Then cut the halves in half again…
…to make quarters.

Lay each wedge on a sheet of aluminum foil large enough to wrap it up in. Spoon about 2 tbsp of the marinade on top making sure to get it in all the nooks and crannies. Wrap each wedge and bake for 20-30 minutes. The wedge will still have a crunch, if you like it softer bake for 40 minutes.

Recipe says 80 cals per wedge. I believe that to be highly estimated.
