what's your current favorite concoction? - Page 4

I add cream cheese, havarti and cheddar cheese to some chicken or veg broth. I don't measure anything but the cream cheese for carbs (the other are 0 carb cheeses). I stir until it's all smooth and creamy. It's the perfect base for adding stuff to. I usually like mine with spinach and some grated garlic, and maybe some chunks of grilled chicken if I want something more filling. It's such a comfort food. Nice and thick and makes your mouth stand up and take notice!

How do you make the Chocolate lava Minute Muffin, please? Sounds great!

pennylovesdarren · 05-27-2008, 12:16 PM

Here you go!

1 egg
1/2 tsp SF vanilla extract
1 Tbls heavy cream
2 Tsp cocoa powder (note: I use Wonder Cocoa)
5 pk Splenda
1/2 Tsp baking powder
1 Tbls softened butter

You just whisk everything together until blended.
Transfer the mixture to an oversized mug that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray
Microwave for 1 minute.

So, I decided to try out your little sweet treat of the cottage cheese/cocoa powder/espresso/stevia. I used about 1/4 c. low fat cottage cheese and blended everything in my mini food processor.

I just wanted a little something - and it came out to about only 60 calories! It was so delicious!!! Thank-you!!!! You're right, it does taste like a chocolatey/espresso cheesecake!!! It was so good and filling too and hit the spot perfectly!!! Thank-you again! I will be making this one again and again!

Have you ever tried maybe taking cottage cheese and stevia and strawberries to make a sort of strawberry cheesecake??? Oh wow - the possibilities are endless! You could basically use any kind of fruit or flavoring to make all sorts of little cheesecake type desserts like this!!!

Oh, man - little things make me so happy - and this little cheesecake treat is really going to be a nice thing to eat everyday! I

cheesecake but know that the real stuff is just loaded with fat and calories. Plus, I do cook a little - but don't always have the time to bake myself a low cal/low fat cheesecake!

I just thought of another idea - maybe if you need a little more protein or are having the cheesecake as part of a meal or snack - I think I'm going to try adding protein powder to it too. I really LOVE my blended protein shakes - but it would be nice to just blend together something even quicker like the little cheesecake treat!

My favorite things right now:

Fried Cheese Tostado
Cauliflower (Cauliflower Salad, Mashed Cauliflower)
LC Nachos (Pork rinds topped with shredded cheese and can dip in sour cream!)
Brisket (I've been cooking a TON of that lately!)
Shredded Pork (Lasts forever!!!)
Hamburger Patties (I found some with roasted onion... add a little ketchup and it tastes just like my meatloaf!)
Big Mac In A Bowl (Great for killing that fast food urge!)
Salads (I've discovered that the fast food salads are actually really good!!!)

I'm in a phase where I'm experimenting with recipes and those are my favorites so far.

OOPSIE STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE!!!!!! (sorry, I get a little excited)
Also, I love garlic and olive oil roasted asparagus...
And mushroom alfredo tofu shiratake noodles ( the angel hair kind)
Low carb is truly the way to go for a food lover like me.. everything I eat is so rich and delicious, and it's hard to believe I am gonna keep losing weight eating these wonderful things.

I'm keeping it simple right now, but what an awesome thead!

I make a lot of variations on the hamburger/veggies/sauce theme - hamburger is the cheapest organic meat.

I almost always use onion & fresh garlic, then make it asian with lots of fresh ginger, bok choy or brocolli or cabbage, soy sauce and sesame oil, or make it italian with canned tomatoes, or or eggs and parmesan & spinach, or stroganoff with mushrooms & beef broth, or mexican, etc., etc. you get the idea
