Coffee, Dee and me (Foodie discussion)

Cleo....how do you think the oopsie rolls would hold up with Diet Cola sloppy joes. They are just that...sloppy joes.

[cleochatra]

The oopsies would do well with that. I used them for my meatball subs and they held together well. You just want to make sure they don't sit too long or they might go a bit soggy (like regular bread).

Congratulations on your success. I'm sitting here really thinking right now. I just got back from my appointment with my eating disorders psychologist...Dr. Barbara McFarland (highly respected in the nation) and she said something that mirrors your WOE...you say...."applying what you learned from Dr. A to your body". I was discussing KK and ATKINS with her and she said....what do you use what you have learned in your years of dieting sand do what's best for Dee.....LMBO.

Thanks agian.

You are kind to call it success, TY! If I could get out of my own way, I'd be sitting at goal for years now I've had to get away from the "extremes" of dieting and try to get back to the health reasons behind why I do it, but some days are easier than others

FWIW, I do want to echo the sentiments of others that you be kind to yourself if you start to try new things and your body rebounds a little. (I say this as much to myself as to you ) The "weight" isn't the same as the numbers and those numbers shouldn't mean much anyway. GL with your journey, no matter how you decide to take it

Oh yeah, and here's the Main Lobby for ya Feel free to holler at me if you need anything!

I love them for making desserts - I created the Boston Cream Napoleon Oopsie (can't find the link right now) and fed it to my Diabetic friends and they (and I) pronounced it wonderful!

I have since made oopsies for Strawberry Shortcake, Layered Jello Cakes and just recently a little mini wedding cake for my diabetic sister's 6th anniversary -



It was a very big hit

That's cream cheese, Splenda and whipped cream frosting.

that is darlin'!

Hey Everyone!
I have been a lurker for quite some time and this is my first post. Love this site! Cleo, your recipes are a huge hit in our home, along with Linda Sue's and Nance Elle's!

Dee - do you have the recipe for the Sloppy Joe's? Thanks

Continue to heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or until mixture is thick and stewy.


Serve over lettuce cups, or over low carb bread/buns as desired.

[Bella9]

Thanks 2big!

[soon]

Dee would you post the thread for the Nuwave have never heard of it??? Thanks

[DEEDLYNN]

soon....I'm not sure how to post the link...I'm not very good out here in cyber space...I found mine at Mysecretpantry.com and I watched the infomercial there. It works just like it says...frozen to grilled chicken breasts in 12 minutes and they are wonderful. Let me know if you find it. Sry, that I can't be of more help.

[soon]

its ok Dee I need another appliance like I need more weight.

[shadowzip]

I do not have the NUWAVE but a friend does and she raves about it. you can find it at nuwaveoven dot com

The sloppy joe recipe sounds delish. I will be trying it soon, with some oopsies of course.

[DEEDLYNN]

soon...I live alone and am buried in appliances...LOL....but this one is worth....It earned a place on the counter (not the bakers rack...not the shelving....not the cabinets...a place on the counter--LOL).

[DEEDLYNN]

I did make some rolls with nori, but the cauliflower is so moist that the seaweed was a bit chewy. I did give it a try, though! I might try it again sometime...

oh man I csan trach cleo a cooking lesson

to dry your cauliflower rice season it and spread it on a bake sheet I do mine on parchemtpaper so it doesn't stick
then roast it in the oven and it will dry out as it roasts
becareful as it will go fast already riced and you might not like cruchy rice in your rolls

then use the drier "rice" to make your foods

[cleochatra]

COOL! Thanks 2big! I'm so going to try that. I had been frying my 'rice' on the stove to dry it out (which wasn't working).

[2big4mysize]

if you want "brown" rice LOL use 425 F is you just want dryier rice use about 300 F for about 10-20 min and watch it cause it goes crunchy fast.

spread it out and don't crowd it too.

I love roasted cauliflower and garlic so I just do a pan of flowerettes and then can use them in any recipe I want. one can purree them with your cauliflowr pizza recipe and spread the results like frosting on a bake sheet and skip the ricing for your crust too.

[cleochatra]

Thank you, 2 big! I am excited to try the variation.

Hopefully everyone is having a healthy whole foods morning, and are enjoying their Sunday!

2big, I've been researching inulin as a filler for a stevia powdered sweetener. Now, is inulin, in your opinion, bad stuff? I haven't found anything questionable about inulin, partially because it is derived from the cell walls and is the same time of fiber unabsorbed as, say, the skin of a plum. Is it still too much filler and not a wise use of fiber? If inulin is bad news, I'm not going to use it, but what I had found on the subject made inulin seem like an acceptable filler for a packet of sweetener.

[Carly07]

FOOD OMG THE FOOD I NEED MY THUNKING SMILEY LOL

[2big4mysize]

Carley aren't hose great looking low carb recipes? and you could add a few to your current eating and make it a lot healthier and safer for you.

[2big4mysize]

Cleo inulin has been used for yrs medically for a special kidney test so it can't harm you.

However

it is a favorite food of bacteria so your intestinal fauna ( both the good and bad stuf) can and do metabolize it which can make you gassey if you eat enough of it so don't go hog wild. if you are respecting Dr Atkins 3 servings of sweetner rules it should not be an issue.

[DEEDLYNN]

OKay....back from the store.
I'm trying the flax crackers today and I'm eating an artichoke...dipping in melted butter.
Got the stuff to make cauliflower pizza...maybe tomorrow night.
Zucchini chips
& of course...oopsie rolls. That will have to be later this week.

[2big4mysize]

good for you Dee

after you eat so you don't have cravings go to this topic INDUCTION FOOD PORN!!! and checkout the pics and recipes there. it should all be Atkins induction legal foods which for kimkins folk whould be just adding a bit more fat and protein to their plan.

[cleochatra]

DEED-- that sounds great! I just want to mention to not overdo flax crackers. Flax in induction is for needed fiber only (and then only a Tbsp or two? a day) something which most folks who eat their allowable veg don't even need. I store my flax seed meal in the freezer to keep it from going rancid and it lasts for a very long time.
