1/2 cup splenda
1 packet knox gelatine
1/8 cup boiling water
splash of vanilla

puree strawberries and sweeten (very sweet) with splenda (i used liquid splenda) let stay in fridge for 2 days to release all of the flavors. in a large bowl soften cream cheese, In a separate bowl...mix gelatine in with the boiling water and 1/4 cup strawberry puree until the gelatine is all activated. Mix all together and add more sweetner if needed.

Blend until all is mixed and creamy....let set overnight.

Well here are my contributions I am bad about measuring and tend to eyeball everything.....but I will try to give approximates


Broccoli Slaw Salad

2 bags broccoli slaw mix
1 - 2 stalks of fresh broccoli
1/2 to 1 lb of cooked crumbled bacon
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped (very fine) red onion
1/2 cup sunflower seeds (more if you like)
Mayo mixed with splenda

Wash and chop the fresh broccoli, you only want the very heads of the broccoli. I like to chop it into small bite size peices. Mix with the slaw mix, onion, cheese, bacon and sunflower seeds. Mix in the mayo/splenda mixture. I have found it is easier to use a HUGE bowl and use my hands to mix. This tastes WAY better when it sets overnight. I haev yet to take this anywhere that people didn't love it.....lowcarbers or not.



Quiche from breakfast Thurs morning

1 dozen eggs
1 1/2 cup half & half (if you use heavy cream a little less)
1/2 - 1 lb of cooked crumbled bacon
2 - 3 cups chopped frozen broccoli
2 sm cans mushrooms
2 - 3 cups sharp cheddar cheese
season salt
pepper
onion powder
garlic powder

Mix eggs and half & half. Add spices. I use alot of onion powder. You could use onions but I prefer to use the powder and skip the extra carbs. Add the remaining ingredients and put in a Pam sprayed casserole dish and bake at 350 for approximately 45 minutes or until the knife comes out clean. DO NOT OVERCOOK!!!!!

1 - 2 jalapeno peppers, finely diced --depending on your love for *hot*.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken breast halves on a medium baking sheet. IF you're in a hurry boil em.
Bake in the preheated oven 20 minutes, or until no longer pink. Remove from heat, cool and shred.
Place shredded chicken in a medium bowl, and mix in cream cheese, mayonnaise, Cheddar cheese, green chile peppers and jalapeno pepper. Transfer the chicken mixture to a medium baking dish.

[Pami]

2 pounds ground beef
2 medium onions, chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
6 ounces tomato paste
14 ounces canned diced tomato
30 ounces canned black soybeans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup chili powder
12 ounces Michelob Ultra
salt, to taste
Splenda, to taste (I used 2 drops)

Saute ground beef until no longer pink.

Add onion, green pepper and garlic; continue cooking until veggies are soft, but not brown.

Stir in remaining ingredients and bring to boil.

Reduce heat and allow to simmer for at least one hour.

Tastes even better if chilled, then reheated.

[Pami]

3 pounds cabbage, finely chopped
1 Tablespoon dehydrated onion flakes
1/3 cup Splenda bulk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 1/2 Tablespoons white vinegar
2 1/2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish

Combine the Splenda, salt, pepper, cream, mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, lemon juice and horseradish in a large bowl and beat until smooth.

Add the cabbage and onion, and mix well.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight, before serving.

[Pami]

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1 package taco seasoning mix
1/2 package Mission Lowcarb Tortillas, soft taco size
Add-ins of your choice

Beat cream cheese, sour cream and taco seasoning until smooth.

Stir in any add-ins. (I used 1/3 cup salsa; I have used green onions, chopped black olives, shredded Cheddar cheese, etc. in the past.)

Divide mixture between 4 tortillas; spread evenly.

Stack the tortillas as evenly as possible, top with the remaining (plain) tortilla.

Cover tightly and refrigerate several hours, or overnight, until cream cheese is firm again.

With a sharp knife, cut stack into 16 wedges.

[Pami]

4 pounds hot dogs
29 ounces tomato sauce
3/4 cup white vinegar
5 packets Splenda
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 Tablespoon salt
1/4 cup SugarSlim brown sugar substitute
1/4 cup brown Sugar Twin
4 Tablespoons whiskey

I used 2 pounds of hot dogs and 2 pounds of lil' smokies.

Cut the hot dogs into 1" chunks; leave the lil' smokies whole.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine all ingredients and stir well.

Heat to boiling.

Reduce heat and simmer 1 hour.

Just Like Stuffed Baked Potatoes is the recipe I made. You can find it at Linda's Low Carb Recipes. http://users3.ev1.net/~fontlady/index.html. Of course I made some changes and made it easier, lol! Mine comes out just like hers with a lot less effort.

The ingriedients are 1 bag of frozen cauliflower, thawed, 5 scallion onions chopped, 1 pack of bacon bits or 5 slices of cooked and crumbled bacon, 8 oz of cream cheese softened and 8 oz of cheddar.

Chop the cauliflower into chunks and nuke for 10 min in a small casserole dish. Add everything and stir, then smooth out in the dish. Dust with paprika and a little butter if you like. A little pepper on top is good too. Bake at 350 till brown and bubbly, 25 to 40 min. Just keep an eye on it. I do spray the dish with Pam first.

OMG you guys everything was sooooooo good. I have already made the Alomst Loaded Potato.....big hit with my daughter....she loved it. I am thinking of trying the stuffed mushrooms this weekend. Mimi's Chicken Enchilada Dip is wonerful too....OMG and that cool whip thingy that Caro made is scarey.....I will have to stay away from that one or I will be in trouble. Cheri's cheesecake is on that same category.....very very good but not something i need in my house....I would eat it ALL!!!!!!!

Everything was great......thanks to everyone for contributing and also for coming to the gathering and making it wonderful. I even have to say that I enjoyed the ruddabega salad.....how the hell do spell that anyway?

The pizza thingy doesn't have a recipe.

I use 1 lb of hamburg,1lb of sauage (sometimes a little more of each)

I brown meat put in chopped peppers and onions if desired then add pepperoni (cut up) and mushrooms (opt) I cook for a while , drain a little then put in a can of pizza sauce (the lowest carb one that you can find)
Place in casserole dish and cover with mozzeralla and bake 30 to 45 minutes.

My whole family loves it and I make it quite often for a side dish to replace the potatoes that they never get anymore.They seem satified. But boys refuse to call it pizza.(without th crust)
