Tonite I made Low Fat Chicken Marco Polo.

6 Ounce Chicken breast (beat it as thin and flat as you can get it)
1.5 Ounce finely diced lean ham
Chopped Brocoli (It is Impossible to get your whole veggie serving in the breast, so measure out your 2 cups, get what you can in, and steam the rest for a side dish)
1 slice Kraft American Cheese--the lowfat, of course!!
The following to taste:
Onion ...

Got this idea from Vosges chocolates, which I adore.

Hot cocoa packet
8-10 oz water
1/4-1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8-1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
splash vanilla extract
(I don't measure, I just shake)

Mix it up and drink it hot or cold. It's got a nice hint of warmth in the back of your throat when you drink it. Go easy on the cayenne until you figure out how much you like!

Sometime ago, I read that the Oatmeal Raisin Bar was good heated in the microwave. :secret:

Well, I tried it just now and it's the best!! :yes: It tastes just like a spice cake with frosting on top! I'd eat these 5 x a day if allowed, that's for sure!

This is a diet???????? ...

I have read of several recipes using cheese.....

I am looking for some advice about what kind of allowable cheese is best tasting and which ones are good to cook with?

I do know cheese, but just the full fat variety of my few favorites. I have never purchased fat free cheese after one package of American FF cheese...that had the consistency of some form of plastic.

Also, Parmesan cheese has been mentioned in recipes. ...

Alright pepes, here's the question.

I want to make some Chicken Diane. As we know that takes Brandy. Can we cook with brandy because it get's cooked out? Or is it just out of the question all together?

Supermom's post about Zucchini boats reminded me of a recipe I might try again.
We used to make Italian Zucchini Pie alot... here are the basics (minus the biscuit in the bottom of the pan).

Combine the flollowing in a skillet and saute with a small amount of olive oil or cooking spray:
4 C. Sliced zucchini into 1/4 to 1/2 inch slices.
Add 1 C chopped onion.
2 t. minced garlic.
2 T Parsley ...

Okay--Tonite I made zuchini boats. They were DELICIOUS!!

Cut one zuchini in half length wise
Scoop out the seeds, but leave most of the flesh intact
Spray the "boat" inside and out with Mazola non stick extra virgin olive oil spray, sprinkle with onion powder

Filling:
Slightly brown 5 ounces of ground turkey or chicken (you can use beef or pork, but reduce the amount to 4 ounces) {double the amount if you want to ...

Ok, here is the plan. I want to make a mushroom stuffed with chicken and some cheese...but I don't know how.

My first thought would be this...

1. Put some soy sauce on the mushroom and chicken.
2. Slice the chicken and place some shredded cheese inside the mushroom cap
3. Bake!

First question. How can you accurately judge the size of a mushroom cap? I don't know how I could figure out what 1 ...

OK - bare it all.
What spices do you have in your collection?
Which are your favorite & for what meals?
Cheers,

Well, almost ice cream. I stuck a couple of chocolate RTDs in the freezer, with the intent to try my bro-in-law's (Mike) suggestion of letting it thaw during the day, so then I have a nice cold RTD around lunch time. Except that I wanted one last night for my last supplement. Why? No good reason, really, except that I was feeling too lazy to tear open a packet. Sooooo . . . I got ...
