An idea for a hot summer day...

We own a gourmet coffee and shaved ice business and one of my favorite treats is a sugar free shaved ice. The SF syrup we use has no carbs or calories- and it is really strong in flavor.

If you haven't tried shaved ice....we call it "snow"...it is much better than your normal snow cone. A fruity one is the consistency of sorbet. M-m-m-m.

If you were not ...

Does anyone see any reason why I could not have homemade chicken soup and a side of cooked veggies for dinner?

I would make it with chicken broth, fresh chicken parts, celery, parsley and onions (and I will eat 7 ounces of the white meat cooked chicken).

Is that wrong?

This may be my favorite recipe for grilled chicken. I think it is compliant, especially since you don't really "eat" the marinade. Someone, please, let me know if it's not!

4T lemon zest
2/3 c. lemon juice
4t ginger, peeled & minced
4t brown sugar(substitute splenda)
1Tpeanut oil
1T salt
dried chili peppers, as desired(bottled hot sauce is fine)
Marinate chicken 12-24 hours, grill, enjoy!!

I usually scrape away the lemon zest & ginger before ...

Hi,

I just wanted to share what I made today. It was scrumptious. I may have went over a little I am not sure. I am not good at figuring that out. But I wanted to share this with you all. I am planning on having it at least once a week! Here ya go:

I browned my ground beef till good and brown. While it was browning I sauteed onions and green pepper in ...

I think I was inspired to try this by something I read in here a while ago, but I made these tonight and they were delicious!

3 smallish turnips, peeled and sliced 1/4" thick (looked like 1 1/2 cups to me)
Spread out on a baking sheet and lightly spray with olive oil spray.
Sprinkle with garlic salt and fresh ground black pepper.
Bake at 425 for 10 minutes, flip over, bake another 5 minutes. ...

OK, I FINALLY got a little tired of grilled chicken and steak and fish, with the occasional lamb thrown in as a treat. So this week I made low-carb, low-fat chicken parmesan (chicken breast, low-sugar pasta sauce, fat-free mozzarella, baked in the oven). Yummmm.

And yesterday I finally found low-fat and fat-free feta, which the store closest to me at the old house didn't carry. So I picked up some egg substitute, and this weekend ...

I saw a hummingbird this morning and it was so beautiful flitting among the calla lilies! It was the first bright spot I’ve seen this week.

:shock: Imagine! Memorial Day weekend was an indoor event here – too much rain and :lightening: blustery weather for an outdoor barbecue.

:hmmm: I wonder ...

i'm wondering b/c my sister wants to order but isn't quite ready today to do it. can she order tomorrow (saturday) or sunday or will she have to wait until monday?

Medifast said they do not recommend turkey sausage probably because of added sugars!

Well.....

I've found an alternative---MAKE YOUR OWN!!!

Start by adding 1/4 tsp EACH fennel seeds and dried sage to
1 pound ground turkey BREAST meat.

Make into patties. Fry in H20 & freeze in individual patties.

Voila! Homemade "sausage"

If you like 'em hot (like me) add red pepper flakes.
Like maple flavoring? Add some Da Vinci SF Maple syrup.

I make ...

Hi! I've been lurking here for a couple of weeks and am week 2 of the program. I bought two boxes of the punch because it was on sale, but find I don't really care for it. I would love to trade my one full box for any of the following.

Any shakes.
Chocolate pudding.
Any bars.
Chicken Rice Soup.


Please PM me if interested!


Thanks!
