Maybe this has already been mentioned on this message board, but I have two recipes that I LOVE and want to share:

Personally, the chili was not my favorite. But, now it is running right up at the top of my favorites list! I looked up the Skyline Chili recipe on the net and decided to tweek the MF chili as much as I could to match it. I like salsa in my chili and I've heard others mention using it, so I put a couple of tablespoons in along with one beef boullion cube and one cup of water. I also added a smidgen of cinnamon and 2 whole cloves. I let the soup simmer until the beans were soft. This was SO good! Now...those cloves...you may just be able to pick them out before eating, but most likely not. Be sure to "keep an eye out" for them while chewing...uh, BEFORE chewing down on one!

This morning I had pancakes. I put about 1/3 c. of water into the apple cinnamon oatmeal mix, stirred it and let it sit for a couple of minutes until thick. I spooned "blobs" onto a teflon skillet that I had sprayed with Pam. As they browned on one side, I flipped them over. It didn't take long, but you do have to stand there and watch them so they don't burn. I put them on a plate, sprinkled them with Splenda and cinnamon that I had mixed together. I felt like I was at the fair eating one of those deep fried waffles....well, almost!

Give it a try! Hope you enjoy!

I have to add a HALLELUIA for whomever first added a little salsa to their chili and posted about it. I was not fond of the chili, but it was okay. After 2 tbsp. of my favorite salsa it is more than manageable and actually quite enjoyable. I will try the cloves thing, Karen, it sounds like it's worth the effort!

I to have tried the pancakes and sprinkled with a little Molly McButter and a tiny dab of sugar-free sryup, but usually prefer the cookies to the pancakes. I didn't try the cinnamon/splenda topping, that might do the trick!

Thanks!

I made a pancake out of the maple brown sugar oatmeal and all I can say is YUM! Just like you I put a little splenda and cinnamon on tip and some I can't believe it's not butter spray and I was loving it. The other day I put some davinci's sf syrup on it, can't remember which flavor but that was good with it too. Thanks so much for the idea!
