I few months ago someon posted a link for a number of muffin tin recipes and I can not find it. Can someone please post the link again. Or any link to muffin pan recipes. THANKSSSS

I found this recipe on Pinterest a while but just tried it tonight. http://peaceloveandl...ml#.USQS_mfheSq I've made a few recipes from her blog. I don't think she's a WLS patient, just a low carber. This was very good! The only change I made was using skim milk instead of heavy cream (thought I had some but I didn't). I thought about adding some turkey bacon or chicken but it proved to be plenty with just the ham. I could only eat half. This is what I got in MFP. But, be warned, I estimate quantities a lot when I cook. I thought some of you might enjoy! (I'm a novice in the kitchen and kinda lazy but I didn't find this too challenging.)

I can't find the recpie that was posted a few months ago. Peanut butter, chocolate protein, splenda, and raw oats...can anyone help???

1 banana 2 egg (makes 2 large pancakes) Blend really good ( I used the magic bullet) Spray pan with EVO - pour batter into fairly hot pan. Serve with sugar free jam or fruit I made this morning and I thought they were awesome. Very easy to eat Enjoy

Lot to do with these things have fun

Made these the other night and they were yummy! They aren't very sweet though so if you want a little more sweetness add some Splenda or even some honey or agave. The calorie info for these is without any of that though. Going to add some dries cranberries in next time! 1 banana (mashed up so it's smooth) 1/2 cup whole oats 1/2 scoop of vanilla Protein powder (could use more but didn't want an over powering whey taste) 1 egg white Mix the banana, protein and egg white together. Add the oatmeal and combine. Drop Cookies on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 15 or so minutes until light brown. They don't have a cookie texture per say but are a great snack if …

Very good tried the other night. 1/2 head cauliflower. Grated 1 whole egg plus one egg white, lightly beaten 1/4 cup 2% shredded mozzarella cheese Dried basil, oregano, and parsley 1 teaspoon olive oil Preheat oven 350 Mix all ingredients together (except oil ) in a large bowl until evenly mixed. Line a baking pan with parchment paper and use olive oil to grease the paper. Spread and flatten the cauliflower mixture on the parchment paper evenly. About 1" thick. Square off the edges so it looks like a rectangle or square. Bake 40 min. Until slightley dried out, browing and firm to the touch. Remove from oven. Carefully flip sicks over and retu…

Has anyone tried these? I was just wondering. If they are worth it or just a pile of gummy yuck. They do come in many shapes and sizes.

I love getting 20g of Protein in a veggie burger but am resistant to eat a lot of soy since it's been linked to breast cancer. Any other big protein for small quantity foods out there that don't have soy?

Just want to put out a recomendation for a product I eat almost every day. I am a vegitarian. Veggie Patch Meatless meatball. 6 balls 150 cals and 15g protien. Very tasty and easy and simple to portion. http://www.veggiepatch.com/

Anyone have any great recipes or good advise on using chia seed?

Try with a cauliflower crust to cut out the carbs. http://www.livebetteramerica.com/recipes/white-bean-and-spinach-pizza/97ba34e4-70dd-4561-a3f2-87572c9bb1bb

http://www.texanerin.com/2012/04/grain-free-peanut-butter-chocolate-chip.html I would use unsweetened dark chocolate (lots of anti-oxidants!) and either agave or Splenda. Worth a shot if you need a sweets fix.

I am almost 6 moths post op and getting sick of the same old turkey/cheese snack every day. I discovered pumpkin seeds are much higher in protein than carbs! They are a pretty salty, but a nice change!

For all of you who are able to eat salads....I just made italian dressing tonight and I substituted out a portion of the oil for a cornstarch and Water mixture. Here's what I did: Mix 2T cornstarch with 1/2 cup water. Heat until boiling and thickened. After heating add more cold water as necessary to make a consistency slightly thicker than oil. refrigerate to cool. While your cornstarch mixture is cooling, mix together 1T garlic powder, 1T onion powder, 1/4t pepper, 1t sea salt, 1 heaping T oregano, 1T basil, green pepper or "veggie" flakes if you have them. 1/2 t of sugar (optional) put 1/4 cup of olive oil, 2T apple cider vinegar, the juice of 1/2 a lemon or li…

Homemade Veggie Burger 1 cup canned black Beans drained 1 carrot grated 1-3 medium potatoes grated 4 scallions chopped 1/2 onion diced 1 cup of frozen corn thawed Salt and pepper Mash the black beans, add the veggies and mix well.

Is anyone else munching on these as much as me? So delicious/nutritious and completely cures all oily fatty salty craving I have! My personal recipe is: • 1 bunch kale • 1 tablespoon coconut oil • sea salt • grated asiago cheese - Preheat oven to 300° - Take apart the kale by separating it from the large stems and breaking it in to bite size pieces - Toss in large bowl with melted coconut oil until evenly coated - Spread out on to cookie sheet (you'll most likely need 2) and sprinkle with sea salt to taste and asiago cheese - Place in oven for 20 minutes or until extremely crisp and slightly browned.

So I made my homemade granola for my yogurt because I really don't like the tanginness. I added cinnamon and Splenda to my yogurt then I made my granola, here's my recipe: 3 1/2 cups rolled oats 1 1/2 tbs ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 cup SF vanilla syrup 1/2 cup SF almond syrup 2 cups slithered almonds Mix it all together and place on a sprayed baking sheet and baked at 325 until golden brown and crunchy. Tastes so so good.

Has anyone made high protein brownies? I'm looking for an easy recipe. I ve seen a lot of recipes on the Internet but wonder which ones taste the best.

First of all, let me say that I know that popcorn is a slider food and has carbs. I know that you should not be eating it early out because the hulls could get stuck in your suture. I am almost 2 years post op and I love popcorn and eat it in moderation. I have found a way (with some research and experimenting) to make a sweet and salty popcorn with no added fat or sugar. It is the paper bag in the microwave method. It is not glazed like kettle corn, but it still tastes yummy! Warning though, lots of the popcorn seeds do not pop, so I put a little extra in. 1/4 cup popcorn kernels (I use white popcorn) 1 tsp of Torani Syrup (I use vanilla, and I have tried brown …

Has anyone used coconut sugar as a sweetener? I HATE splenda, sweet n low, anything with aspartame! Just wondering if this is a healthy substitute since it is in my peanut butter powder and I love it. Thanks!

Here is a tasty little treat I concocted the other day and it tastes just like a liquid Almond Joy! 1 cup of Almond Milk/Coconut Blend (new product on the shelves by Blue Diamond) 3 tbsp. Hershey's sugar free chocolate syrup Mix until well combined....TASTY!!! Hope you enjoy!

I saw the Taco Soup recipe! That sounds sooo good, but I'm looking for more. Does anyone know how to cook up some mean tofu?? I've never made tofu before, but would love to learn how and make it good! I like to use Boca crumbles and Morningstar bacon. I plan to go to Whole Foods to see what other meat alternatives would be RNY-friendly. I also need recipes that my 2 1/2-year might eat. She's sooo picky--worse than me! LOL

I had a bite of my daughter's ice cream. It was so sickening sweet that i had to get a drink of Water. I went home and made some SF Protein ice cream (Lemon Meringue flavor). It called for sugar free lemon Cookies. I went to three stores trying to find SF baked goods. There was maybe one SF pie on the shelf. I ended up making my own cookies too! I just adapted my lemon shortbread recipe to be healthier. It's not lowfat by any means, but it's whole grain and sugar free. I didn't have whole grain flour so I had to use Trader Joes whole grain baking mix. It still worked, but was a little more salty that I would have liked. Here's the recipe if you want to try them. !…

Saw this Chobani Greek Yogurt Conversion Chart for use in replacing butter, mayo, oil, etc. in recipes. I plan to try it and wanted to share with y'all.

Okay so when i was browsing around on pinterest i came across this recipe for a bread substitute. I made it last night and i must say I thought it was delicious. Whats even better is I am doing lilmissdiva's boot camp this week and I can eat this because it is only made with eggs cream of tartar and cream cheese ( or cottage cheese). It is delicious and very very easy to make! I was craving something sweet last night so I took a half of one and put some sugar free syrup on it. It literally tasted like a pancake! If you are missing bread and dont want to eat all of the carbs, this is a perfect substitute. best part of it is that it is extra protein! I used fat free cr…

I'm a foodie and love to cook. Found this awesome recipe on Pinterest. Only 100 calories and 8 grams of protein! 12 ounces shelled edamame - fresh or frozen. If frozen, thaw. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 tablespoon olive oil Salt and pepper to taste Mix all ingredients together Put in a single layer on a cookie sheet or cake pan Roast at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Check and if not very slightly brown, roast for five more minutes. Really yummy! My family loves these!

I had about 1/2 lb of strawberries that were almost on their way out. Not good enough to eat raw but not bad enough to throw them out. I cut them up added 2T of balsamic vinegar and cooked them down. I added some splenda to taste and also thickened it with cornstarch. I just made an awsome topping for my protein ice cream. Having some right now on top of chocolate.

Poke (pronounced Poh-Kay) salad is an absolute favorite of mine, but I didn't even know about it until about a year ago. I frequently ate this pre-op, but considering how great it is post-op (I couldn't get my daily Protein in until I added sashimi), hopefully sashimi lovers out there will enjoy it as well. For now I'm omitting a few ingredients (not yet on my OK foods list) but it's still awesomeness. 1/2 lb Maguro (or preferred type) tuna sashimi, cubed into 1/2" bites 1-2 stalks of green onions, chopped (not the onion part, just the green tops) 1.5 tbls of soy sauce 1 tbl of sesame seed oil 1/4 tsp chili oil 1/8 C purple laver (purple seaweed, can alsu use wa…

When I went for my 9 months check up, my cholesterol had risen to 233. It certainly wasn't from what I was eating, it is because of my heredity. So I read up on the things you could eat to help lower cholesterol - in contrast with getting back on statin drugs. I ate oatmeal every morning for 90 days, added flax seed and fish oil to my diet, and take cinamon and red rice yeast supplements every morning (pills). At the 12 month checkup, my cholesterol had dropped by 41 points to 192! The "good" cholesterol level had stayed the same, the deficit all came from the "bad" cholesterol. I was eating the Bariatric Choice high Protein oatmeal, fixed with Water in the microwave.…

Has any one tried these Tofu noodles? I hear they pass as a decent spaghetti noodle with out the carbs.

Made these for the first time today and they are amazing! Tasty way to meet your Protein goals for the day! One tip, if they are too dry just keep adding Water to the mix until you get the desired consistency you want. http://www.ehow.com/way_5494991_easy-high-protein-bar-recipe.html

My husband and I are both sleeved and we spend a TON of money on greek yogurt. My fridge is always full of cups of Chobani and Fage. About a week ago I discovered that you can make yogurt at home, so last night I did! And it turned out PERFECT. You don't need any special equipment or machines. I used our dutch oven, but any heavy bottomed pot will do. The directions look long, but it pretty much makes itself once you've warmed up the milk. It is the definition of something that a lazy non-cook can make. I got the recipe from this website. http://www.happysimpleliving.com/2011/03/06/make-your-own-homemade-greek-yogurt/ STUFF YOU NEED: 1/2 gallon of dairy milk (I used…

Saw this on Dr. Oz today, so I haven't tried it yet. All it is, is one box of chocolate cake mix, 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt and 1 cup of water. No eggs or oil! Bake at 350. They didn't say how long. I would start checking a little before the recommended time on the box. I can't wait to try! <3

Found this on Pinterest.. sounds yummy and might be a good occassional sweet tooth solution for some of us..

I subscribe to a local food co-op so every two weeks I get a bag of fresh veggies delivered to my door. This week's box had some fresh yellow squash but other than sautee it, I had no idea how to prepare. Since I am on mushies I started looking for a casserole that had a lot of flavor. This is what I found: 2 lbs of squash (could mix with zucchini if you like) 1 medium onion 1 can cream of mushroom soup 2 eggs 2 cups of cheddar cheese 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs Here is where I made some changes... 1 - Slice the squash and onion either steam or boil or sautee until soft. I chose to steam the squash in my microwave steamer until it was soft. I didn't have an…

Heat until the peanut butter melts thoroughly. Stir until well blended. Spoon and spread mixture into pan. Refrigerate until firm, then slice into at least 15 squares.

I know that we are supposed to avoid carbs, but if you just love pancakes and cant stop (like me) then I have a great way to enjoy them while getting in ALOT of protein. betty crocker complete pancake mix (makes 3 pancakes) 1/3 cup of the mix (5 grams protein) 1 egg mixed in (6 grams protein) 1/2 scoop protein shake mix ( I used Matrix bananas and cream flavor) (11.5 grams protein) 1/4 cup lowfat milk (3.5 grams of protein) mix it all together and fry it up. I dont even use syrup because the flavor from the shake mix makes it taste yummy all on its own. in all it is 26 grams of protein, and 25 grams of carbs for those who count them. I absolutely loved them, and …

I just had my VSG surgery on Dec. 20, 2011. I am just now starting the pureed foods. I was having a craving for dessert, so I decided to mash up a banana and dip it in chocolate pudding to which I added 15g of protein powder. It is just like having a chocolate dipped banana!!! Try it out!
