Thanks for the tofu recipe. I didn't like it before but I will try your recipe. It sounds yummy.

The turkey pepperoni chips sound awesome! I will save that one for sure. I also saved the tofu recipe. Can't wait to try these!

Turkey pepperoni chips! I have gotten so many of my non-WLS friends hooked these.

Once I gradauted to "foods as tolerated" my absolute must-have was Hormel turkey pepperoni. I lay them out on about 4 paper towels (25 - 30 of them will fit), and microwave them until they start to darken and most of the oils have cooked out. In my microwave, this is right around 1 m 30 s. As soon as you pull them out, blot them (hard) dry with another wad of paper towels, and then let them cool. They will be very crunchy, and very flavorful. They make a great low/no carb "chip". I like using them as scoops for cottage cheese or "garden vegetable" cream cheese. I pack them into ziplocs for on-the-go meals, and for when I travel.

You can also make little mini pepperoni pizzas by following the above instructions then adding a tiny amount of pizza sauce and shredded mozz cheese to each one!! I do this sometimes when my family is having pizza.

I use the silken tofu in my Protein Shakes, adds an additional 5 gr Protein and has the consistancy of yogurt. No taste at all. This is the bravest I have gotten with the tofu so far but I am willing to branch out. I have the Shirataki noodles to try too. I hear those can be great if done correctly.
