Shirley A. Smith <smithsa@wvlc.wvnet.edu> requested diabetic recipes. Since I do not happen to know any diabetics, I have no experience cooking for them. However, I make gifts to donate to nursing homes each holiday season, and was interested in learning to make diabetic candies (since one cannot give "regular" candies since so many of the residents rae diabetic). Someone on an online service requested a recipe for seafoam candy, and then reported that she had tried it and that it was fantastic. She later mentioned that she is diabetic and prepares _ALL_ recipes using sugar substitutes, and that her family loves them as much as they love things made with sugar. I have not yet had a chance to experiment with this, but am passing it along just in case it sounds feasible. Good luck! And how wonderful to have found your long-lost sister and to be planning this wonderful reunion! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 3 Mar 1997 00:42:39 -0600 From: cbmcam@CYBERRAMP.NET Subject: REC: LF Ginger-Ginger Cookies (Cookie Cutter) While searching the web for lowfat recipes, I stumbled on this site. Several people have been requesting non-chocolate cookie cutter recipes and I found the one below at this site. I really recommend a visit to this one. LOTS of interesting pages here...not just recipes. Carla http://www.womensedge.com:80/weightloss/defatinator/desserts/ Other dessert recipes (all lowfat) at this site: Tiramisu Sugarless Apple Pie Heavenly Orange Cake Old Fashioned Strawberry Cake Peach Upside-Down Cake Ginger-Ginger Cookies Oatmeal-Pecan Lace Cookies Lemon Meringue Pie Chocolate Orange Hazelnut Biscotti Chocolate Marble Cheesecake Yogurt Cheese Carrot Cake Light Cream Cheese Frosting Buttermilk Raisin Bran Muffins Classic Chocolate Fondue Biscuit Mix Chocolate Zucchini Bread Walnut Muffins Raspberry Meringue Bars Summertime Fruit Pizza Sunday Morning Sticky Buns Zucchini Bread Applesauce Cake Cream Cheese Frosting Fresh Blueberry Pie Ginger-Ginger Cookies Ginger fans will be pleased to note that their favorite flavor is found in two forms in these rolled-and-cut cookies. There's the usual ground ginger, used as a spice, but the dough is also studded with tantalizing bits of crystallized ginger. With your favorite cookie cutters, match the shape to the holiday or occasion. So you can enjoy this holiday fare anytime of the year, we reduced the calories and fat by: * replacing the eggs with egg whites * using 1/4 cup reduced-calorie tub margarine instead of 1 cup of butter Calories 75 49 Fat (g.) 2 1 % Calories from Fat 24% 18% Cholesterol (mg.) 9 0 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup reduced-calorie tub margarine (8 grams of fat per tablespoon) 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar 2 large egg whites 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 tablespoon + 1 1/2 teaspoons minced crystallized ginger (1 ounce) Spray 2 large baking sheets with nonstick spray; set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, ground ginger, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon, cloves and salt. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer at medium speed, beat the margarine and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the egg whites and vanilla, and beat until well combined. With the mixer at low speed, gradually beat in the dry ingredients until well combined. Stir in the crystallized ginger. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, with a floured rolling pin, roll out half the dough to a 1/4-inch-thick round. Using cookie cutters in any shapes you prefer, cut out the dough. Arrange the cookies, 1 inch apart, on the prepared baking sheets. Place both baking sheets in the oven and bake the cookies for 5 minutes (switching the position of the sheets halfway through baking), or until the edges of the cookies are lightly browned. Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough and trimmings. Makes 3 dozen cookies; serving size 1.

It is manufactured from vegetable oils, vinegar and aged cheeses by Pfizer Food Science ( Pfizer Pharmaceutical Co? ). Also, I was told that salatrim has been approved by the FDA. If you call the 800# above, the Hershey Co. will mail you an information sheet on this product.

TeAntae, I have a very complicated recipe. (g) I use my leftover chicken and rice. I add canned chicken broth until soup is right consistency; heat and eat. Sometimes when I'm feeling a little adventurous, I throw in a little sage or perhaps some chopped fresh parsley.

I'm glad I did because now I have a question. It said to pipe whipped topping around the edges. I did that and it looked wonderful. The problem is it melted pronto, I mean within 30 seconds. The cake was completely cooled and I used the whipped topping in the tub. I was wondering if I used the kind in the can if that would stand up better. Does anyone have any experience with this? I like things to be quick and easy, but I will make the whipped topping from scratch if I have to. Any suggestions?

The consistency we were looking for was firm but not so firm you can bounce it off the floor, yet not runny either. We use the cheapy boxed stuff for our runny version. Y'know - those days when it is quite apparent the entire world has spent the night (while you were sleeping) conspiring to make your life difficult!! :-) Our recipe is as follows...... 1 pound pasta (we use anything that's on sale - shape doesn't matter too much - acine de pepe might be a little small, though......) 2 cans fat free evaporated milk ( comes to a bit shy of 3 cups liquid) 3 cups shredded cheese - if you use ricotta reduce the liquid by ~ 1/2 cup 2 eggs 1/2 cup melted butter (or a little more if your cholesterol is good) salt to taste Mix all liquids together in a large measuring cup (the easier to pour with!). Grease a 2-3 quart bowl and line with half the pasta, then half the cheese, the other half of the pasta then the other half of the cheese. Pour liquid over top and bake at 350 till firm. Should be 30 - 45 minutes depending on your oven. We finally got this right last night and I just couldn't contain my excitement. Hope eveyone who likes this consistency enjoys the recipe. The fat free evaporated milk is really fine to use - we did ours last night with jack and cheddar and it was almost too rich - you could easily get away with using less butter also if desired.

I was under the impression that coconut was definitely on the really high fat list, and then I saw Martha Stewart making a coconut cake. I think she drank the milk and said how good for you it was. This confused me. Is it the oil (from the coconut meat) that has a lot of fat? Is the milk relatively fat free? Or is it one of those like olive oil that raise the things that need to be raised--excuse me I get the saturate names mixed up.

Each member of the congregation brought a favorite dish, and all college students were made welcome (for free). Although everything served was delectable, this was always my favorite (and at the time I didn't even like either cooked carrots or creamed foods!). _EVERYONE_ loves this. 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, divided (1 tbsp., 2 tbsp., and 1 tbsp.) 1 pound (8 - 10) raw carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch disks ( 3 3/4 - 4 cups) Cold water 1 cup (1/4 lb) grated processed American cheese spread (e. g., Velveeta), divided (1/2 cup and 1/2 cup) 3/4 cup chopped raw onion (approximately 1 large onion) 2 tablespoons instant-blending flour (e. g., Wondra) 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard Pinch of black pepper 1 (8-ounce) container (1 cup) half and half cream, room temperature 1/4 cup dry unseasoned bread crumbs . Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. . Spread 1 tablespoon of the butter over bottom and sides of 1-quart casserole. Set aside. . Pour carrots into 2-quart saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover carrots. Cook over high flame until water comes to a boil. Lower flame to moderate and continue cooking until carrots are barely tender when pierced with a fork (about 6 minutes). Drain carrots in colander. Set aside until cool enough to touch. . Pour 1/3 of the drained carrots into the bottom of the greased casserole. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the cheese. Pour half of the remaining carrots into a layer over the cheese. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Top with remaining carrots. Set aside. . Melt 2 tablespoons butter in medium-sized skillet. Add chopped onion. Saute over low flame until golden (about 3 minutes). Sprinkle with flour, salt, mustard, and pepper. Stir with wire whisk until mixture forms a paste. . Gradually add cream (while continuing to stir constantly). Cook until thickened (consistency of a sauce). Pour over carrot-cheese mixture. Set aside. . Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in small pan. Add bread crumbs. Cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown. Sprinkle toasted bread crumbs evenly over contents of casserole. . Place on center shelf of oven and bake 25 minutes. Serve hot. Yield: 4 - 6 servings N. B. In addition to being delicious, it reheats perfectly, and is therefore ideal for covered dish, potluck, and buffet dinners. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 3 Mar 1997 19:36:03 -0600 From: Belle Thomas <bellet@IMAGIN.NET> Subject: Re: side dishes with peas Charmaine wrote: > > Does anyone have any side dish recipes for peas?

Hi Mary, Boy am I sorry that I didn't see this show. Coconut from what I understand is VERY BAD for you. Just to double check, I looked it up in my book of food counts, and here is what it said: coconut milk--- 1T has 50 calories and 5g of fat ( translates to 90% fat ) fresh shelled coconut--- 1 oz has 100 calories and 9.5g of fat ( 85% fat ) shredded coconut--- 2T has 60 calories and 4g of fat ( 60% fat ) It would be very interesting to check out her arteries if this is something she eats and drinks on a regular basis.

The body metabolized the different kinds in different ways, but it's still fat. You shouldn't have more than 30 (THIRTY!) grams of fat a day; so, I fail to see how downing a cup of 42.748 grams of saturated fat could be remotely healthy for you in any way, shape or form. I know it may be hard to believe...but... brace yourself... Martha Stewart is WRONG!!! <gasp> If you are concerned about the fat content of food, coconut is best left out of your diet. My house is considered a Coconut Free Zone. Use the extract if you absolutely have to have the flavor.
