Radish-Taters

Wednesday, October 18th, 2006

Clean a bag-full of regular everyday radishes.
Place in a saucepan with enough water to cover them.
Boil for 25 minutes.
End result: looks like and tastes like boiled red new potatoes.
The cooking leeches out the “bite” of the radishes.
Serve with corned beef & cabbage for a taste treat, just buttered with salt
and pepper.

Fake French Toast

Wednesday, October 18th, 2006

(author unknown)
1 egg
2 T Ricotta cheese or 2 T cream cheese
1 t vanilla
dash of cinnamon and nutmeg
1 packet of Splenda
dash of salt
If using cream cheese, warm it up first in the microwave until it’s soft,
then add rest of the ingredients. Whisk until well blended. Pour into a
heated well greased skillet and cook. Flip and cook on other side.
Note: This can be hard to flip. Be sure to cook the first side really well
(until the “pancake” looks set) then carefully flip. I am successful most
of the times when I wait until just the right time to flip.
Top with butter or cinnamon cream cheese and enjoy.

What do ya think of this???

Tuesday, October 17th, 2006

I am making a cheesecake for the weekend.
I got some of that Divinci sugar free stuff, 2 bottles at TJMaxx (kalua and
ameretto flavor) for $5.99 each. I’m going to make a marble swirl cake with
splenda and the kalua instead of chocolate. And for crust how about if I use
the flakes from the Atkins cereal?
Any ideas, input??
Thanks
