Its been a week for me on Phase I. I've got to work harder on meals at what resembles proper times. I did make diet soda Jell-O last night and looking forward to trying that. I think last nights dinner was the best so far. Wild salmon is in season on the west coast so I bought one and had them fillet it. I baked the fillets in a foil pan for about 10 minutes on the top "warming rack" of the outside grill. (It was a bit over 400 degrees) Topped it first with some green onions, some I can't Believe its Not Butter Spray, salt, pepper, and fresh dill. (I'd never have fresh dill on had but one of their recipes called for it so it was in the refrigerator). I sprayed the pay with cooking spray first and added a little water as well. Our cats never eat people food. Last night was an exception. One cat was begging to be fed bites. The other stole a chunk from the dog. And Charlie loved it so everybody was happy. Anybody else want to share the best or the easiest meal they've had so far? Jo I have had the summer squash and zucchini with walnut which was just yummy. I think that was in the orange recipe book. I will have to try the 'mashed' cauliflower again as when we discovered the cream was bad, we substituted Ricotta. It was not so good. But my dance studio owner says she loves it and her eight year nodded her head - she likes it too. I think that means it MUST be good if an eight year old ate it. I have been making myself a hamburger patty and putting about a tablespoon of crumbled blue cheese on the top. I cook a small onion and about 10 mushrooms with the burger and I have a salad to go with that. I think I have decided that I don't like Ricotta cheese. I made one of those desserts and it was pretty nasty. Back to the Jell-O. Oh, I discovered that the cans of soda are by Waist Watchers - not Weight Watchers. It is made by the Adirondack Beverage Company. I was much amused by the fact that I thought the can said that www.waist-watchers.com was their site. Turns out that belongs to a some sort of condom company. Can't imagine why they choose the name waist watchers... But back on topic, my favorite meal has been the Greek Salad I got a Panera Bread company and I have had it without the roll. lol Duckie > Its been a week for me on Phase I.

I may just eat jello from now on, LOL :)))) Carole :) Isn't it amazing how that soda turns the Jell-O into something yummy. As to the Ricotta -- I think it is it's texture. I thought it would be creamy and it is filled with tiny little bumps. Doesn't come close to cheese cake. lol Am I doing something wrong?

The BEST jello shots I've ever had were lime jello and Black Cherry Vodka. I hardly ever drink alcohol because of my kidney disease, but once or twice a year, allow myself the privelege. I had some of these flavored shots at a barbecue cookoff and got blitzed!! LOL That cooking team was the most popular that year. :-) Mag > >I've been making the Jell-O with the soda and with less liquid so it is firm > >enough to cut in cubes and eat with your fingers. 12 oz boiling water and [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > -- > Kiyoshi - The reverse side also has a reverse side. Looks yummy! (Shaking my head and laughing) I've attended a few functions where these jello squares have been very popular. I, unfortunately, was not able to sample any.

I find the ricotta desserts very good as far a flavor and as far as being filling. Not wild about the texture. I did make the "mashed potatoes" tonight. They look great and taste good as long as you actually like cauliflower. But there is a slight underlying gritty texture. Maybe if I had a better food processor. I wouldn't advise them at the same meal with the ricotta. Jo > I did make the "mashed potatoes" tonight. They look great and taste good as > long as you actually like cauliflower.

The lore on the low-carb diet group is that you should cook a clove of garlic with the cauliflower and that reduces the "cabbage" taste. When I cook it that way, and then reheat, like twice baked potatoes, I've served them to people who were surprised to find that they were eating cauliflower and not mashed potatoes.

Sounds like a good idea. I'll try the garlic. Jo > I have had the summer squash and zucchini with walnut which was just > yummy. I think that was in the orange recipe book.

I might have to buy the recipe book, even if I'm not really doing that diet! We both like vegetables and are always happy to find new variations to old themes.
