Yes you boil a head of cauliflower, I cut mine up first, add butter and cheese and mash it up with a mixer.

I am on atkins so allowed all of this but you can try substituting whatever, I also threw in some fresh garlic and onions for a really yummy flavor, it is wonderful!

See, now this sounds pretty good!

Tastes just like pumpkin pie!

3 egg whites, 2/3 cup of sugar ( I add everything but egg whites and use Splenda to taste first), 1 teasp. Ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground Ginger, 1/4 teasp. Nutmeg, dash ground cloves (tip- if I am in a hurry, I use pumpkin pie spice instead- tastes the same & faster)!

1 can of 15 oz. Solid pack pumpkin ( not the pumpkin pie mix!)
1 teasp. Vanilla extract, one 12-oz. Can fat-free evaporated milk
In large bowl, mix all together.

Pour into ungreased custard cups and put cups into a 13x9 inch baking pan.
Carefully pour in about 1& 1/2 inches of water- don't splash into the custard!

Bake @ 325 degrees for 35-45 minutes (depends on your oven) OR until a knife or toothpick inserted in center of custard comes out clean.

Serve warm or cold. Can easily double recipe. One custard cup equals 125 calories, trace of fat, 2 mg cholesterol, 26 grams of carbs, 2 grams fiber, 5 grams of protein. Diabetic exchange: 1-1/2 starch.

**To clarify, I do not use the sugar the recipe calls for due to my Uh... sugar addiction. Before I put the egg whites in, I sprinkle Splenda into the mixture until sweet enough for me and then mix in the egg whites. It bakes, tastes fine without sugar**

Y'all rock! THANKS for the info about the califlower. I don't want to freak the parental units out too much with too much change, so I'll probably just make them a small side dish version of potatoes. I am going to be make most of my side dishes as fresh veggies... instead of the heavy casserole type dishes. Green bean casserole is a given though... but can switch to the fat free or healthy choice cream of mushroom and the green beans can be the kind with no salt added. Hey, every little modification helps. I still haven't decided between ham or turkey yet.

I am going to try out the califlower puree on me and D one night... and see if she snubs her nose at it. I'm thinking with enough seasoning (& a sprinkle of cheese), she'll try anything

Anya, thank you so much for the custard receipe! It look soooo good and I can't wait to try it out!

Well, I bit the bullet and got on the scale this morning. Yep, a 5 pound gain. I refuse to beat myself up about it... because pms is knocking at the door, so I know most of it is hormone/water related! Anyway, my focus is strong again and I'm hitting this head on! Watch out y'all

i am so SO happy..
had my weigh in yesterday, and am now at 58 lbs lost total!
that's 2 friggin' lbs shy of 60, goodness!!! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

- my confidence is out of this world, i LOVE it...
- so many changes in me, especially within, let alone the obvious stuff..
- my growing strength though, is the best part of this journey..

i am so incredibly happy, and feel tremendous about doing this the healthy way with you all, it's a slow process, but knowing i am doing this and KEEPING it off, feels fabulous, eh!

and the energy level, goodness !!!
still have more to go, i'm not setting any weight goals, i get overwhelmed with weight goals.. i just set them in 10 lb increments... and will keep losing until i feel good about myself, that's my real goal in this, to feel my healthiest, happiest and look in a mirror and love the beautiful girl looking back at me and know i'm worthy!

You are all doing wonderfully, and loving all the tips & discussions..
i learn so so much through You all, and keep motivated through you all as well.. Cheers to all of us for doing this the right way, it may be slow going, but it's sooo worth it !♥

Joined weight watchers for the I don't know how many time

BUT I am determined to do this. I think that my fat feeds a negativity that I want to let go of. This protective shield is not protecting me from anything. I made it through the first day despite some stress that would have sent me to a binge-- So on to day 2!
Would love to hear from anyone who does WW.
