Pumpkin custard
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.

I'm not a fan of the cauliflower puree although perhaps I'm not seasoning enough. I have done a combination of potato, onion and turnip, which is interesting...but the other great alternative is celery root (also called celeriac). Peel and boil until tender, just like potatoes.

As an alternative to mashed potatoes at holiday dinners - I do roasted sweet potato and parsnip. washed, peeled, cubed, parboiled for 5-7min., roasted with a little olive oil and seasoning in an oven at 375F for about 30-40minutes.

I've tried it and loved it - however, if you're expecting it to taste like potatoes you'll be disappointed - it's yummy though! I put a little 'I Can't Believe it's Not Butter', Mrs. Dash, and garlic in it... MMMmm!

**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 |

Coming Aboard
Well here I am.
I've been lurking here for a while reading about all of your successes and challenges and the great ways you are preparing food so that it's healthy. A few years ago I cut out most carbs and lost over 20 lbs. I think I did this for a bit over a year. After that I gained the weight back, but it was the eating plan that I found the easiest to adapt to. Most of the things I really wanted to keep eating were ok and I could easily get rid of the things I had to avoid. I decided while at the Reunion to do it again. For some reason the motivation came back. So Monday morning I went back to the no/low carb (about 40 gms of carbs a day). I weighed myself Monday morning and will weigh in once a week. As I said, here I am. BB

I am still having cold cereal and coffee for breakfast with a sandwich for lunch and a healthy dinner. The food that was being served at the Reunion, was heavy in carbs and sugars, but damn it, those desserts rocked...
I am so excited for Sylvie and everyone who is loosing weight!!! Have a great day, Zimmeh

58 pounds.... OMG, we are all so freakin' proud of you! And I am so happy to see YOU so proud of yourself! It takes a lot of hard work & dedication to keep going on this journey, and we applaud you! I like your idea of only looking at 10 pound increments. It's totally overwhelming to say, "well, I need to lose 100 pounds". It's easier to self sabatoge yourself and give up! Honey, you keep up the great work! |

There were quite a few people at the Reunion that are on this journey, and their success so far has been motivation for many of us! I'm telling you, seeing everybody was another kick in the butt for me to keep going! We can do this! GOOD LUCK my friend! |
