I just bought some WF dressing and wow! Love it! I was wondering, since it is o cals and o carbs does this mean I can have as much as I want? I can dip my celery in it and cover my salad in it? Also what does the PB2 count as? A condiment? And how much are you allowed to have? ANd is there ANY type of pasta we are allowed to have? Is there anything like a veggie pasta we can have? I am so new to this and finding healthy things I don't know about any of it. Thank you for everyone's help who doesn't laugh at my questions and takes the time to lead me through my journey!!!!

I don't know about the WF dressing or the PB2...I actually plead total ignorance and ask what are they?

We can have shirataki noodles. They are made out of a japanese yam and soy tofu and count as a veggie. I'm not sure how they taste, but I bought some from Whole Foods yesterday and plan on having them on Monday as a kind of fettuccine marinara type dish with two low fat meatballs. I'll let you know what I think of them.

No question is ever laughed at here! (Unless it's meant to be funny!) So, feel free to ask away!

PB2 Is a peanut butter powder you can buy from Bell Plantation on line and it is 75% less fat than regular peanut butter. WF dressing stands for Walden Farms salad dressing which is O cals, and 0 Carbs, Sugar Free. You can google the PB2 and buy it off line.

TravelMom - You can always make "pasta" with thin shavings of zucchini, sliced into long noodles. Those are always good!

So, I tried the shiritaki noodles tonight for my lean & green and they aren't too bad. I made a tomato sauce from canned chopped tomatoes and Italian seasoning, cooked up some lean ground beef into meatballs and served it all over the shiritaki with a sprinkle of parmasan.

The noodles are definitely more chewy than normal pasta and don't have as much flavor, but they are probably the next best thing to wheat pasta. I read that you get a better flavor and texture from rinsing then boiling them, so I tried that. I think I might add a dash of salt to the boiling water next time, that might help.
