Hi,

We have tried these and really like them.

Stevia-Sweet Chocolate Chip Cookies

1/2 cup butter
1/4 tsp Stevia Extract powder (used 1/2 tsp)
1 tablespoon sucanat or honey (optional-I did not use)
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup unbleached wheat flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour (I used 1 cup of stone ground whole wheat instead of the 2 different kinds)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup rolled oats
1/4 chopped nuts
1/2 cup chocolate chips or carob chips (I used regular semi-sweet chips)

Combine first 4 ingredients including softened butter. Mix together. Gradually add the following ingredients in order. Divide into cookies and bake 10 min. @ 375 degrees. The texture will be different from conventional cookies, but eaten warm are quiet delicious.

We scooped them just like regualr cookies and they didn't flatten out as they baked so the 2nd pan I flattened a little. I like them cold just as well as warm. The recipe made about 2 dozen.

Enjoy!

Another Goldbeck recipe...

WALNUT-PEACH PIE

An open face peach pie made with sweet fruit.

1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (recipe below)
4 cups peeled, sliced peaches
2 eggs
1/3 cup agave nectar (recipe calls for honey)
2 Tbl. butter
1/2 cup coarsley chopped walnuts
1/4 tsp. cinnamon

Preheat over to 400F

Line pie pan with crust, prick all over with a fork, and bake for 10 minutes. Cool slightly while oven heat is reduced to 325F

Fill shell with peaches. Beat eggs with agave (honey) and pour over fruit. Dot with butter, cober with nuts, and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until filling is set. Cool before cutting.

TENDER PIE CRUST

An excellent crust for fruit tarts or to hold a creamed vegetable filling.

1 1/2 cups WW flour
pinch of salt
1/4 cup oil
2 tbl butter
2 tbl yogurt
1 tlb honey (or agave nectar)
3 tbl cold water (only if needed)

Combine flour and salt ina bowl. Cut in oil and butter until mixture resembles a coarse meal. Add yogurt, honey (or agave}, and water, if needed to form into a ball.

If possible, cill for about an hour before rolling or freeze for 10 minutes to make rolling easier.

Makes 2 8-inch shells or a deep double-crusted pie, or a pie with a lattice top or 12-14 tarts. Crust is not recommended for freezer storage.

Our local paper reprinted this recipe from Family Circle -- takes about 30 minutes and uses only one pot.

Scallop OnePot.

4 slices bacon, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 1/2 pounds scallops
1 bunch scallions, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup peas (orig. recipe used corn)
1 tomato, seeded and chopped
1/2 tsp seafood boil seasoning (I used Mrs Dash instead)
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp thyme
pinch cayenne pepper
2 cups instant brown rice (I used already cooked brown rice and cut it in half)

Cook bacon and garlic over medium heat for 6 minutes. Add scallops and scallions, saute 3 minutes. Add chicken broth, peas, tomato, seasonings; cook 3 minutes. Add rice, cover and simmer 8-10 minutes or until rice is tender. Serve at once. Makes 6 servings.

Protein: 3G Fat: 32.1G Carbs: 4.8G

Steam cauliflower florets until tender but not soft. Set aside to cool.
Put the scallions, celery, bell pepper, and parsley in a large salad bowl. Add salt and pepper.
Make the dressing: mix the mustard, vinegar, and mayonnaise in a small bowl until smooth.
When the cauliflower is cool, chop and add it to the vegetables and mix with enough dressing to just coat the vegetables. Stir in the eggs and celery seeds and mix well. Sprinkle paprika on top and cover with plastic wrap. Let sit in refrigerator for at least 2 hours for flavors to develop.

Chrissie, how do you cut a onion to make the blooming onion recipe? Thanks

I would like to make natchos grande like they have at Taco Bell using Triscuts instead of tortilla chips, but I do not know if the jalapeno peppers that they use are them are at the grocery store, and if so, what is the brand name. Thanks

Now that SPLENDA is readily available in most places, thought I would get this recipe on the board that uses it. Please let me know if anyone makes them!

I found these 2 recipes on another board, haven't tried them though, sounds pretty good, though I'd switch the pork rings to crumbeled SB legal bacon on the first one!


Baked Spinach and Ricotta
Serves 4 to 6

Ingredients:
3 cups (about 1 1/2 pounds fresh) chopped Spinach
Salt
4 Eggs (separated)
1 pint Ricotta Cheese
1/2 shredded Cheese (suggest Provolone)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
Black Pepper
Nutmeg
Butter
Crumbs (crumbled pork rind) to cover casserole

Clean and trim the spinach leaves, and chop fine.

Sprinkle about a teaspoon of salt over the chopped spinach, and let it stand for a while. (But before you add it to the recipe, be sure to press out as much of the moisture as possible.)

Butter a 2-quart casserole dish, and sprinkle enough bread crumbs in it to cover the bottom.

Preheat the oven to 350-F degrees.

Separate the eggs; beat the yolks with the three cheeses, then add pepper and nutmeg to taste. Drain the spinach and stir it in.

Beat the egg whites until they're stiff. Fold them into the spinach-and-cheese mixture.

Turn all into the prepared casserole dish, and bake for 30 to 45 minutes.

*********************************************

Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 8x8x2-inch glass baking dish. Beat eggs, salt and pepper to blend in large bowl. Mix in spinach. Add remaining ingredients and stir until well blended. Transfer mixture to prepared dish.

Bake casserole until center is firm and top is golden, about 45 minutes.

Bon Apetit!

This is a little dish my aunt makes and it is really good I think it is sugar buster legal also....

Taco dish
1 pound of lean ground beef
1 16 oz. jar of salsa
shredded lettuce
shredded cheese
black olives (sliced)
1 can fat free refried beans (optional)
cook the beef to a golden brown, drain any grease, and place in the bottom of a casserole dish, next place salsa on the top of it, then add lettuce and cheese and olives if desired and enjoy!! I just love it and you could use chicken as the meat also if you like, she also puts refried beans on hers after the meat, but it is all up to how you like to eat it! :) You can also add sour cream to the top for a little extra boost!

Chrissie, how do you cut a onion to make the blooming onion recipe? Thanks

With a sharp knife cut down but not through the onion, keep turning and cutting but not going through so that the onion opens like a flower. The pieces should be less than a quarter inch wide.

ITALIAN BEAN AND FETA SALAD
3 large tomatoes chopped
1 cup crumbled FETA (I used the flavored kind)
16 -20 pitted black olives,sliced
1 heaping tbs minced garlic
pimentoes to your taste ( I put 2-3 heaping tbs)
1/4 cup olives oil
2 tbs vinegar of choice. Recipe calls for red wine, but I use cider
1 regular sized can of white beans rinsed and drained.
Combine together and put into the fridge for
two hours before serving. (It's better the second day)
