1/2 c Whole Wheat Flour
1/3 c Bran
2 ts Baking Powder
1 tb Sugar
1 Egg
1/4 c Natural Peanut Butter (NSA)
1/2 c Lowfat Milk
1/3 c Peanuts, chopped (plain, dry roasted)
Combine the flour, bran, baking powder and sugar in a
bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and blend.
Spoon into oiled muffin tins or paper muffin cups.
Bake in a 375-degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
Makes 8
MY NOTES: I used 1TBL of AGAVE NECTAR in place of the TBL of sugar. You CAN use either one since using SUGAR will give you about 2 grams of sugar per serving, which makes it fall under the 3grams or less per serving rule. I used SKIM MILK instead of LF, and in using this, used the extra calcium milk to help boost the calcium of the muffins. I made my own PB and I used OAT BRAN. Since I used AGAVE, I lowered the temp of the oven to 350 degrees and baked them for 15 minutes, which was more than enough. I used paper liners, if you don't let them cool completely, they will stick to the paper a bit. This is NOT a sweet muffin, (though sweet enough for me), if you want it sweeter, try adding a bit more sweetener to it, if so desired.
My calculations came out to be that each muffins is approx 145 calories, 8 grams of fat, 15 carbs, 6 1/2 protein, 2 fiber. I tend to usually do these calculations a bit on the high side.
They were extremely EASY to make, clean up's a breeze and best of all, they were delicious! If I can make them, you know, anyone can!!!
HOPE YOU ENJOY THEM!!!

MEXICAN CHICKEN
Preheat oven to 450'
6 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
2 Cans Seasoned Black Beans
1 1/2 c. Medium Chunksy Salsa
1 c. + Cheddar Cheese more or less according to cheese taste.
Spray a roasting pan w/ Pam or olive oil. Arrange breasts in pan. top w/ Salsa, then beans. Cover pan w/ aluminum foil. Bake 18 minutes or until done. Remove from oven. Remove foil and sprinkle cheese on top, lightly lay foil over top and let sit a few minutes for cheese to melt. Serve over brown rice.
If desired you can put each breast on a square of aluminum foil, put on salsa and beans. Seal each foil packet and place on grill for 11 to 13 minutes. Add cheese in same manner.
This is so good and soooooooooo easy!

BLUEBERRY BUCKLE
This is delicious!
1/4 cup butter
1/4 agave nectar
1 egg
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup buttermilk or yogurt
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
TOPPING
1/4 cup butter
2 Tablespoons agave
1/3 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter and 8-inch square baking dish.
In a medium-sized bowl cream together butter & agave, and egg & mix. Add flour, baking soda, and buttermilk or yogurt. Mix well. Spread in a prepared baking dish and cover with blueberries.
To make the topping: In a small bowl combine butter, honey, flour and cinnamon until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Spread over blueberries and bake for about 40 minutes. Cut into squares or serve with a spoon.
NOTES: My topping didn't resembe coarse crumbs as I mixed it with a mixer rather than cut it in. I just distributed it all over the top by pushing bits off the spoon-I think the end result is the same.

Low GI Cheesecake - A tried and true recipe!
This recipe uses a crust made from Special K cereal.
Cheesecake:
1 Special K pie crust
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup Splenda
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat cream cheese until soft and fluffy. Blend in Splenda and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each one until mixture is smooth. Pour into crust and bake for about 50 minutes until set. Allow to cool and refrigerate several hours.
Pie Crust:
3 C Special K cereal
½ tsp cinnamon
2 TBSPs Splenda
4 TBSPs melted butter
Place cereal in a bag a crush the cereal with a rolling pin or potato masher. Turn and shake the bag frequently to make a consistent crumb. Pour crumbs into a medium sized bowl and stir in cinnamon and Splenda. Pour in melted butter and stir with a fork until evenly blended. Press the crumb mixture into the pie dish. It will not stick as well as traditional graham cracker crusts, just keep gently pressing. Rubbing a little butter to the inside of the pie pan will help. It will firm up after baking. Bake 5-7 minutes until set. Cool slightly and fill as desired.
I top mine with a diluted Smucker’s 100% Simply Fruit and smooth it on as a glaze. Then I top it with a berry (raspberry, strawberry, etc.) that goes with the spread and suits my fancy!
Yield: 6 to 8 servings.

CREOLE SHRIMP
2 Green Bell Peppers
2 Onions
2 Stalks Celery
2 Cans Diced Tomatoes (I used 1 regular & 1 Rotel Extra Hot)
Salt and Pepper
Olive Oil
Granulated Garlic (or 3 0r 4 garlic toes minced)
2# Large Raw Shrimp, cleaned.
Coarsely chop the pepper and celery and saute in olive oil in a large kettle. Then add the chopped onion (pepper and celery take longer to cook than onion, thus the headstart). Saute until onion is translucent. Add the tomatoes, stir and simmer covered
for 20 minutes or so. Add the shrimp, stir to mix and let cook until shrimp is pink.
Serve over brown rice.
I used Rotel's Extra Hot Chile Tomatoes. But they have cooler
versions, like tomatoes and jalepenos. Be warned the Extra Hot was hot even with the can of regular tomatoes mixed with it.
If you can't get chili or mexican style canned tomatoes just add some spices like chili powder, cumin etc. Use imagination.
You could make this using just regular tomatoes and no creole seasoning if you like things a little blander
USE YOUR IMAGINATION!!!!!!

I took Betty Crocker receipe and made it SB legal I think.

1/2 c Whole Grain Wheat pastry flour (I used Arrowhead Mills)
1/2 c oatmeal (I used Quaker Oats quick)
3/4 c milk (I used 2%)
1 tbsp Splenda
2 tbsp veg oil
3 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla (my addition)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Margarine, butter or shortning
Beat egg with hand beater in medium bowl until fluffy. Beat in remaining ingredients except margarine until smooth. I spritzed the griddle with "I can't believe it's butter" spray. Pour scant 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle. Turn and cook both sides until golden brown.
Top with your favorite Sb topping. I used Polaner All fruit Strawberry. Enjoy

I've had this in my files forever, don't know where I got it so can't give the credit where it is due.
BARBEQUE SAUCE

1/2 Cup chopped onion
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
1 15 ounce can of tomato sauce
1/3 Cup cider vinegar

1/8 tsp crushed red pepper
1/8 tsp hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco or Frank’s)
1/4 tsp celery seed
1 Tbs. lemon juice
Cook onion and garlic in oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, stir well, and bring to a slow boil. Reduce heat and simmer 25 minutes. Adjust seasonings to taste--this recipe is not overly hot and spicy.

really good!!! Whoever suggested trying zucchini for a pizza crust, I could just hug you! I made this last night and my husband and I loved it. It does not take that long to make. Really tasted like pizza!
Zucchini Pizza - about 30 min prep time, including baking. Bake at 400. 4 servings, unless you're my DH, then 2 servings :-)
crust:
1 large zucchini grated (about 3 cups) drain and really squeeze out extra juice, I got at least 1/4 cup out)
1 egg
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
1/2 cup mozzerella cheese salt and pepper
1/2 can Cantadina pizza sauce toppings: (I used spaghetti sauce)
1 pound pork sausage
1/2 green pepper chopped
1/2 onion chopped
1/2 cup sliced raw mushrooms (or more)
cheddar and mozzerella cheese (at least 1/2 cup each)
pepperoni pizza seasonings in a jar (I used italian seasoning)
Brown sausage. Drain grease, if there is any. Add onion and green pepper, cook until slightly soft.
Add mushrooms to brown them. Add salt, pepper, a little pizza seasonings. (While sausage is browning...)
Mix zucchini, egg, cheeses, salt and pepper. Press into a greased 12" glass pie plate (I spray with Olive Oil). Bake 10 min at 400 degrees. It puffs up.
Spread sauce on top, covering edges too. Sprinkle a little pizza seasoning on sauce.
Add sausage/veggie mixture on top. Add cheeses.
Bake another 10 minutes at 400 or until cheese gets a little brown.
Take out of oven and let it rest 5 minutes to set up cheese.
Carb count from Netzer's book: Zucchini - 12 carbs egg - .6 1/2 can of sauce - 14 carbs 1/2 green pepper - 2.5 carbs 1/2 onion (1/4 cup) - 3.5 carbs 1/2 cup fresh mushrooms - 1.6 carbs 1 cup cheddar cheese - 4 carbs 1 cup mozzerlla cheese - 4 carbs None for the meat.
Whole pie has: about 42.2 I could only eat about 1/4 of it, so that would be 10.6 carbs.

FRENCH ONION SOUP
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup onion sliced (I slice then cut the slices in half) (Vidalia Onions are the best)
2-3 cups beef bouillon (I use granules and add more than the jar calls for)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (I add more sometimes)
1 teaspoon Sherry (optional)
pepper to taste
1 piece toast per serving
1 oz. Cheeze per serving (shredded or sliced very thin)
Slice the onion and saute on medium in the butter until desired tenderness. (I like mine almost soft)
Add the bouillon, Worcestershire sauce and sherry to pan and heat until warm.
In a bowl add a piece of toast and top with the cheese. Then add soup mixture to the bowl (it will melt the cheese).
Enjoy!

WALNUT CAROB COOKIES
1/4 cup + 1TBL carob powder *see note below
1/2 cup WW pastry flour
1/4 cup agave nectar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
approx. 1/2 cup coarsley chopped walnuts (I used 2.5 ounces)
Combine all the ingredients except walnuts in a large bowl and mix well. Then stir in the walnuts. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper, (I guess you could use non-stick cooking spray instead). Drop the cookie mixture by the tablespoonful onto the cookie sheets. Bake at 300 in a preheated oven for 15 minutes. Cool. Makes about 18 cookies-store in a tightly covered container.
*NOTE: If you don't like/have carob, you can use Dutch processed cocoa powder, or try a combination in any amount of carob and cocoa. Also, you can add a bit more walnuts if you so desire, the original recipe I had used 1 1/2 cups, which I thought was just too much, so I reduced the amount.
