Good idea, Patti. I'll go look for some. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone posts. Thanks for starting this.

I remembered this from a long time ago..I used to make them

mushroom caps


take a large amount of mushrooms-clean and take the stems out
place caps on a cookie sheet
take the stems and chop fine
add parmesean cheese to stems amount depends on the amount of mushroom caps.. I use about equal amounts
chop a little onion to stems and cheese
stuff back into mushroom caps
bake till hot and bubbly at 350 degrees

*I cant get fat free cheese here in Canada but do you guys get ff parmesean cheese?
this is a good recipe

[Vickie]

No FF parmesan in Chicagoland. I can get reduced fat Kraft in the round can. I can get soy/veggie cheese in a combo parmesan/romano/mozarella. I think it's called morningstar and it's in the produce aisle in my store. It's fabulous and melts nicely. That what I'd use here. We LOVE mushrooms.

What temperature on the oven?

i fixed Vickie,,,

This is a tried and true recipe.

1 cup of fat free cottage cheese
1 cup fat free mayo
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/3 cup green onion chopped
1 pkg frozen spinach
2 tsp parsley
pumpernickle bread/Italian loaf (count pts for this or use veggies!!)

Blend first 4 ingrediants till smooth. Add spinach then parsley. Put into bread bowl...cover with tin foil. Bake at 300 degrees for 2 hours. Use bread pieces and veggies, baked crackers for dipping.

I like this!!!

Stuffed Celery

these are good to nibble on

celery stalks, cleaned and cut into small logs

Make your favourite tuna mixture

1 can of tuna
ff mayo
green onion
celery
ff cheese slices ,cut up real small
salt and pepper

Stuff the celery logs with the tuna mixture...
you could also use an egg salad mixture or chicken salad for variety

[Lytricia]

If I may add:

I don't know what I call this,.

Dice...
1 1/2 cups of crab meat or imitation crab (4 pts)
2 boiled eggs (4 pts)
1/4 cup green onions
1 red pepper
2 dill pickles
1/4 cup of firm avocado - (2 pts) (optional)

Add...
4 tsp. mayo (4 pts for regular - use fat free to keep the recipe CORE)
1/4 tsp dried dill weed or 1-2 TBSP fresh dill weed
1/4 tsp each salt and pepper (or to taste)

Mix altogether and serve.

For a lunch you can serve this on romaine lettuce spears, or cut an orange pepper in half and fill each half with the mixture. For a party you can serve it with scoopy kinds of vegetables like celery or pepper strips, and if you've been a really good girl you may want to just scoop it onto a cracker.

This recipe makes about 4 cups and the total points for the entire recipe using regular mayo and the avocado is 14

Sandra..the pumpkin pie recipe refers to cookies, but there are no cookies in the list of ingredients...did I miss something??

Rhonda

[ontarget]

Oops! You caught me, Rhonda. The cookies referred to are in the original recipe. I thought I'd deleted everything about them cuz I meant for the pumpkin pie to be used with that core pie crust. I'll go finish deleting.

I got this recipe off the net. I don't remember which site. I tried to find it tonight so I could give credit, but I couldn't locate it.

Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies

1 can of pumpkin
4 eggs
3 cups old fashioned oatmeal
1 big box sf/ff instant vanilla pudding mix (I used 2 small boxes.)
Pumpkin pie spice. (I used less than a teaspoon.)
Granular Splenda I used about 1/2 a cup.

Mix together and bake in pre-heated oven 350* for 20 minutes. The cookies do not spread. I dropped them onto a sprayed cookie sheet by the tablespoon.

They are really teally good. Thank goodness I froze half the dough to bake later.

[Tejas]
