Ingredients:

• 4 pounds snow crab clusters (legs)
• 4 quarts water (16 cups)
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 1/2 stalks celery, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, quartered
• 2 small turnips, peeled, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh chopped Italian parsley
• 2 teaspoons mustard seed
• 1 tablespoon chopped pimento
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground pepper
• 2 bay leaves
• 1/3 cup sugar-free tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoons half and half
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 teaspoon thyme
• 1/8 teaspoon basil
• 1/8 teaspoon marjoram

Preparation Method:

1 Remove all the crab meat from the shells and set it aside.
2 Put half of the shells into a large pot with 4 quarts of water over high heat. Add onion, 1 stalk of chopped celery, and garlic; then bring mixture to a boil. Continue to boil for 1 hour, stirring occasionally (The white part of the shells will start to become transparent), then strain stock. Discard the shells, onion, celery and garlic, keeping only the stock.
3 Measure 3 quarts (12 cups) of the stock into a large sauce pan or cooking pot. If you don't have enough stock, add enough water to make 3 quarts.
4 Add turnips, bring mixture to a boil, then add 1/2 of the crab and the remaining ingredients to the pot and bring it back to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer for 4 hours, uncovered until it reduces by about half and starts to thicken. Add the remaining crab and simmer for another hour until the soup is very thick.

Ingredients:
------------

• 1 tblsp Oil
• 2 lb Chicken breasts boneless - or Pork Shoulder Roast
• 2 Onions
• 2 tsp Minced garlic
• 1 tsp Oregano
• 1 tsp Cumin powder
• 2 tsp Ground red chili
• 1 tblsp Red chili flakes
• 1 Tomato
• 1 can Tomatillos
• 4 lb Green chilis
• 4 cup Wyler's chicken boullion
• 3 tblsp Cornstarch

Instructions:
-------------
Preferably use fresh roasted, peeled, and seeded New Mexican green
chilis. Since these are not available in most parts of the country
outside the Southwest, dried, frozen, or canned chilis may be
substituted, in that order of desirability. Dried chilis are the next
best thing to fresh. Frozen new mexican chilis under the brand name
"Bueno" are available in some parts of the country and are good quality.
Canned chilis are the least desirable but can be used if you are
desperate.

Cut chicken breasts into 1/2" cubes. Slice onions lengthwise. Chop
chilis, tomato and tomatillos. Add oil to heavy, preferably cast iron,
skillet and brown chicken over high heat. It is best to do it in two or
three small batches. Remove to large saucepan. Add onions and garlic
to leftover oil and brown until onions are soft. Add oregano, cumin,
and red chili, and cook for two or three minutes. Transfer from skillet
to saucepan with chicken. Add tomato, tomatillos, chilis, and chicken
broth. Bring to a boil and simmer for 3 - 4 hours. Add water as
necessary to maintain the desired consistency. Add 3 - 4 tablespoon
cornstarch mixed with water prior to serving to thicken as desired.

This is a delicious favorite I discovered quite by accident as I sat staring at my “boring” vanilla protein powder and wanting something sweet. This mimics peanut brittle only in taste. It won’t send your blood sugar soaring and it’s a fun way to get in some
healthy unsaturated fat.
Ingredients:
• 2 scoops vanilla protein
• 1 tbsp sugar-free instant butterscotch pudding mix, dry
• 1 tbsp natural peanut butter, chunky
• 8 oz. cold water or lowfat milk.
• 3-6 ice cubes

Directions:
Add all ingredients to blender, blend, and serve. I like to add the peanut butter in last so it stays a little chunky, just like the peanut brittle it is replacing.
