LOL!

ProteinGal - I'm looking for ways to add in some Gelatin (needing some collagen!) and am wondering - do you mix this in with some water and take a 'shot'? How do you prepare it? I got tired of paying $27/box for the Raspberry Jello - I used to really love it with rhubarb, but needed to move on.

Yup, that's exactly how I take it, I mix in 2 tbsp in cold water and gulp it like a shooter has a funny taste at first but you;ll get used to it.

WI #2 is tomorrow - lost 8lbs at WI #1, but have a feeling for some reason my loss won't be too great this week. I've been 100% OP so it's a little frustrating but reading all the posts on here really motivates me!

Lizrr - Did you post this recipe? I made it for lunch today and it was delicious! Also had Oatmeal for breakfast. Not sure about dinner yet.


Baked Veggie Croquette
Ingredients:
IP Potato Puree
1-2 cups of veggies finely chopped. I used mixed bell peppers & jalapeños
3 oz chicken broth
1 egg white
Spices. I used garlic, salt, & pepper

Directions:
Sautée the veggies until tender and cooked through.
While that's going, mix the Potato Puree with 3 oz of heated chicken broth, egg white, and spices.
Once the veggies are cooked, add to the rest of the ingredients.
Spoon ~1 tbsp servings onto prepared baking sheet formed into ~10-12 log shapes and cook at 350 degrees until slightly browned and set, ~18-20 minutes.
I can also see adding some puréed veggies (cauliflower, celeriac, mushrooms, etc)to make it more substantial.
