I want to thank you for sharing your recipes, they are amazing! I enjoy reading your thread tremendously, you are so creative. Curious question: is your weight updated as it shows below your picture? The reason I am asking is that in your picture, you look nothing like someone who weighs over 300 pounds, you really look amazing! |

Wowee, these recipes look wonderful! I think I'm going to splurge on a magic bullet to make the mayo, plus I could use it for the purees listed in another thread. I LOVE crab cakes, and all the other recipes look awesome, the photos are great! Thanks for taking the time to share with us!

rainbowsmiles,
Have you tried making "rice crispy treats" out of the crispy cereal? I was just wondering because I tried one of the vanilla "bars" today that was just like rice crispy treats, but it is restricted. I was thinking there should be a way to make a similar treat out of the crispy cereal so it wouldn't be restricted. Thanks! |
love your posts rainbow! thanks for all!

Deep-Dish Rutabaga Fennel Gratin
OOOoooooo Myyyyyyy GOODNESS....i am in veggie heaven!!!!!!!!!! Deep-Dish Rutabaga Fennel Gratin http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8284/7...521d0cbcdc.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8295/7...9c0cb5b281.jpg so in keeping with my try something new each week.... this week i very very reluctantly purchased a big ole fat fennel!!! Let me first say, i DO NOT LIKE LICORICE!! and I LOVE GIADA!!! i love watching Giada on the cooking show and she LOVES fennel...she says it tastes like licorice... and guess what...she is RIGHT!!!!! i washed and sliced my lovely fennel...and tasted a nibble....ewww....licorice....black licorice!! well....maybe it tastes different once cooked??? so off i went to google a recipe...hmmm i have fennel.... some rutabaga....some leeks...what can i find to make??? My inspiration was this... http://www.recipe.com/deep-dish-rutabaga-fennel-gratin/ Here is my recipe: 1/2 Leek sliced 4 Green onions 1/2 Large Rutabaga peeled and thinly sliced 1/2 Large Fennel sliced 2/3 cups veggie shreds (i used 1/3 cheddar and 1/3 mozzarella flavor) 1 packet IP Potato Puree 1 Packet IP Crispy Cereal (dry milk only) ICBINB spray 1/2 cup chicken broth (i used college inn fat free broth) 1 tbsp vegan soy parmesan cheese pam olive oil spray glass baking dish http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8299/7...27f598e37e.jpg i started with these 2 packets... http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7262/7...1d6a00097a.jpg first...separate the crispies in the IP crispy cereal packet from the powdered milk and save the crispies for another use) http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7126/7...aab8968827.jpg mix the IP potato puree in a small bowl with some salt, pepper, 1/3 cup mozzarella veggie shreds, 1/3 cup of veggie shreds cheddar flavor http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7263/7...6f55fbe462.jpg most coaches DO ALLOW veggie shreds as a portion of your protein...but check with your own coach first. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8427/7...d3f5e6c57c.jpg wash, peel, slice veggies http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8439/7...7b2c6092b4.jpg spray your baking dish with non-stick spray and preheat over to 350. next layer your veggies!! layer the bottom with the rutabaga slices. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8426/7...4efdb43647.jpg Next add your fennel, green onions and leeks http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7125/7...f34de84d5a.jpg then top with 1/2 your potato puree and veggie shreds dry mixture http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8306/7...e940b6b3e4.jpg repeat layers http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7111/7...d364aefe59.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7116/7...4a831e6381.jpg then finish off the top with the rest of the potato puree and veggie shreds mixture and spread it out all evenly. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8288/7...30d5e85aa4.jpg next, mix 1/2 cup water with the dried milk from the crispy cereal mix and pour 1/2 cup chicken broth then pour these 2 liquids evenly over the entire gratin. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7122/7...e6c51c1b3c.jpg next, give the entire top a spray of ICBINB spray, add some salt and pepper, and 1 tbsp vegan soy parmesan cheese. bake for 1 hour on 350 degrees!!! http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8291/7...461ddc6236.jpg i served mine with sliced ham....i had thought about adding it into the gratin...but was still unsure about the fennel!! so i didn't...but next time i think i will saute some ham chunks and mix them in all together for a ham gratin!!! this made 2 servings...2 large servings!!! let me tell you....it was phenomenal!!! you could not even taste a licorice taste at all!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dance: :dance: :dance: HAPPY DANCE!!!! |
