Great recipes

[karenfromtexas]

Hi everyone,

I just had to post a recipe that I tried tonight that my DH and I really liked a lot. It was very filling, too:

Carolina BBQ Meatballs and Slaw

For the meatballs:

1 lb very lean ground pork
1tsp Splenda
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp celery salt
1 pack IP BBQ chips (crushed fine)
1 egg white

Combine all ingredients and form into about 16 meatballs. Cook in a little oil of choice for about 10 minutes or until done.

For the sauce:

1/4 cup yellow mustard
2 tsp Frank's hot sauce
1 tbsp dried onion flakes
3 tbsp Splenda
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp sugar free/low sugar ketchup
salt & pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer for about 8-10 minutes.

For the slaw:

1/2 large cabbage (I like to use both purple and green), shredded
1 bell pepper (choice of color), shredded
4 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp mild oil of choice (I used sunflower)
1/2 tsp celery salt
1/2 tsp mustard powder
2 tsp Splenda (more if you like it sweet)

Shred vegetables. Combine dressing ingredients in a microwave-safe container and nuke for a minute, or until the dressing is hot and well-combined. Pour dressing over vegetables and toss well.

Enjoy!

Hi everyone,

I was craving fideo that my Mom used to make when I was growing up. It's basically Mexican-style pasta. So, I made it and it came out really good, if I do say so myself. I don't know why I didn't think of doing this before! Anyway, here's the recipe:

Fideo

1 package IP rotini
1 tsp olive oil
½ small can of Rotel tomatoes (or plan tomato sauce, if you prefer)
1 clove garlic, crushed
¼ onion, diced
2 tbsp parsley, minced

Lightly brown rotini in the oil. (This will only take a few minutes.) Add the garlic and onion and sauté for a few minutes more. Add the rest of the ingredients. Cover and simmer about 15 minutes or until rotini are soft. (They will absorb the liquid from the Rotel as they cook.)

Makes 1 serving.

Enjoy!

MY FAVORITE recipe so far on IP

It took me a while to find this but this is by far my favorite IP recipe. It was from one of the IP videos. It is so easy to make and you can try all combos. I even bought the Whoopie Pan at BBB ($6.99) plus use your 20% off coupon and it is on clearance and it really makes a great unrestricted item. I made some yesterday and add some WF products IE strawberry, peanut butter, pancake syrups. So yummy. I have also tried it with the vanilla packet in a regular muffin tin also excellent. I do not have the Torani Syrups

"Double Chocolate" Cookies Recipe

By "Coach Mindy"

You are probably thinking, there is no such thing as an Ideal Protein cereal drink product. You are right; however, when you combine two products--Crispy Cereal and Chocolate Drink Mix, you can make fabulous, easy, filling non-restricted cookies.

I am going to give you the "basic recipe". You can change it based on your preferences. Try it with different syrups or extracts. Share the recipe. Pass it around. We can learn so much from each other!

Ingredients:

1 Packet of Ideal Protein Crispy Cereal (crushed)
1 Packet of Ideal Protein Chocolate Drink Mix (Do not use Chocolate Pudding or the Chocolate Pre--Made. This recipe is for the Chocolate Drink Mix. You can make this recipe with the Vanilla Drink Mix, and the Cappuccino Drink Mix also. Remember, not pre-mades and not puddings for this recipe.)
2 Egg whites
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon of baking powder
2 teaspoons of olive oil
1-2 teaspoons Torani Sugar Free Chocolate Macadamia Nut Syrup (made with Splenda). If you do not have this, use an extract you like with an optional packet of Splenda. Also, there are many other Torani Sugar Free Syrups that would be delicious in this recipe--the choice is yours!

Directions:

This is so simple. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Wait a few minutes for the baking powder to make batter thicker.

Equally divide in 12 portions. I use a Wilton Whoopie Pie Pan, sprayed with Pam, which I purchased at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Bake in a preheated 350 oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from pan to cool and enjoy 6 cookies which equals one product. If you do not have this pan, bake in a cake pan. Bake approximately 15 minutes. 1/2 the cake equals one product.

How do you count it?

6 cookies = 1 unrestricted packet

[Sheriously]

I don't have exact measurements, but I don't really think it matters...do what you like!

I pureed roasted zucchini and roasted red pepper and roasted garlic with some basil and pepper and IP salt....was GREAT on top of IP rotini! It would be great with some mushrooms too!

[karenfromtexas]

I have to give a shout out to whomever posted the chocolate "whoopie pie"/cookie recipe (the one using the IP chocolate drink and the IP crispy cereal packet). It was absolutely delicious! I added 2 tsp. of Torani SF Belgian Cookie syrup and I think that made a big difference.

I am not sure if I was the original but I did post it at some point I think. It is one of the best recipes I have done. I actually think it tastes better with the vanilla drink. I have not used any Torani in mine but have done almond, vanilla, or other extracts in them with a packet of stevia. I have also tried the cappuccino too and it was great.

It also tastes real good with cinnamon and nutmeg. It is so easy to make.

I just tried the cauliflower bread sticks so yummy couldn't believe it tasted that good.

Hi everyone,

I was craving chicken enchiladas with green sauce so I came up with this recipe to satisfy that craving:

Green Chili Chicken Stew

6 tomatillos, husked and quartered
2 poblano* peppers, seeded and cut into 2” pieces
4 Hatch* chile peppers, seeded and cut into 2” pieces
4 tsp olive oil, divided
Salt and pepper to taste
½ onion, chopped
3-4 zucchini or Mexican grey squashes, chopped
1 jicama, chopped
3-4 garlic cloves, crushed
8 c chicken broth
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
2-3 cups leftover cooked chicken
Juice of 1 lime

Spread tomatillos and all peppers on 2 cookie sheets so that they are in one layer. Drizzle the vegetables with 3 tsp olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss. Roast at 400 for about 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting. Cool slightly. Puree in a blender with a little of the chicken broth to desired smoothness. Set aside. Heat remaining 1 tsp olive oil in a large stock pot. Saute onion and garlic until onion is translucent. Add squash, jicama, chicken broth, cilantro, and pureed tomatillos and peppers. Bring to boil. Cover pot and simmer until squash is tender. (Jicama will remain firm, even if cooked a long time.) Add chicken and simmer for a few minutes more. Add lime juice.

*Substitute any mild, green chile peppers you like. If you want the stew hotter, leave some or all of the seeds in. Coat your hands with vegetable oil before handling chiles to prevent skin irritation.

I added 1 tbsp of reduced fat sour cream to my bowl of soup and that really seemed to add a lot to the flavor.

Enjoy!

Yes be very careful I apparently did and mine went right into the trash, discusting I'll try again though love the thickness.

Did everyone get the unrestricted brownie recipe using chocolate drink and pudding mix? It's good?

Is the recipe in this thread?

[LUCCILOVE]

kcdoe-yes I posted the double cookie recipe it is post #156 it was very good. It makes 2 unrestricted servings. I will make more and use my new torani syrups. I have also done witht he vanilla and cappucino packets I think vanilla is the best

I did try the chocolate pudding/drink packet. I first followed exactly what it says but it was so dry - not think I had at least 1-2 cups of water. When I cooked it was more like a fudge or a cake then a brownie but it was still excellent - it is nice for breakfast or dessert if u need an unrestricted. It is pretty rich. Let me know how it goes!!!

[LUCCILOVE]

You can adapt it however you want. My husband and I really like this. He is not on IP

This is from my neighbor who is "sort of" on IP. She used chicken thigh

1 8 oz skinless chicken breast (bone in would work as well)
1-2 cloves of garlic finely minced
3 tbsp Dijon mustard (there are some with no white wine in it)
1 tbsp WF mayo or Trader Joe's Reduce Fat mayo (my clinic lets me use it)

Juice of 1 lime or lemon
Zest of 1 lime or lemon
Cracked pepper to taste.

Mixed together until blended. Pour over chicken and toss until coated. Put on baking tray and sprinkle with dried parsley. Bake at 400 for 30-35 min. - might take a little longer depending on your oven.

I added cumin, white pepper, and topped the chicken with paprika so there is some browning. The mustard does have a kick but it is really good. Next time I am going to add mushrooms in it. It is like a Dijonnaise Chicken
