I will also post in the recipe section, but since Thanksgiving is so close I thought I'd start a separate thread, just for the holidays.

I was experimenting and made this awesome pumpkin pie souffle last night! It was SO good, and took away my cravings. I use eggbeaters because they are nutritionally fortified, and I don't like the dried scrambled eggs. You can get Pumpkin Pie Spice at your big chain market in the spice section, and if you don't have SF Pumpkin Pie syrup, you can use Caramel or improvise. You can also use a mixer, I just find my blender to be more user friendly.


Pumpkin Pie Souffle
(4 servings)

2 C Eggbeaters
2 Vanilla Shakes
2 t Pumpkin Pie Spice
4 T Sugar Free Pumpkin Pie Syrup
Cool-Whip Free

Put eggbeaters into a blender and mix at the lowest setting, adding vanilla shakes and pumpkin pie spice once it's in motion. Let it froth up until it about doubles in size. Pour into 4 ramekins and microwave for 3-5 minutes. Start at 3 minutes and then check to see how your microwave does. When it looks mostly cooked, stop the microwave. It will continue to cook on its own. The less you cook it, the lighter and fluffier it will be, if it gets overcooked, it will get rubbery.

Drizzle one tablespoon of SF syrup over each ramekin before serving. Top it off with a dollop of Cool-Whip Free.

Yummy! This is good enough to serve to non-MFers.


Chocolate Souffle
(2 servings)

1 C Eggbeaters
1 Cocoa Packet
2 T SF Chocolate Syrup (I used Hershey's)

Following the above instructions, blend it all together in a blender then microwave in 2 ramekins.


P.S. I forgot to add that these will puff way up when they are cooking. They will come out of the ramekin an inch or two, and then shrink back down after cooking. You may want to keep a microwave safe plate under them. Also, these may be served warm or cold, but be careful when they first come out they will be HOT!

As I have discussed in another thread, my husband and I will be taking Thanksgiving off from Medifast, but will be trying to be reasonable about it. To that end, I have been developing recipes. Some of the recipes will be for Thanksgiving only, and some of them will fit into the Medifast 5 and 1 guidelines. I will continue to post as I find time. Please post your own ideas and feedback.


Devilled Eggs

2 Hard Boiled Eggs
1/4 C 2% Cottage Cheese
1/2 t Prepared Yellow Mustard (I like French's)
To taste:
Garlic Salt
Onion Powder
Dill
Pepper

Chop the eggs and mix together with cottage cheese and mustard. Add spices to your liking.



Veggie Dip

1 Package of Cream Broccoli Soup
1/2 C Sour Cream
1/2 C Milk
1/4 t Garlic Salt
1/4 t Onion Powder
1/4 t Dill
1/4 t Oregano
1/4 t Basil
1/4 t Pepper

Mix all together until smooth and refrigerate. This is better if you give it time to blend flavors.
