  • Quote: Hmmmm, strange mix of flavors. Let me know how it turns out!
    I forgot to add that I made it tonight and it is DELICIOUS Pat, even with that strange mix of flavours, specially when it has simmered and thickened... I can't wait to taste it tomorrow when the flavours have melded... YUMMY! Hubby really liked it too...
  • That sounds good! I think I'll try it. THanks, Ilene!
  • Funny, I must have subconciously thought about this recipe tonight, as I came home and - made chili! We're having soup dinners at church on Wed nights for advent. Perhaps I'll try this one when it's my turn. Thanks for review, Ilene!

    ¼ cup Splenda brown sugar substitute
    1 ¼ cups whole wheat flour
    1 tbsp baking powder
    3.5 scoops WHEY vanilla protein powder

    PREPARATION

    Mix together and let rest 5 minutes cereal and milk.
    Add pumpkin, egg, pumpkin spice, and brown sugar.
    Mix together flour, baking powder, and protein powder and add to the pumpkin / cereal mixture.
    Spray 12 regular-sized muffin tins with nonstick spray.

  • Ooooh, Mel, I can't wait to try those Peanut Butter Puffs! What did you think of them?
  • Aside from the fact that they have no actual food in them other than the peanut butter and egg whites, NOT BAD! The Brownies are waaay too sweet for me- I'd cut the spenda down to 2/3 of a cup.
  • Um, isn't oatmeal real food? They do sound yummy though.
  • Hey, on those yummy chicken breasts from Mrs. Jim that are "packaged & wrapped" in the foil in the broiler tray, has anyone tried those new Reynolds Wrap grilling bags that are for grilling? I'm wondering if you could put a bunch in those and get the same juicy result?
