Found this recipe in the October 2005 of Oxygen magazine

Enjoy :hun:

Hmmmm, strange mix of flavors. Let me know how it turns out! :lol:

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! :lol: 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!

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?

My own creation but there's probably similiar ones out there :)

Orange Creamsicle Protein Shake
8 oz fortified orange juice (110 cals, 2 pro)
2 scoops unflavored or vanilla protein powder (mine is 130 cals, 25 pro)
1 serving vanilla protein powder (25 cals, 0 pro)
Ice
Splenda or sugar to taste (if desired)

Delicious :)

I don't quite understand your recipe you put 2 kinds of proten powders in??

OOPS!

The second one is supposed to be vanilla sf ff pudding.

I read it over and didn't even catch that. Sorry! :o
