Guest guest Posted July 17, 1999 Report Share Posted July 17, 1999 I have not tried it on Salad yet. Hmm, brings up a good thought for lunch. A good salad with Salsa on it.

It has only 1 gram carbs per serving. Cauliflower and broccoli are especially low-carb - and celery is only 4.4 grams carbs per cup (less 2 grams fiber). I too like salsa on many things. Chick peas (garbanzos) are sort of high-carb, but also high in fiber. I like to mix them with salsa, which has only 1-2 grams carbs per serving.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 1999 Report Share Posted July 17, 1999 Hmm and I make my own Guac. Will have to be more inventive here. Thanks Susie!

But we've looked hard at margarine and butter, and probably butter is no worse for us than margarine - especially if you clarify it (heat it and use everything but the solids that settle to the bottom). What the heck ... a good excuse to buy one of those cool-looking butter separating pitchers!

Guest guest Posted July 17, 1999 Report Share Posted July 17, 1999 I use PAM all the time when I need something like that. I still buy butter for special times but when I do eggs or meat or brownies I always use PAM. -- Lee Holbert '85 Deep in the Pineywoods of North East Texas ICQ# 39883849 Nick Oldag85 " Amazing Grace!

Guest guest Posted July 18, 1999 Report Share Posted July 18, 1999 Thank you Susie, Yes we do have avocados here, in fact although I live in South Australia they grow quite successfully here......and so do olives, which are becomming the latest alternative crop here.....You have made me quite hungry with your bonza recipes and URLs. Thank you for going to so much trouble.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 1999 Report Share Posted July 18, 1999 Susie, you are a wonder!!! How do you find the time to do all this research?
