Guest guest Posted August 22, 2001 Report Share Posted August 22, 2001 Sorry, forgot to add: The sad truth is that there just is not many things we can buy at the regular grocery store. 99% of my son's food (not including meat) comes from the HFS. There's alot available by mailorder, but I'm just not much on mail order because I like to use cash to shop, and when I want something, I want it now. You can buy rice cakes at the grocery store, but they can be cross-contaminated. ===== __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had wheat thins at work and wouldn't walk by the desk that had them. I can only eat such things by the box full. One of the rules we had for detoxed drug addicts was that you can never again hand out with your old friends. Well, wheat thins, graham crackers, chips pretzels are my old friends and the can never visit my home.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2003 Report Share Posted July 5, 2003 , The mini-meals/snacks sound fine except for those ugly graham crackers. I have a cracker thing too. I have just stopped buying as many. The thing that I had to chuckle at was the ground beef. I can't do ground beef on any regular basis and finally decided to give it up. I know use ground turkey for things like meatloaf. The texture is a little easier to digest. Jennie-O and Louis Rich both make ground turkey and they are both good.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2003 Report Share Posted July 5, 2003 I actually have a recipe for carmel popcorn that is made with a liquid SugarLike (I get the Sugar from www.vitalady.com). It's great for those PMS days!!! It's crunchy, sweet, and actually better for us than using real sugar. Tina Snacks There, I said it, that nasty " S " word... I know I'm a newbie Grad and probably pushing it I would like some feedback on what ya'll eat for snacks/mini-meals. I will share with you some of the things I do. Bear in mind though that I do eat some dairy, I just don't drink milk or add it to my protein shakes. Some snacks I do eat: Blue Bunny Lite 85 yogurt, cheese, nuts (almonds mostly), cottage cheese, apples (sometimes with p'nut butter), Quaker Quakes Caramel Corn (this is my PMS crunchy craving food). The big one I've become addicted to is graham crackers. When I am really bad I have Philly Cheesecake flavor cream cheese on it. Gotta keep that stuff outta the house! Help me! I'm so weak sometimes! Those graham crackers call my name, I swear! For mealtime when I fix food for my non-WLS DH, I have chicken, steak or pork chops, or roast of some type, a spoon of taters, a couple spoons of veggies (peas or green beans usually, occasional carrots). I don't eat bread, pasta or rice....fills me too fast and makes the pouch grouchy. Just kinda lays there like a lumpy ball of dough, ya' know. I also can't do ground beef, except in 's chili. Doesn't matter that I use ground round in meatloaf either, still can't do it. The protein bar I've been having is Balance Gold, seems to be the only one I can actually consume regularly...and I've tried a lot of 'em. Detour bars were tasty but gave me a belly ache. Think the nuts early on didn't agree with me. Perhaps I should try them again. OK, thanks for letting me ramble on about the munchies. Have a great day!

You know that once you mention something like that, we gotta have the recipe. And I have a bottle of the liquid SugarLike sitting on my shelf all lonely like, so it would love to snuggle up to a little popcorn.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2003 Report Share Posted July 6, 2003 O.K. everyone...here's the famous Oven Carmel Corn. I, unfortunately cannot take credit for creating this, but have made it many time when I get the munchies. Signed, Elf w/blue sparkly jellybean toes!!! (AKA - Tina) 3 qts. Popped Popcorn (I use airpopped popcorn) 1 cup Brown Sugar Replacement (Sugarlike, Etc.) 1/2 cup Margarine 1/4 cup Corn Syrup Replacement (Liquid Sugarlike, Etc.) 1/2 tsp. Salt (optional) 1/2 tsp. baking Soda Heat oven to 200 degrees, divide popcorn into 2 pans In sauce pan heat sugar, butter, corn syrup, and salt. Stirring constantly, boil 5 min. Remove from heat at 234 degrees, add soda and stir until foamy. Pour over popcorn, mix until well coated. Bake 1 hour stirring every 15 minutes. Spread over wax paper to allow to dry without becoming a giant popcorn ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
