How to Make a Diet Pumpkin Pie for the Holidays

1 can of pumpkin puree--Libby's solid pack pumpkin
3 whole eggs or even 4
1 1/2 Tb flour
sweetening equivalent to 1 1/3 cups of sugar
1 tb of maple extract
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt, plus, curry powder, cinnamon and nutmeg-- or pumpkin pie spice a total of 2 tsps.
6 oz. of toasted coconut if wanted

This photograph has a rich, velvety center which is what you will get with this recipe, choose an aluminum or glass pie plate or even a glass cake or loaf pan in an average size so you can pour the filling a little thick. Just like this without the crust.

Line square pan with butter or margarine,
Combine filling ingredients-- add 1/2 package of instant vanilla sugar free pudding 4 serving size instead of vanilla extract or 1/2 package of butterscotch instant sugar free Jello pudding mix instead of the maple extract if desired-- either way mix the filling ingredients, stirring the eggs well, (all but the coconut) and pour into pan with or without coconut 'crust.'

Bake at 350 to 375 degrees for 45 to 55 minutes until a toothpick comes clean when tested.

Refrigerate leftovers this will firm up into a pudding cake kind of treat or freeze in squares like an "Eskimo pie" treat.

Something like image this with a dark pumpkin center but in squares--delicious.

I L♡VE FLAX

Healthy Flax

Don't

forget you can use flax in place of eggs or fat. I had super results with this flax seed product. Just follow the directions on the box. Basically 2 tsp flax milled and 1 tsp water is one egg and 3 TB Flax and  is  1 - 2 Tb fat. This is the ratio I use and it works perfectly.

Spaghetti Squash Lo Mein

Mushroom Tuna Luncheon Salad

In order to make this 'salad' you need a can of mushrooms, boiled eggs, a can of tuna and mayonnaise. This concoction will also ask for seasoned salt and a small amount of sweetening. It is faster and easier than a tuna noodle casserole, it is more slimming since the noodles are omitted and it is cooler to prepare and eat in the summer than the casserole is. It also really tastes like a tuna noodle casserole when you have finished. Yumm.

Here is the finished product:                                                         Somewhat gone.

Yogurt Decadante

Can you see the strawberry hiding under the yogurt? Chocolate fudge cookies on the side are yummy too, recipe is in an earlier blog post. Also use mixed berries if you want to.

Fudge Cookies 

Mix some fruit flavored YOGURT (no bits of fruit please, smooth is better here) and cool whip and top everything with some of the yogurt that isn't mixed with the topping. Voila.

p.s. FREEZE the strawberries first.

Root Beer Float with a Twist

You've got to try this *smashing* Black Cow soda, with Root Beer and Praline|butter Pecan Blue Bunny ICE Cream.


2 small scoops of ice cream
1 dollop of low fat frozen non-dairy topping
Root Beer
Additional vanilla extract and a pinch of Stevia or Splenda.

Glass, a tall thin glass, a maragarita glass, a wine glass, a parfait glass or something like that, even a styrofoam cup, so it stays chilled. Do you have one of those insulated tumblers from WalMart? That's good.

Line up the 1/2 - 1/3 cup of ice cream into two or three scoops, top with one or two spoons of cool-whip and add Root Beer to Cover. Use a tall teaspoon and two or three -- or just one straw -- whatever you think is fun.

Summer ICE!

Try adding 1/2 a pkt. of this to 16-18 oz of diet cola. Amazing. One more way to cool away summer. I think this tastes like watermelon & pineapple with maybe a little mango and it is cold... tasting, I find it unbelievable. One pink measuring spoon of sweet 'n low can be added (part of and individual pack -- it won't take much).

Also, the color is blueberry.;]

Berry Banana Sherbert

This is kind of like a Smoothie, but you don't have to get out the blender or smoothie machine every time.

4-6 cups of seeded watermelon
1-2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries (hulled)optional``substitute more watermelon``
1 cup of whole milk (or at least 2%) This won't taste 'milky--either way.'
1 cup orange juice
3-4 bananas (I always use 4)
sweetener equal to 15 pkgs.
1 TB lemon juice
Mash all together with a potato masher or back of a large spoon
Freeze in ice cube trays or Popsicle molds or used yogurt cups etcetera. Insert a plastic picnic spoon if you don't have anything else.

Eggs For Royalty

I am eager to jot down this recipe for egg salad and olives. It is especially gratifying and filling. Another tasty and non-fattening, nutrient dense combination that will make you happy.

4 eggs
1/3 cup of your favorite mayonnaise type dressing-- this is where you can cut calories or not-- that's up to you.
salt
sweetener
15-18 olives
lettuce
vinegar 2 tsp.

Hard boil the eggs by placing them in a sauce pan with enough cold water to cover, and bringing them to a boil, but not before adding a teaspoon of vinegar. Boil a couple of minutes and let set for twenty minutes covered with a lid. Boil again for a minute, and then pour off the boiling water and drown the eggs with cold water by placing them in a plastic bowl of cold water, or ice water, and then one by one removing them, and, cracking the shell, to peel, Keep the bowl of water and eggs chilled until they are all peeled. Discard the shells and slice the eggs into 1/4 inch cubes. Add dressing, salt, 1 tsp, vinegar and sweetening equal to 2 tsp, sugar. Leave pimento stuffed green olives whole and put on top of the egg salad. You can add a little seasoned salt if you want or not. It may be best with regular salt so you can really taste the olives.
When you are ready to eat it, take large leaves of any lettuce you like and stuff them with the egg salad, add a couple more olives to the wrap and roll up and eat. You could also layer two lettuce leaves like a sandwich and stuff them with the egg salad. You should also salt the outer leaves of the wrap or sandwich so this won't taste too bland. Use regular table salt.

Pineapple Smoothie

The pineapple beverage I am telling you about looks like the vanilla; the taste is a happy surprise since instead of the typical taste you have an even fruitier sensation.

This image is cut from a photo for milkshakes from Spuds Drive-in in Briggs Idaho, a home town drive-in known for beautiful Idahoan views. It is merely a model for my pineapple smoothie. I am not from Idaho but the drive-in is my favorite type of fast food on many occasions and they have a wonderful menu.

My recipe is from Dole's pineapple juice, frozen concentrate, ice, banana and vanilla.

About 5 oz of frozen banana
6 oz of water
5 ice cubes
1 TB frozen pineapple juice concentrate
3 TB splenda or 2 1/2 pkts = sweetener
1 tsp. vanilla extract

It is nice flavored with cherry also, just add a scant tsp. of kool-aid powder in cherry.

I'll give a chocolate fudge next round.

Chocolate-Jello 'Mock Nesselrode Pie'

5 cups of skim or low fat milk
2 envelopes Knox gelatin (unflavored gelatin)
sweetening = 1 1/4 cups sugar
6 TB cocoa
1 tsp vanilla
1 TB salt

dissolve gelatin in 1/4 cup of the milk by sprinkling over cold milk and letting gel up Then heat over low heat until gelatin is dissolved into liquid with no granules left.

Add the rest of the milk,the cocoa, sweetening and simmer until the chocolate dissolves. Add vanilla and salt and and pour into 9x9 inch glass pan.

After set divide with plastic spatula into serving squares, takes about three to five hours.

Eat this with low fat "cool whip."
Also, the Cream Cheese Cookies make it most filling--trim2thebrim;]

You don't have to make (see note*)to put on top--for diet version use all sugarless ingredients.

• 8 ounces Oregon Fruit canned cherries in syrup (or other fruit)
• 1/2 cup chopped candied fruit (fresh or drained canned pineapple may be substituted if you dislike candied fruit)
• 1/2 cup good quality orange marmalade
• 1/2 cup chopped candied ginger
• 1/2 cup dark rum

 Note*the nesselrode sauce 

Butter Peanut Cookies (egg-free)

I have a new recipe for egg-free cookies. I am really surprised how good they taste. This one is buttery peanut butter.


6 TB 70 calorie margarine
1/2 cup plus 2 TB of peanut butter preferably Natural
1/2 cup Splenda or = valent
2 tsp milled flax seed
1 tsp water
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 TB imitation low calorie mayonnaise (heaping TB)
1/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder like Sego or Carnation

Combine everything in a small to medium sized bowl
Drop by half TB onto baking pan and bake at 350 degrees F until set like a toll house cookie, 8 minutes or so.

Remove from pan carefully with a metal spatula.


Makes about 30 cookies.
45 calories ea. but only 2.5 carb. Gr.

I always like a couple of these, three if I'm famished with vanilla yogurt or vanilla yogurt with frozen berries, sugar less versions of all. It is very filling. A splurge and a great meal substitution, protein, milk and fruit all at once.

Meatball Sandwich

This is so good. Cheese sauce mix is mixed together with mild sausage and a few more things to make meatballs, that you put on a few large lettuce leaves with ketchup, mustard and mayonnaisse, something like cheese-y barbecued spareribs -- boneless spareribs.

Take one pound of mild pork sausage:
Add: 1/2 cup of nonfat dry milk powder
1 1/2 shredded -- Pared and shredded raw carrots
1 Tb. dry cheese sauce mix from a box of macaroni & cheese
Add one whole egg, which makes it gooey but it will hold together, you may like to drop into the skillet with two spoons, one large from dropping and one small for shaping.
Mix this together and drop by Tablespoon into a large skillet
Braise in the skillet with a little water (spray with pam first if you like) being careful not to scorch the meatballs, brown slightly adding a little water continuously so the meatballs don't burn or stick to the pan, use a lid to help in cooking through.
"Fry" in this manner a few minutes (maybe four or five) and work in batches until the meatballs are all done.

Store in layers in a plastic container separating with plastic or foil or serve NOW.

When ready to eat, either warm up the meatballs, or proceed immediately after cooking to pile onto a plate two or three nice outer lettuce leaves, folded in half if necessary to make a layer about the size of a piece of bread. Make another lettuce Layer for the top, but don't put it on until you add ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise or salad dressing with a =1tsp. of artificial sweetener on top of it all for a "secret" sauce.

You can see the brown sausage meatballs and the crunchy iceberg lettuce in the pictures. ;]♡

Here are the somewhat charred meatballs, good anyway. The next batch I braised more carefully -- but gets the idea presented.

Three or four of these are pretty satisfying like this.

This makes about 20 1 1/4 inch meatballs.

Broccoli-Carrot-Raisin Salad

Something sweet, crunchy and good doesn't have to ruin your physique. Vegetables tossed together with a few other ingredients can be so tasty, you will prefer the dish over a Butterfinger Chip candy.

Recipe:
1/3 bag of frozen broccoli or broccoli and cauliflower
2 large carrots, pared and cut into thin round slices
2 TB. of dark raisins
2 TB. of French dressing
sweetening equivalent to 2-3 tsps. of sugar

Remove the frozen vegetables from the freezer. If you are using cauliflower, you will have to add them to the pan of carrots after about 5 minutes and simmer another 2 minutes. If you are using broccoli you can simply defrost and add to the warm carrots.

Prepare the carrots. Put in a large skillet with 1/4 cup of water and simmer about 6 minutes until almost soft or to taste, adding more water by the tsp. if the water runs low. In the end there ultimately should be no water in the pan and the carrots should be a little softened.

Place the carrots and other vegetables in a bowl to chill, if using defrosted broccoli you can set aside with a cover on top and let the carrots cool like this.

When the vegetables are cool add the raisins, the dressing, the sweetening and 1/2 tsp. of salt.

Eat, or chill for later.

One or two servings.
