I have always loved to cook and create new foods. Here
are just a few easy ideas for low carb/calorie/fat treats and beverages.
One of my main dilemmas when dining out, was what soft drink to order. I dont want caffeine or sugar. When I could find Diet Coke, I could rarely find caffeine free Diet Coke or Sprite. Ice tea, while a nice occasional treat, also had caffeine, but being very sensitive to the freshnes of tea, I usually did not care for it. Here is how I solved my dilemma, and know I can now always get a refreshing, zero carb/calorie/caffeine soft drink. Order a club soda with lime, squeeze the lime into the soda, then add a few drops Sweetzfree! YUM! This tastes very similar to Sprite, but with no Aspartame, and the associated aftertaste it comes with. Pina Colada Cottage Cheese (or Ricotta) snack 1/4 tsp KoolAide Pineapple drink mix 1/2 tsp Cocoanut Extract 3 or 4 drops (to taste) Sweetzfree 1/2 cup 2% Cottage Cheese or reduced fat Ricotta Cheese Mix together. eat! Fresh Old Fashioned Lemonade 1 large fresh lemmon 24 ounces cold water ice 6 or more (to taste) drops Sweetzfree Squeeze lemon or ream with citrus reamer, into glass. Add Sweetzfree, stir with ice. Very refreshing and addictive on a warm summer day. Dianes Guilt Free Cheesecake cupcakes For Cheesecakes 16 oz light Cream cheese 1/2 cup 2% Small curd cottage cheese 2 TBS reduced fat Sour Cream 1/2 teaspoon Sweetzfree 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract 1/4 tsp lemon juice 3/4 cup eggbeaters For icing: 2 TBS unsweetened cocoa powder 2 TBS fat free milk 1 tsp I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray (poured from opening the bottle) ( or you could use any liquid margarine or butter) 1/4 tsp Sweetzfree 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract To make cheesecakes: Preheat oven to 350. Spray 12 muffin tins with butter flavor PAM. Blend all cheesecake ingredients in a blender at medium speed, to yield a thick wet batter. Place 1/4 cup batter in each muffin tin, and bake 25 minutes, or till toothpick comes out clean from center of one of the cakes. Remove from oven and cool. For Icing: Mix all icing ingredients together well, and spread a thin layer on each cake. I finished it off with a light dusting of regular granulated Splenda. EZ Crepes 1/2 cup Eggbeaters 1/2 cup 2% Cottage Cheese 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract 2 or 3 (to taste) drops Sweezfree Wisk all ingredients together, or use immersion blender to break down all curd in cottage cheese. Heat omelet pan, and spray with butter flavor PAM cooking spray. Pour small amount of mix into hot pan, and cook till set, flip over and cook til set, slide out cool. This should make 3-4 crepes Freezer Coleslaw 1 bag shredded cabbage & carrots (cole slaw mix) Dressing 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup white vinegar 1/4 tsp Sweetzfree 1/8 cup water 1 teaspoon celery seed 1 teaspoon mustard seed Combine and boil for 1 minute. Cool and pour over slaw and mix well. Freeze overnight in individual servings, thaw or microwave to enjoy. You can double or triple this recipe and freeze it in plastic freezer containers. It thaws quickly and makes side dish or snack to pull out when you need something quick. More to come.....check back from time to time!
