CHILES REYENOS
Ingradients
2 poblano pepers
2 eggs
2 cups of mozzarela cheese (around that Im not sure on the measure)
1/2 cup of soy flour (not going to use it all)
Oil don't know how much enough to fry
Directions
The peppers are roasted and after that place them in a seeld plastic bag and leave them rest for 5 min.
Then skin is removed, seeds and veinsat the same time rinsed with water.
The peppers are then stuffed with cheese and closed with the aid of a stick, then sprinkle the whole pepper in the flour.Beat the egg whites until stiff and then add the yolks and continue beating in a separate bowl. Place the oil to boil in a pan, floured chiles are passed through the egg and then put frying turning then to be fried on all sides.
Tip: I usually put like a station first the stuffet pepper in a plate then the second would be the flour in a plastic container and the las the bowl with the eggs and then the pan with the oil.
Serve with the coliflower rice and black beens....

I love this recipe!Welcome to the forum Mariaitram!If I can help you please ask.I am umpa,dougs wife.I have a column on the homepage called ask umpa where I can convert your favorite recipes to fat to skinny friendly.This is a great recipe! ;D

Here is something I tried at Whole Foods in Annapolis on Monday, but I haven't tried to make it yet.
Grill long pieces of sliced eggplant. Place a mixture of ricotta cheese and seasonings (I tasted some cinnamon) on a slice and roll it up. It will be like stuffed shells at this point. Place them side by side in a baking dish. Add tomato sauce and top with Italian cheeses. Bake at 350 until cheese is melted on the top. It was delicious!!!!
-
Beautiful! ;D

Tuna Patties

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These are quick & easy I don't think they are on here if so sorry to duplicate .
Tuna Patties
2 small cans of tuna in water
2 large eggs
shredded cheese
Parmesan cheese
salt & pepper
Just fry in canola or olive oil until brown & enjoy !
-
Umpa did you just enter me in the contest with my yummy tuna patties ? LOL ;D
-
Vegetarian meals dear~
-
umpa move it to the Vegetarian meals dear, not me so I guess they are not counting fish as meat ;D
-
Anyone heard from Phil or bevxx? Katary even? They all seem to have vanished.
-
I think I calculated these carb totals correctly. But here is my submission for the vegetarian recipe contest.
Pecan Meatballs with Sweet and Sour Sauce.
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese = 1.6 carbs
1/2 cup ground pecans = 14.0 carbs
1 cup ground pork rinds = 0
1/4 cup minced onion = 2.95 carbs
1 egg = .6 carbs
Mix all ingredients and make into small meatballs (approx. 25). Brown in skillet with a little oil or non stick spray. Remove meatballs from skillet and set aside while you make sauce.
In same skillet you fried the meatballs, mix together
1 cup frozen pineapple juice concentrate (diluted 3 parts water) = 12.77 carbs
1/2 cup water = 0
3 T cider vinegar = 2.7 carbs
1 T soy sauce = 2.0 carbs
Xylitol or stevia to taste for desired sweetness
Scant 1/4-1/2 t xantham gum to thicken = 0
Once sauce has thickened, add meatballs to sauce and simmer until heated through.
Serves 4 = 9.15 carbs per serving
You can add steamed green peppers, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, celery, bok choy, broccoli, whatever vegetables if you would prefer a one dish meal.
-
okay friedpie this is wicked cool, I gotta cook this one.Can you use sugar free teriaki instead of pineapple juice?Since you are using vineager for the sweet and sour thing.It would reduce the carbs by 9. :)
-
Aren't pork rinds the skin of pork, fried in lard (pork fat). I don't think a vegetarian would eat this. It also seems like a lot of carbs for just part of one meal. You would still have to add your veggies etc. For those trying to stay between 10 - 15 carbs per day, it would be all used up just for this.
-
I agree Shihtzumom1 altough it does sound good I think that Umpa & doug has to remake that with less carbs .
-
You are correct but the pork rinds are not required,neither is the pineapple juice.The pork rinds can be replaced by the Now unblanched almond flour(its only 4 carbs a cup) .It has a similar consistency as pork rind flour.What is cool to me is using the nuts to make meatballs.But you are correct Shihtzmom.
I started this contest for our people on the forum that are vegetarian and can't eat soy because they are breast cancer survivors.So I have total faith that you will all throw your ideas up here and see what sticks.Some vegetarians eat eggs and fish.I appreciate you all helping me contest, so post away!! :)
-
Yes Jo I moved your recipe .I made them yesterday and they are wonderful.Doug posted a picture with your original recipe.They were very filling ..They kept me full all day! :)
-
I seen dougs pic i have to make some now havnt in awhile I put flax meal in my meatloaf the other day to replace breadcrumbs could not even tell the difference
-
Well crap! The original recipie called for cracker crumbs and cornflakes, so I changed that to porkrinds. That will not work for vegetarian. But the meatballs are the bomb.
Friedpie
-
It would be way great with Umpa's suggestion to change the pork rinds to almond flour and would really reduce the carbs if you changed to the SF Teriyaki sauce instead of the pineapple juice like she said. Sounds like a great recipe.

This is my official entry.

-
I just made this and it is so YUMMY!! ;D

I figured that if I don't win, I'll just request it since I've had like 450 posts since I last requested one! : )
-
I spose I could do that.
-
Good googly moogly...you have almost 1800 posts! w00t
-

I think I talk a lot too...probably too much...more so in person than even on here...ask Maddysmom, she knows! LOL
-
Good things?

Here is my entry for the contest. The original called for canned pork & beans, chili sauce, molasses & brown sugar.
EASY BAKED BEANS
2 cans black soy beans, drained (approx. 3 1/2 cups = 7 net carbs)
1/4 cup salsa (mine was 3 net carbs per 1/4 cup)
1/4 cup pasta sauce (mine was 4 per 1/2 cup = 2 net carbs)
2-3 tblsp. SF maple syrup = 0
2-3 tblsp. SF honey = 0
1/2 small onion sliced (approx. 1/4 cup = 2.5 net carbs)
Spray casserole dish with Pam. Add all ingredients except the onion and stir well. Lay the sliced onion over top. Bake in a 350° oven for 2 1/2 - 3 hours. The onion should be well cooked and most of the juice should be cooked off, but not dry. I have only made this once so I have not perfected the cooking time. Makes approx. 4 cups. My net carbs came to 14.5 so that would be 3.625 per 1/2 cup serving. (You could probably find salsa & pasta sauce with fewer net carbs).
**Note: For those who are not vegetarians, you may want to cut 1 or 2 slices of bacon in 1 inches pieces and lay over the onion before baking. The bacon should look cooked when your baked beans are done.
-
Well done shihtzumom.This is a good one! ;D
-
yep gonna have to try that when i find some beans I got to find them I want some chili too

Zucchini Hummus
1 1/2 cups raw zucchini, peeled and chopped (3.3 carbs)
2 tbsp raw tahini (5 carbs)
2 tbsp lemon juice (2 carbs)
2 cloves crushed garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
Put all ingredients in food processor or high speed blender and blend until smooth.
Dip for cucumber slices, celery, or other low carb veggies.
Can also use it as a spread for lettuce rollups with your favorite deli meats.
Makes about 2 cups 11 carbs total or 2.75 carbs per 1/2 cup serving
-
What is tahini?
-
Tahini is sesame seed paste. You can buy it already made or make it by grinding raw sesame seeds and a little olive oil into a paste. Might be able to replace it in the recipe with a tablespoon of Vegenaise??
-
Mock Curried "Egg" Salad - (No cholesterol either)
1 package firm or extra firm tofu (drained for 1-2 hours) (6.3 carbs)
2-3 tablespoons Grapeseed Oil Vegenaise (2 carb/1 carb per tbsp)
3 tablespoons finely chopped celery (or to taste,) (1.7 carbs)
2 tablespoons minced onion (or to taste) (1.7 carbs)
2 tsp Curry powder (to taste, I used one tablespoon)
Himalayan or Real Salt to taste,
Pepper to taste
Instructions
Remove the tofu from the container and rinse in cold water. Then wrap in paper towels and place in colander with a heavy pot on top to press out most of the moisture.
Drain and mash tofu, mix in remaining ingredients.
Eat as is, stuff into celery, or wrap in romaine or collard leaves.
Makes 4 servings – 11.7 carbs for entire recipe, or 3 carbs per serving (adjust carbohydrates if you use more celery and/or onion).

Cheesy Kale Chips
(lower carb than vegan recipe)
Preheat oven to 375 (or can dehydrate for 8 hours in dehydrator at 105 degrees)
Ingredients:
2 bunches kale, either curly or dinosaur (lacinato)
1 large red or yellow bell pepper (seeded and chopped)
1 large stalk celery
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Himalayan salt (optional).
1/2 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup flax seeds or sunflower seeds (if using sunflower seeds, be sure to soak
them for 2 hours before using to make
them more digestible)
Directions:
Remove the spines from the kale either by tearing down both sides of the spine, or cut with a knife. (Save them to make soup, put in salads, or compost)
Wash the kale very, very well and dry (salad spinner works great).
Tear into large pieces about the 7-8 inches in length and put into a large bowl.
In a high-speed blender (or food processor) combine red bell pepper, celery, flax or sunflower seeds and lemon juice. Blend into a dressing that will be a thickish paste.
Pour over kale leaves and sprinkle on the shredded Parmesan cheese.
Massage the “dressing” into the kale chips until well coated. Add salt if desired.
Spread the coated kale single layer on a cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees or 14 to 16 minutes. (Or dehydrate for 8 hours).
You’ll know it’s done when the kale is still green but very dry, flaky and will crumble if you squeeze it. These are super crunchy and very addicting.
* Can also use collard greens or red chard in place of kale.
Other Add-ins: Cilantro, jalapeno, nutritional yeast, curry, cumin, thyme. (If using nutritional yeast omit the Parmesan and use 2 tablespoons)
-
Congrats Maria! I haven't tried your recipe yet either, but it is on my list.
-
Congratulations Maria! I can tell it's a winner just by the name and will try it soon!
-
Beebs, your Cheesy Turnip Casserole recipe is delicious. I made that with meatloaf & salad and I think it's one of the few times that I haven't made an extra side dish for the muggles. A great comfort food dish. The whole family enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing your recipe!!
-
Hey! Im glad you and your muggles enjoyed it! ;D
-
Beebs how small do you cut up the turnips ? I am going to have to try this sounds good !
-
Jo, I cubed the turnip to boil it. After it was cooked I slightly mashed it with a hand masher. You don't need it smooth like mashed potatoes, just break down the chunks. You'll like it!
-
Cubes.
-
Turnips are cheap too , I think I would like the turnip fries but have not been able to master them for some reason .
-
Hot grease.It will cool off everytime you fry something.Wait for it to heat back up :)
-
Thanks Umpa I will try again Do they work as well pan fry as they do in a fryer ?
-
I made some parmesan turnip fries. You slice the turnips, and coat them with a little olive oil. Then you put them in a bag with parmesan cheese (not the shredded kind, but the kind from the shaker bottle), salt, pepper, whatever other seasonings you want. You bake them and I will have to look up the details and then modify this post! My mind went blank....duh....
-
Thanks Owensmath !

Broccoli with garlic and asiago.
Beebs~
I finally remembered to get asiago. This recipe is the bomb!! :) Thanks!
-
Here it is: http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/crispy-turnip-fries/Detail.aspx (http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/crispy-turnip-fries/Detail.aspx)
Owensmath I made the Crispy Turnip Fries tonight and they were very good. I should have cooked them a just little longer because they weren't quite crispy yet, but I will know for next time. My husband & son ate them as well and were quite surprised how good they were. My husband said they didn't even really taste like turnips. So this recipe is a keeper. Thanks!
-
YAY! A friend from church made the turnip fries one night and then scalloped turnips the next night. Her husband, who claims to dislike turnips, ate seconds of both dishes!
-
:) quorn is good..i don't eat pork products....you can but it in most supermarkets in england..i don't know if you've even heard of it in the states..its a sort of meat substitute made with a mycoprotein.. ::)..it comes in mince, sausages, chicken style chunks, ham style...i like it but i'm getting used to it...x
-
bevxx
I love quorn too-as I gave up meat for lent and meats are quite a big part of FTS I needed some protein. I like the naked chicken breasts the most. I replace all my chicken with this product!

Zucchini Hummus
1 1/2 cups raw zucchini, peeled and chopped (3.3 carbs)
2 tbsp raw tahini (5 carbs)
2 tbsp lemon juice (2 carbs)
2 cloves crushed garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
Put all ingredients in food processor or high speed blender and blend until smooth.
Dip for cucumber slices, celery, or other low carb veggies.
Can also use it as a spread for lettuce rollups with your favorite deli meats.

-
Love this, made it 3 times already as double batches to take to potlucks. Well received.
-
I think I have overlooked this recipe :) Just thought I would add though that when I copied it into my recipe program it came up with 13.89 net carbs for the recipe. Not too much of a difference but a good example of where carbs can sneak in and add up when you aren't looking ;)
I think the mis-count is with the zucchini, garlic, and cumin. ::)
Sounds delicious...I plan to make it soon ;D
-
Beautiful recipe! TooSweet we need to start another recipe contest! Any ideas? :)
-
Yes we do need another contest. It's the season for parties and get togethers...maybe something to do with that?
-
Great idea! Start getting everyone ready for the holidays.But of course in October is halloween?? We have never done a candy/treats contest?? :)
-
Oh boy! :D What a fun one that would be :)
-
I will speak to Doug this morning :)
-
Oh boy! :D What a fun one that would be :)
Hi, Shawn! :)
Halloween is the kick off of the "Sugar Season".
Between then and New Year's day, are the most challenging times.
Most people gain more weight that time of year than any other.
But with FTS alternatives, it will make the holiday season MUCH healthier!
Here's to a healthy 2013 holiday season for our entire FTS family! ;D ;D ;D
