Doug and Umpa, I just want to thank you for all the great recipes!!! I am new to the Fat and Skinny family (I started my life change in March; gave up foods that turn into sugar in the body for Lent) and I probably would not have made it thus far w/o all of your great ideas. My mom found your book in the Library and lent it to me. Your book taught me and inspired me to make the change to save my life. My mom is also making the change!! I am tearing up while I type this b/c it just means so much to me. I am down 60lbs and have 120 to go . I am just concentrating on putting one foot in front of the other to get to the goal line. It's not about how long will it take for me anymore, it's just about being healthy from here on out. Also, I am really looking forward to making this yummy looking dish!!!

Thank you,
Julie

PS. My mom and I both bought your book to read and reread...and then read again :)

Welcome to the family, Julie! :) :) :) :) :) :)

Congratulations on losing 60 pounds!!! :) :) :)
It took me over 10 months to lose that much!

The only sane way to succeed at life is by putting once foot in front of another.
That way, if one foot steps into something it shouldn't, we have a chance to change course before both feet are in it.

We will support and help you all the way to your goal!
Just take time to enjoy the journey... After all, life is simply a journey. And we should make the best of it! ;)
What you do today is what matters!

Thanks to everyone for the kind words and support. Umpa, have you tried to make pasta using Soy flour? I really miss mac and cheese but cannot , for the life of me, get my head wrapped around tofu. I have not used soy flour yet, so I do not know if it will work.
Thanks so much,
Julie

Hi jtdisme! :)

Go to the homepage, look under "Recipe Exchange", and finally for "Ask Umpa" (the first area under Recipes).
What you do today is what matters!

The problem is the soy flour falls apart when it hits the boiling water ;) I just bought a additive and will be experimenting with pasta again for my new cookbook.(I am a mad scientist at heart! :D)What type of pasta are you looking for?Did you find Ask Umpa?

I love that you are a mad scientist...you get to experiment (and have fun) and we get to enjoy the good food you create :) :) Can't wait for the cookbook!!!

I was just hoping to have a macoroni, or shell, type pasta for mac_n_cheese. I hope your experimenting works, but if it doesn't I know I'll be okay. Going without real mac_n_cheese is such a small sacrifice when I look at the big picture. I do not feel deprived at all!!!!

I did find Ask Umpa thanks to Mouseissue!! Thank you so much!!!
