Just thought I would share a yummie recipe for pudding I made last night. I needed a dessert and didn't have much in the house.

I took a martini glass and filled the bottom layer with instant chocolate pudding.

For the next layer I used a couple of spoonfuls of carmel apple dip (warmed up slighty to make it spreadable).

Then I took a green apple and put it through my shredder and topped it with a little whipped cream. It was a hit with the big kids and little kids

EllieA~ That sounds so good! So was the apple shredded then? Dumb question I am sure. I just didn't know you could do that!

I think the shredder would have worked on an apple that was crisper. It turned out that mostly the juice ran into it and chucks of apples. But it really did prevent some of the browning of the apple when I did it that way.

You guys have a pretty groovy thread going here! I thought I would throw in a super easy crockpot chicken recipe. I have never measured it out... but it makes everyone happy

Mojo Chicken Quesadillas

Mojo Marinade (publix brand works really well!- if you dont have publix, I would point you to the spanish section of your grocery store)
1 green pepper
1 Lg Tomato
1 Lg Onion
1 Jalapeno
Boneless Skinless chicken breast
Shredded cheese
Tortillas

Tip for Jalapenos:
when you cut them up take out the seeds and "innards" it cuts down the spicy aspect.

If you stick the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot until it is covered, top with enough mojo to cover the chicken (and fill in the little cracks between) then shop the veggies and toss in. Cover... cook on low while you are at work
When you get home you can turn off the crockpot, pull out the chicken and shred. Strain veggies from leftover juices, and mix into shredded chicken. Make quesadillas

I use the low carb south beach diet wheat tortillas... I am on the GI diet. It works great! Everyone in my house loves them, and despite what it sounds like, it is really easy/

Monique, that sounds very much like the casserole i was thinking about.

Okay, girls. This is the first time I can check in with this thread since before my vaca on the 26th! And before I have to take my mom to the doc, I thought I'd come on and give you that awesome chicken recipe I was talking about with some of you before. We made this during our dinner night to cook at the family reunion and everyone could not stop talking about it. And it's so easy! If you go to this link, you can see a short video of how to make it too. Again, it's so simple! http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/cooking...er.htm?vid=513

Grilled Bruschetta Chicken:

Ingredients:

1/4 cup KRAFT Sun-Dried Tomato Dressing, divided
4 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 lb.)
1 medium tomato, finely chopped
1/2 cup KRAFT Shredded Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil or 1 tsp. dried basil leaves

PLACE large sheet of heavy-duty foil over half of grill grate; preheat grill to medium heat. Pour 2 Tbsp. of the dressing over chicken in resealable plastic bag; seal bag. Turn bag over several times to evenly coat chicken with the dressing. Refrigerate 10 min. to marinate. Remove chicken from marinade; discard bag and marinade.
GRILL chicken on uncovered side of grill 6 min. Meanwhile, combine tomatoes, cheese, basil and remaining 2 Tbsp. dressing.
TURN chicken over; place, cooked-side up, on foil on grill. Top evenly with tomato mixture. Close lid. Grill an additional 8 min. or until chicken is cooked through (165ºF).

Tracey~ That sounds so amazing!! YUM

traceync · 08-08-2008, 03:43 PM

Alisha, it is and so easy and quick. Especially since you only marinade it for like 10 minutes. You can do that while you put the other ingredients together.

And just eat it with a salad or veggies. They also suggest putting it with egg noodles and veggies.

Here's a new article in my PCOS newsletter. I love chili and it's a great meal for the fall/winter, that is fast approaching.

Chili Improves Your Blood Sugar

Women with PCOS commonly have an
exaggerated, excessive insulin response to starches
and sugars consumed during a meal.

We uncovered some research from the University
of Tasmania in Australia showing that consumption
of chili powder with a meal reduced the amount of
insulin required to handle the increase of blood
sugar with a meal. For this reason, chili should be
beneficial in controlling PCOS-related insulin
problems.

The chili was especially beneficial for those who
were overweight.

Why not spice up your meals with some occasional
chili?

As this thread is meant for sharing food ideas, I thought I'd post this article I got in my pcos newsletter, too. I think I have a cookbook that is just for soups. I'll have to dig it out and see what I can find. This is also great for the upcoming fall/winter.

Anyone have any more good recipes?

Avoid This Hidden Threat to Your Health

This is another article you should read in full at
our website.

As an example, we explain why we recommend
making your own soup instead of buying canned
soup.

One of the reasons is that cans may contain a
chemical called "Bisphenol A" or BPA. This is a
chemical that has an estrogenic effect in your
body. You cannot see it or smell it. It is not listed
on the label.

BPA is everywhere in the environment. All people
have detectable levels of BPA.

Studies in lab animals suggest the average levels
found in body tissues are high enough to cause a
wide range of adverse effects. A few examples:

* May increase insulin resistance.
* Linked to recurrent miscarriage.
* Causes breast cancer in lab animals.
* Produces fibroids and polycystic ovaries in
lab animals.
* Makes you fatter and increases your risk of
developing metabolic syndrome.
* Both overweight and lean PCOS women have
higher levels of BPA than non-PCOS lean women.
* Linked to male hormone levels.
* Exposure during pregnancy disturbs early egg
development in unborn female fetuses.

This is one of the reasons why we ask you not to
eat certain foods and why some foods are not
included in our diet. Among other things, we are
trying to minimize your exposure to BPA and the
tens of thousands of other environmental chemicals
that are playing havoc with your health.

Thanks Tracey! I threw out my beloved Nalgene bottle because of the BPA risk!

traceync · 08-28-2008, 10:18 PM

LJ, I didn't even know about it until today!
