Good ideas!
I think I will need to try some of these also as it does get difficult watching everyone eat Pizza. They do insist on keep eating it!  :tongue:  :laughing:

I tried your chicken recipe today with the apricot jam on it Wendy, We are going to eat it tomorrow though. I didn't have all of the ingredients so I hope I didn't substitute too many things!  :wacko:  *woot*

I ate the pizza on egg again today for breakfast without meat.  It was just as good without meat and takes only a little cheese with olives and both days I ate the pizza for breakfast I was down the next morning on the scales.  It has taken away that want for pizza just as the soup did when I was eating it most weeks.

I hope you like the apricot chicken.  I haven't made it again in a while so will have to make it again.

Wendy, just wanted to say hi and Happy Easter to you and yours.  JF

How did your Passover Sedar dinner go?

[patns]

Do you think soy flour would work (and be LDL friendly) in the pizza recipe? I am afraid the popcorn flour would be so messy and I have soy flour ready made.

I try not to use flour of any kind and so that is what I have been trying to get away from when thinking about a crust.  I have loved the egg base as the crust and have been very satisfied with that for the time being.  But I am writing down ideas and recipes others have supplied.  Thanks for your thought about the soy flour.

The Seder dinner was great.  I don't like horseradish but ate it and all the foods like bitter herbs and applenut fruit thing.  The meal it self was delicious and I was down a pound the next morning so I guess my body liked it also.  The teaching was so interesting and the fellowship great fun.

Tonight is Biblestudy night so will be eating my big meal in the evening.  It was funny because I got a call from a couple that comes to the meetings saying they will bring the taco soup tonight.  They aren't even on LDL yet but they love the food I have been making each week and they always leave with my recipes.  I made the Gingerbread brownies w/ a honey butter for the top.  I like them without anything added to the top but I thought everyone who is used to eating real sweet things might need it to be sweeter tasting.  I also made strawberry shortcake for those that want something different but I made the strawberries with imitation sweetener.

By the way I have been down a lb almost every day this week.  I am only 10 lbs now away from my 2nd goal.  I sat and figured out my loss today and it came to 64 lbs (subtracting also what new scale added) since Nov. 5th.  Praise God!  So I went to the back of my closet today to get out clothes I thought would not fit for quite awhile and they all fit wonderfully.  I have a new outfit to wear Sunday to church that I haven't worn in probably 4 or more years.

B:  Orange, Banana & Pineapple Smoothie
L:  Raspberries
    Pizza Omelet w/ Olives and cheese
D:  Taco soup
    Gingerbread Brownie
    Strawberries - with no cake

Congratulations, Wendy.  You have really made this plan work for you.  Pam

[wendysgoodnews]

Thanks everyone.  You know it is funny how when I look in the mirror I still see myself as heavy like always.  It took fitting into these clothes to make me realize I really am  losing alot of inches.  I wonder when I lose and get thin if I will ever see myself as thin!
I hope I am right on my adding the lbs lost  with the change of scales but if I am off it is only by 2 lbs so forgive me if I am not exact on the lbs.

[patns]

Wonderful! Your Easter Sunday church outfit will be far more satisfying than if you had to buy  a new one.  You are doing so well because you have been so good about experimenting and creating with LDL approved foods.

[Joyful Friend]

Wendy, You are doing so well.  It's so nice to have something new to wear from your closet.  Keep up the good work. Joyful F

I hope I am right on my adding the lbs lost  with the change of scales but if I am off it is only by 2 lbs so forgive me if I am not exact on the lbs.

64 pounds is exact enough  and an amazing weight loss.  I love reading your posts and all the new recipes that you come up with -- keep them coming!
