Day 10: Recipe Time

Even though this diet consists primarily of pre-packaged shakes, puddings and soups ... there is a little bit of flexibility.  You just need to be a little bit creative and willing to try out some new things.

Recipe #1:  Root Beer Float

1 Packet Vanilla Shake Mix

1 Diet Root Beer (I like A&W)

Pour Root Beer over shake mix and stir well.  I mix about half the Root Beer then once it's stirred in I pour the rest of the Root Beer into a glass.  This helps keep some of the fizz in the drink.

This one is simple and I would image could be used with any type of diet shake mix.  Give it a try.  I think I am going to try the Chocolate Shake Mix with a Diet Coke ... a play on a Chocolate Coke.  I'll let you know how it works.

Recipe #2:  Teresa's Egg Bread

1/2 Cup Egg Beaters

4 Tablespoons Wheat Bran

1 Tablespoon Dried Minced Onions

1 1/2 Tablespoon Dried Parsley Flakes

1 Bouillon Cube (if desired)

Mix all ingredients together until you have a rather thick batter.  Pour into a frying pan sprayed with PAM or other no-calorie, non-stick spray.  Cook about 1-2 minutes until one side is cooked.  Flip over and cook other side 1-2 minutes (or less).  I found second side didn't need to cook quite as long.

Once cooked I cut/tore into pieces and put into a bowl.  I then poured the Creamy Chicken Soup over the top.  I did not come up with this recipe, I only modified it to my own tastes a bit.  You can adjust the spices or add another favorite dried spice to change the flavor.
