Easy As Pie

Spent the weekend with my aunt & uncle and my cousin's son made these two delicious pies:

Tang Pie

INGREDIENTS:
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 (8 oz.) tub Cool Whip
1 sm. can frozen orange juice concentrate
1 graham cracker crust

DIRECTIONS:
Blend together first three ingredients. Add 2 to 3 drops vanilla flavoring if desired. Mix well. Fold into crust and chill.


Key Lime Pie

INGREDIENTS:
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 (8 oz.) carton Cool Whip
1 sm. can frozen limeade
Green food coloring (opt.)
1 graham cracker crust

DIRECTIONS:
Blend together first three ingredients. Add 2 to 3 drops food coloring if desired. Mix well. Fold into crust and chill.

My cousin doubled the recipe and had pies for each day. Not knowing that I had to run back to the store for 2 more crusts! But, it all worked out. My brother-in-law's grandfather died, so I had something to take them.

Atkins Induction - Day 3

Breakfast:
2 Oopsie Mock French Toasts
Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper




















Lunch:
Sugar free Black Cherry drink
Tuna Fish Sandwich (w/Oopsie Buns)















Snack:
Sugar free vanilla pudding















Dinner:




FYI: This was the first time that I've made Oopsie stuff. I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but they were easy to make and are a great alternative to EGGS or WRAPS. This is what the batter on the pan looked like:

Sourdough Recipes

I found a recipe on Low Carb Recipes for Sourdough Waffles, but it didn't give the exchange information. So I googled around and found this one, but it has 30g of Carbs!

I also found a recipe for Sourdough Chocolate Cake (no exchange info there either).

The both sound interesting. Perhaps I can make them when I'm thinner (or I fall of the wagon - whichever comes first! ;o)

Atkins: Thai Coconut Soup

I think I'm going to run to the store and get some coconut milk and have this for lunch today. I hope it's good...


UPDATE: Well, it was pretty good. You can really taste the cilantro. But unless you're getting a bite of shrimp with each spoonful it's not very filling. This is definitely something that only skinny people could eat and call a meal!


I reheated some for a bite with my chicken, and I didn't care for it the second time around. Perhaps I was just REALLY hungry at lunch. ;o) I just don't have a taste for the exotic.

Speaking of coconuts, I found an original food blog called Cocounut&Lime. Looks promising.

Atkins Induction - Day 2

Breakfast:
3 Scrambled Eggs
Sugar free Black Cherry drink

Lunch:
Thai Coconut Shrimp Soup
Sugar free Black Cherry drink

Snack:
Sugar free chocolate pudding

Dinner:
I'm thinking of having the Broiled Orange-Chili Chicken Breasts. It sounds easy & delicious.


I found a Low Carb Recipes website that also had this recipe on it. Can't wait to see what else they have.

Snack:
Oooh, this sounds good - Basil Deviled Eggs. (I ♥love♥ Basil!)



Exercise:

Gulf Coast/Cajun

I found a recipe last night for Simple Crawfish Etouffe and another for Crunchy Fried Shrimp Dinner.

Indian Food

I found a great blog with Indian Food recipes. One of the interesting ones is Chicken-Peanut-Mango Curry: (Thai Style).

Then I found Curried Parsnip Soup with Blue Stilton on another site, which looks really good.


I also found a Pizzeria menu that I really like.
