LynnDee-- tell me how it works out! LOL on your boss.

I had oopsies today with a Sonic sausage, egg and cheese toaster sandwich. It was to die for. I'm still stuffed!

daisyboo-- Let me know what you think of these! My kids love them. I made some with mix-ins, like ham and cheese (pre-baking) and my daughter ate quite a few of them over the next few days. Made in muffin tins and they're easy to pop into lunches.

Elle-- the oopsies come out spongy and soft, but when left on the counter they breathe and become more solid, but still supple. I sunned my buns on the dashboard today after they'd been in a bag while on my way out for lunch!

These make great cream puffs, strawberry shortcakes, you name it. People are using them for french toast, pitas, all sorts of things. They are truly incredibly versatile.

It's exciting seeing what people are making with them!

A friend used hers for bratwurst!

There is no sub for cream of tartar. You can go without it, but peaks tend to break down slightly faster without it. Only a pinch (1/8 of a tsp) goes a long way!

Needle-- I'd read that, too, but I'd be worried about adding that much liquid to the whites. OTOH, it has a 'sourdough' feel to it, if it worked! I might try it and see. I am a major fan of sourdough...

Here's the result of the pan-fried tilapia experiment!



Lord, it was soooo goood! The one on the left is the rev-roll only breaded one.

I could hardly tell the difference between the rev-roll and rev-roll/pork rind mixture. Perhaps the mixture-fried one was ever-so-slightly crispier. The other 2 are rev-roll/pork-rind mixed.

I put my rev-roll bread crumbs (and pork rind crumbs) in a zip-loc and into the freezer for future use!

OMG Elle - YUM!!!

That turned out beautifully, Elle! Very well done!

Cleo,

Mine turned out really flat but tasted great. I shredded the roast beef, put a tablespoon of cream cheese & a tablespoon of shredded cheddar on sandwich and fried it like you would a grilled cheese sandwich with some butter in the skillet. It was awesome!!!!!!

Ok here comes the n00b, never cooks, Atkins rookie question:

How do you measure 3 ounces of cream cheese. Does it need to be softened and put into a measuring cup? My cream cheese is in a little tub.

You can either do it by weight, or 3 ounces of cream cheese is the same as 6 Tablespoons of it.

I buy the blocks of cheese they come in 3 oz & 8 oz. I don't see why you can't measure it in a cup though.

OK, thanks. Actually the recipe says not to soften the cream cheese.

Elle your food looks like it turned out great!!!! When I get tired of cooking 3 meals almost every night can I come eat with you???????

Lol....yeah I do hate having to explain why I don't want a bun. If I tell you not to give me one, just dont. Don't ask why! Good point about keeping it warm longer because it takes me another 10-15 min to get home from Sonic!


I took 2 Oopsies to work today along with bacon cheese and lettuce. Well it turns out they bought a sandwich ring so I just took the insides of a piece out and put them on my Oopsies!! My manager came in, looked at my new sandwich and said "What the heck did you do to that?? You smashed it!

It does? Hmmm. I always soften mine and I whip it with the yolks, after the whites, with a little of the whites still clinging to the beaters, on very high speed until it is perfectly smooth and light yellow.

It's the ONLY way I can stay motivated. I simply HAVE to keep trying new things! I don't really make different "meals" per se, but like tonight, my fish were breaded and everyone else's was just seasoned and pan-fried. Kind of the opposite of "normal," huh? Usually it's the non-Lcers who bread things and the LCer that doesn't!
