Light Stuffed French Toast

Tuesday, September 20th, 2005

I developed this recipe after I was inspired by a breakfast eaten by Rachael Ray
on her show "$40
a Day". It is lower carb & low fat, but quite delicious. I normally shy away
from recipes using
all light and fat free ingredients, but I think this one is fabulous. Of
course, you can always
use all the full fat, full carb ingredients.

2 slices light bread (17 gm carb/5 gm fiber for 2 slices)
¼ cup egg substitute (or 1 egg)
¼ cup light soymilk (2 gm fat, 2 gm carb per 8 oz)
1-2 Tbsp fat free ricotta cheese
1 Tbsp sugar free strawberry preserves.
¼ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg

Ice Cream

Saturday, September 17th, 2005

Since its so hot this summer, I’ve been thinking about pulling out the
ice cream maker. But, now that I’m diabetic, I’m not sure just how to
adjust the recipe. Does anyone have a good tasting recipe to share for
home made ice cream? Thanks, Linda
