ANNOUNCEMENT! PB2 is here!

Our newest product-- PB2 is here! Powdered Peanut Butter! Regular Peanut Butter has 16 grams of fat in 2 Tbsp but PB2 has just 1.5 grams!!!!  Yep--that is not a misprint!  If you would like to order it from us, call 1-888-657-5402. It is just $6.95 per jar.  WE will send recipes along with your order.  Here are a few
ideas  to get you started:

1) You can mix it in pudding--it tastes great in our Butterscotch, Chocolate or Vanilla Creme Pudding.

2) You can blend 2 Tbsp- 3 Tbsp into a Chocolate milkshake made with our Chocolate drink or our Double Chocolate Pudding.

3) You can make candy with it: blend a tablespoon of Walden Farms Carmel Dip and Chocolate Sauce into 4 tablespoons on top of a piece of plastic wrap.  Then roll and wrap and place in the freezer for 15 minutes.  SO yummy!

4) Make a Chicken Stir Fry with a can of chicken, Japanese frozen veggies and 2 Tbsp. PB2.  I also use a Thai spice called Spice Hunter Thai seasoning that has some coconut powder in it and, boy, does this taste authentic!

5) Put it on fruit--apples, peaches, nectarines or on celery.  If you are on maintenance or have children--you can do Ants on a Log with celery, PB2 and raisens down in a row!

6) Put it in this year's pumpkin pie!  But be careful that it doesn't overpower your pumpkin taste.

Scroll down to find last year's pumpkin pie recipe--it is THE best pumpkin pie I have ever eaten and it is hard to believe that it is dietetic! Thank you,  Sonya Clemmons!

CHOCOLATE-COVERED STRAWBERRIES

So easy to make! Just mix 1/4 cup of Sugar-free Walden Farms Chocolate Sauce with 1/4 cup of Eggbeaters or egg whites and dip each strawberry in the mixture. I like to leave the stems on to hold the berry while I dip. Pleace the berries on a cookie sheet or in a miniature muffin tin sprayed with cooking spray and place in the freezer for 20 minutes. The berries will be cold and frosty and, oh....so delicious!

Belly Buster Weight Loss Cruise

Belly Buster Cruise Details!
Go on the cruise and then diet with us at http://www.bellybusterdiet.com/!
We go on a Weight Loss Cruise each year to the Caribean and YES we all lose weight together!
The 2010 Belly Buster Weight Loss Cruise will leave from Miami and go to Cozumel and Belize! We will cruise from March 22-27, 2010. Please join us and our Belly Buster Babes and learn a new way of eating!

If you put a deposit of $200per person on the cruise now, you can keep doing that each month and have it paid for by March! It is refundable through end of November. After December, cabins may not be available as they fill up fast with only 3 months to go.We are trying to get sponsors like Walden Farms and Promise Margarine and Silk Soy Milk--companies we promote who may pay for 1/2 fare on your cabins through contests,etc. But you would need to have your name in the hat ahead in order to get a "sponsorship" from them. You may also do fundraisers in your community to go. Anyone have ideas?

The rates on the Royal Caribbean Navigator of the Seas for March 22-27 are as follows:
Cat. N / interior: $659.00 + $79.08 (tx)= $738.08 pp.
Cat. H / oceanview: $769.00 + $79.08 (tx)= $848.08 pp.

She is our Cruise One travel planner handlingthis and I highly recommend you get it in case of an emergency as it does notcost much.If you would prefer to mail me a check, let me know you are doingthat, but mail it to:

4909 South US 1, Fort Pierce, FL 34982

Anyone can go--you do not have to be a client or a consultant! It costs less than Richard Simmons cruise, although I would LOVE to go on his! We will have speakers and classes and exercise depending on the needs of the group. Will keep you posted on some of the fabulous guest speakers we have in mind.

Cauliflower Popcorn

This is from Angi Wuebben in response to me saying "the only thing I miss on the diet is popcorn!" However, this tastes a little like fried okra to me, which is something else this Southern Belle misses! I wonder if you can do the same with okra?!


For a picture and other reciptes visit at Mrs. Dash's website:
http://www.mrsdash.com/recipes/recipe-view.aspx?recipeID=721

Cauliflower Popcorn
Ingredients:
1 head of cauliflower
3 Tbsp. (45mL) olive oil (or Canola/Enova oil would be best--your body does not absorb it!)
2 Tbsp. (30mL) Mrs. Dash® Table Blend
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450°F (220°C).
Cut out and discard cauliflower core and thick stems. Trim remaining cauliflower into florets the size of popcorn.
Toss thoroughly in a bowl with olive oil and Mrs. Dash® Table Blend.
Spread cauliflower on a sheet pan and roast for approximately 60 minutes, or until nicely browned (that's the carmelization process converting the dormant natural sugars into sweetness).
Turn three or four times during roasting. The browner the florets, the sweeter they will taste. Serve immediately.

Frittata with Fruit for Fall Breakfast!

One of my clients http://www.beforeandafterdiet.net/ recently came in the clinic saying that she had a zucchini frittata for breakfast and I just had to look that up to see if it was even on the diet! Low and behold, it is! Granted, we are supposed to have scallions (green onions) rather than sweet onions, but oh my goodness is this ever good! On maintenance you could add a couple of tablespoons of low-fat Bisquick to it to make it more like a quiche if you like.

Enova Oil is found along side the Canola at the grocer and the neat thing about it is your body does not absorb it! Goes right through you and NO diarrhea! One less thing to make you fat! Many people ask me why we are allowed to have so much cheese on our diet...it has fat in it, too!

However, melted cheese has a chemical in it called CLA ...conjugated lineloic acid...which actually helps you burn fat! SO it is a good fat!

Asparagus or Zucchini Frittata Recipe
2 teaspoons Canola or Enova oil

1/2 small onion, thinly sliced

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 pound asparagus, tough ends snapped

off, spears cut diagonally into 1-inch lengths

OR 1/2 cup peeled and diced zucchini

4 large eggs, lightly beaten (Eggbeaters)

1 cup shredded Gruyere or Swiss cheese

Heat oil into a 10-inch oven-proof frying pan over medium high heat. Add onions and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened, about 3 minutes. Add asparagus, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, covered, until the asparagus are barely tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Pour in eggs and cook until almost set, but still runny on top, about 2 minutes. While cooking, pre-heat oven broiler.

Sprinkle cheese over eggs and put in oven to broil until cheese is melted and browned, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from oven with oven mitts and slide frittata onto a serving plate. Cut into wedges.

Serves 4. And while you are eating, check out Belly Busters at http://www.bestdietsource.com/ !

July is Blueberry Month

sponsored by http://www.bellybusterdiet.com/

Blueberries have long been recognized as the fruit with the most antioxidants. The United States Department of Agriculture on May 8th, 1999, proclaimed July to be National Blueberry Month. Blueberries are grown in 35 states, with the United States producing over 90% of the worlds supply.

One of the easiest fruits to prepare and serve, these tasty berries offer as much as four times as many health-giving antioxidants than other fruits and veggies. Because blueberries have few natural pests, (other than birds), pesticides are generally unnecessary when growing them. A powerhouse among fruits, blueberries rich antioxidants are valued for their cancer and heart disease fighting properties. They are also shown to help improve memory, balance, and coordination.

Adding fresh summer blueberries are a great way to give a little health punch to some of your favorite dishes. Try them in yoghurt, pancakes, muffins, on your salad, over ice cream and even blueberry salsa.
We invite you to enjoy a few of our tasty blueberry recipes below and tell us the ways you like to eat these healthy berry bites.

Care Solutions
* Don’t wash berries until just before using to prevent berries from becoming mushy.
* Chill berries soon after picking to increase shelf life. If refrigerated, fresh-picked blueberries will keep 10 to 14 days.
* Freeze berries in freezer containers without washing to keep the skins from toughening.
Fun Facts
* The blueberry is the second most popular berry in the U.S. The strawberry is number one. Over 200 million pounds of blueberries are grown commercially each year.
* Blueberries contain significant quantities of both antibacterial and antiviral compounds, and have a reputation of fighting infections. They may also help protect against heart disease.
* The blueberry muffin is the official muffin of Minnesota.
* Blueberry Jelly Bellies were created especially for former president Ronald Reagan.
* The blueberry is the official state fruit of New Jersey, which also raises the most cultivated fresh blueberries in the United States.

Punch Bowl Cake (Great for July 4th because of it's Patriotic Look!)
2 pkg of pudding mix
2 pkgs of strawberry jello mix
2 cups of blueberries
2 cups of strawberries
1 angel food cake (sugar-free)
1 lg. Cool Whip

Make up the pudding mixes and jellos according to directions and then layer between crumbled cake. I put pudding, then cake, then a layer of jello with the stawberries in it, then cakem then pudding tieh the blueberries on top, etc. In a glass trifle bowl, this looks so pretty! For an American holiday, very patriotic on your table. Great for diabetics and for those on a diet!
