Here is Karens recipe for cranberry sauce & her comments. It is really good (as all her recipes are). I actually put in a little less splenda and no bourbon and picked out the cloves, cinnamon & fruit peels before serving:

"Makes approximately 4 cups
A friend of mine makes a fantastic cranberry sauce with chipotle chiles and star anise. If you want to try it, add 2 canned chipotle chilies, chopped, and 2 star anise to the cranberries and water with the rest of the ingredients. The bourbon gives the sauce a wonderful fruity flavour. Add more to taste if you like."

* 4 1/2 cups approximately 1-pound, fresh cranberries
* 1 1/2 cups water
* 2 strips orange peel
* 2 strips lime peel
* 1 cinnamon stick
* 6 whole cloves
* 1 1/2 cups Splenda
* 2 Tbsp. bourbon

Bring cranberries, water, orange lime peel, cinnamon and cloves to a boil. Boil until the skin of the berries pop open (about 5 minutes.) Remove from heat. Add the Splenda, and mix to thoroughly combined. Cool in refrigerator before serving. Total Carbs: 96.54 Total Carbs Minus Fiber: 77.43 Carbs per Serving: 1.3 Carbs per Serving minus Fiber: 1.04

I'd like to join! This sounds like great motivation, and someplace to come if I need support over the next month. I'll try with the recipe, but most of mine are off the board, plus I'm basically just learning to cook. So I'll think about and get back to you wiht that one!

Ok so I had a really bad day yesterday. I ran the cotton candy machine at the carnival and that led into all kinds of trouble. I ate at Burger King, I know I could have told them no bread, but I didnt. Then I came home, ate more bread and 4 pieces of candy. Then I ate a sandwhich and doritos. So that was my carb blow out, back to basics today. I got so sick last night, I woke up sick in the middle of the night and this morning I think when I went to the bathroom, every bad thing I ate came out. (sorry about the bathroom thing) Anyway, I woke up 172 this morning. Good luck to everyone and welcome to all the newcomers.

HAPPY NOVEMBER TO EVERYONE!

Welcome to our November challenge! Maureen I think Karen's recipe sounds fabulous. I will definitely be making it!

Welcome, CindyLynn!You've found the friendliest Low Carbers on the face of this planet. They are just awesome!

My weight is really, really slowing down. For some reason it keeps going between 176 and that nasty, stubborn 183. I was stuck at 183 for over a month! But this group keeps me going. Just post any recipe you want, whenever you want.

Heather, you look fabulous! Do you care to share any advice on how you lost so much weight? We could all benefit from your story.

Sheila, don't you dare get down on yourself for going off a bit at the carnival. You have done so well and you're right back on track again! What fun memories you must've made last night!

Happy November to you all....the month of thankfulness!
Hugs, Annie-Pie

Ready to take on November!!! (I can't believe it's November already! Time sure flies when we're having fun ) I so look forward to my time online with you guys! Thank God I found you!!!!!

Count me in also--my will power isn't as strong as the last two months. Haven't cheated but other people's
foods are looking too darn good.

I am going to share my recipe now because I am in the middle of making them.
Pickled Eggs
12 eggs hard boiled
1 cup of vinegar
1 cup of water
1 Tbsp of splenda
2 tsp pickling spice
1 tsp salt.
Method 1
Put in jar and mix all ingrediants together adding the eggs last. Refridgerate.
Method 2
I usually put all the ingrediants in a pot( except eggs) and bring to boil. Let it cool down until warm and then add to the eggs in a jar. Let sit on counter until cooled and then put in fridge. This method seems to get the eggs to pickle faster.

After 2 days they are good to go. You can slice them with egg slicer and put them on crackers for your family and for you put them on lettuce leaves. Garnish with chives, olives, green pepper, mustard.

Here's a recipe my DH really likes, I hope you like it too.

2 pounds boneless chicken breast
2 tb melted butter
3oz. grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup grounded almonds
1/2 tb oregano
1 tb dried parsley
1/4 ts paprika
1/4 ts pepper
1/2 ts salt
1/2 ts garlic
Preparing
Heat oven to 400 F. Spray a baking pan with no stick cooking spray. Dip chicken in butter; coat with combined remaining ingredients. Place in prepared pan.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until tender.


I'll post some more later.
