wotsist`s/cheese puffs

Ingredients: 3 egg whites
1/8 tsp cream of tartar
A pinch of salt
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (frozen) How To Prepare: Preheat oven to 300 degrees.


Put the frozen cheese in a food processor/blender and chop, until it's in tiny little pieces.


In a mixing bowl, blend the first three ingredients, at high speed, until whites form stiff peaks. Sprinkle the chopped cheese, on top of the egg whites. Then, with a teaspoon or a rubber spatula, fold the cheese into the egg whites, VERY CAREFULLY, being careful not to disturb the fluffy whites, but thoroughly spread the cheese, throughout.


Then, using the handle of a teaspoon not the spoon part), dip tiny little clouds of the mixture, and place on a cookie sheet. It helps to have two spoons...one to scrape the mixture off of the dipping spoon. I would suggest using a sheet of parchment baking paper, to line your pan, but if you don't...spray the pan, very well.


Lightly spray the tops of the puffs, with butter flavored cooking spray. Lightly sprinkle grated parmesan cheese, on top of each puff. Then, put another coat of buttery spray, on top of that.


Bake at 300 degrees, for 30 to 45 minutes. The longer you can bake them (without them getting too brown), the crispier they will be. For even crispier puffs, turn off the oven, and leave them in the oven for at least 30-minutes.


Store in a tightly sealed, air-tight container.

potatoe cakes

Ingredients: 12 ounces frozen cauliflower
1 large egg -- beaten well
butter
sour cream (optional)
salt & pepper (to taste)
onion or scallion (depends how much you like em!) How To Prepare: 1. Put cauliflower in the microwave until it is cooked (I boil mine to make it extra tender). Drain it well. Put caul. in a mixing bowl and mash it (you can use a food processor or a potato masher) until it forms a paste with some little chunks.


2. Pour egg, onions, salt & pepper into bowl with caul. and mix it up well.


3. Melt some butter in a frying pan (med. heat). Ladle a small amount (small enough for the spatula to fit underneath) into the pan and make sure to push the sides so it form a circle. Cook until brown and flip carefully. Brown the other side. You can put a dollop of sour cream on them and I usually sprinkle a little salt on top.

dorito`s

Layer your favorite cheese in large nonstick frying pan. Stir over med. heat like scrambled eggs till completely melted. Allow to brown lightly on one side then flip like pancake to lightly brown other side. After flipping you can sprinkle either small amount of taco or chili packet onto cheese and flip a second time for just a few seconds to cook flavor into cheese crunchies. Remove from pan to several layers of paper towels. Allow to cool completely. Cut into strips, squares, or for us Dorito junkies triangles.


i have tried these several times and never work, if any one can let me know please.
Next best thing is to cut cheese into small squares, arrange on micro plate with gaps. sprinkle with spices then put on full power for around 3mins let cool and they taste just like crisps, lovely for dipping in sour cream

Sparkly jelly or jelly with a kick.

You need:
1 pkt low sugar jelly
½ pint hot water
Just over have a pint of diet lemonade
Frozen berries (optional)

Method

Make up jelly in usual way but only use ½ pint of water.
When the crystals are dissolved very slowly add the diet lemonade

Leave to set as per usual.

This makes a light tingly jelly.

You can add frozen berries to the mix for extra nutrition although it will add more carbs.

Another alternative is to use diet fiery ginger beer instead of lemonade.

Both are delish!!!
