Turnip Fries

Craving French fries? Want a healthier version? Have you tried using Turnips instead of Potatoes!?

Purchase 1-2 turnips at the grocery store, be very careful that you are getting the right veggie. Some times stores list Rutabaga's as turnips, and these are much higher in carbs! The correct item to buy should be white fading to a purple color on the end.

Wash the turnip, then slice it in french fry shapes.
Lay on a cookie sheet sprayed with Pam or drizzled with an oil of your choice. Sprinkle with Salt/garlic salt.
Cook at 350 degrees for approx 20-30 minutes depending on what texture you enjoy. Can also be cooked in a frying pan on the stove top.

Gordita shells or Soft pizza Crust

This is my adaption of the very popular Cauliflower pizza crust. I have found that I end up folding it over like a taco, so I've been using it as more of a gordita style taco shell.

1 cup shredded or grated Cauliflower

1/4 cup egg beaters

1/4 cup low fat cheese of your choice

mix well, add spices if you desire.
Bake at 350 til you reach desired stiffness....
I don't have an oven, so I cook this in my Redi Set Express, I cook it for 10 minutes then flip and do another 10 minutes.
Great to make ahead and freeze!

Climb that Mountain!

---

When a mountain seems to big to climb, start climbing anyways. Take it one small step at a time and before you know it, you'll be on the other side of the mountain! Today I am on that other side! I have officially lost 90 pounds! I didn't think I'd make it so far, but going one step at a time, and being persistent I have come to the other side of the mountain and will keep moving downward, til I reach the bottom of the mountain. You can do it too!


When I realized I was 310 pounds, I was distraught at that though of having to lose over 100 pounds, I kept thinking "even if I lose 100 pounds I'll still be fat, so what's the point? That's too much work!" When I started having trouble breathing while laying, I decided it didn't matter how much work it was, I had to do it! Here I am now, 220. Still "fat", still have a ways to go, but I can breath! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I'm a happy person! Thank you MF!
