Hummus
* 1 can garbanzo beans drained,save juice
* 3 teaspoons lemon juice
* 3 cloves garlic peeled (adjust to taste)
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon pepper
* pepper sauce, as desired
* If desired, add some olive oil, veggie broth, Apple cider or Red Wine Vinegars
Add all ingredients to food processor, process until smooth, add reserved juice to attain a spreadable texture. Adjust seasonings.
** For added flavors, roast the garlic, then add; add sesame or flax seeds/oils; chopped sundried tomatoes; roasted red peppers; chopped olives; etc etc etc
Hummus is great as a dip for veggies, as a sandwich spread on a meat or veggie only sandwich or with crackers.

Tuna Stuffed Eggs
4 Hard boiled eggs, cooled, sliced in half, yolks removed -- reserve yolk from 2 eggs
Filling:
1 can Tuna, drained
Minced onion & celery
2 teaspoons relish
2 tablespoons FF mayo
1/4 teaspoon Lemon Pepper Seasoning
Black Pepper & Hot Sauce to taste
Mix yolks & filling ingredients together & stuff into egg white halves.
** Just thought -- instead of the mayo, you could use Cottage Cheese or FF Sour Cream or a combo of either/or/all three

This recipe looks really weird - and I was totally skeptical. Especially when I got it all mixed together. It looks lumpy and soupy, like I added too much water. When they came out of the over, I was surprised. They looked kind of weird (shiny, like popovers), but they tasted good:
Cinnamon Flaxmeal Muffins
12 small or 6 large. (nutritional facts are for 12 servings)
3/4 cup vanilla whey protein
1/4 cup flax meal
1/4 - 1/2 cup Splenda
3 eggs
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup water
2 tsp cinnamon or more if you're like me.
Preheat oven to 400. Spray your tin with Pam. Mix all ingredients together and pour into the muffin tin. Bake for 15 minutes. (Mine baked up in 13)

Cheesecake
Crust - Wheat bran soaked in a bit more than 1/3 cup of water just to get it to sort of chunk up (could use egg, could mash up some all-bran extra fiber cereal or buy a fatfree crust of your own)
Teaspoon (or more) splenda
Filling -
8 oz. fatfree creamcheese
8 oz. fatfree/low fat (1%) cottage cheese - whichever you prefer
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 T splenda (more optional depending on sweet tooth)
Scoop of vanilla egg protein or any other protein you wish to add (I used egg to bake)
Puree cottage cheese in blender
Soften creamcheese, add to cottage cheese
Add egg and vanilla extract + Splenda + Protein powder and blend on high till creamed
Press crust parts onto bottom of baking pan
Pour mixture onto crust
Preheat oven at 350
Bake for 30 - 45 mins or until toothpick comes out clean
Optional - add fruit on top, nuts, raisins, oatmeal, blend in peanut butter, or blend anything you damn well please into it
Optional - Use two 8 oz. packs of cream cheese instead of 1 and cut out the cottage cheese. Up the protein powder to 2 scoops if preferred.
Turns out kinda moist with the wheat bran crust, so you might wanna experiment with your own crust if you're bothered by the moisture. Remember to cool before serving (the cottage cheese leaves the center mushy) or serve mushy if desired. Enjoy!

Try baking the crust for 5-10 mins by itself before adding the filling.... should help to harden it up.....
