Well... since Roony seems to have us all craving pumpkin...

On that note, I came up with a very easy delicious concoction today. I used Ready-to-drink Muscle Milk in Vanilla Cream flavor & mixed it up with canned pure pumpkin to make "pumpkin pudding" and it was heaven!! I didn't have to use Splenda or pumpkin pie spice. I assume you can add egg whites to this too if you want more protein. I am still experimenting with proportions, but am guessing 1/3 cup musle milk to about 3/4 cup pumpkin will have a good texture. YUMMY!

I would use the pastuerized ones in the carton tho to avoid possible food poisoning.....

Hmmmmm.....going to have to buy me some Muscle Milk methinks....

Pollo Asada
(Carne Asada-style seasoned chicken)

**Roony got this alot from Trader Joe's, so I checked it out.....Decided it was too expensive, so I wrote down the ingredients & made it at home....

2 Chicken Breasts, sliced in half
Seasonings: Salt, Pepper, Dried Cilantro, Soy Sauce, Paprika, Garlic Powder, Lime Juice (I used bottled), Ground Cumin, Mrs. Dash Chipotle Flavor, Mrs. Dash Extra Spicy Flavor
(all seasonings were added by eye, basically a few dashes of everything)

Place chicken in a plastic container, add all ingredients & allow to marinate for about 2 hours. Grill until done & enjoy!!

**Don't know if it's close to TJs version, but it tasted AWESOME!!

I've done something similiar with pumpkin, vanilla protein, and egg whites then just a touch of milk and baked it into a "pudding" I'll have to do some searching around for the exact recipe though but yours sounds delicious as well Roony

I LOVE GREEN BEANS. If you take a piece or two of bacon or sliced smoked sausage... It should be a little greasy, so you don't have to use any other oil. Fry it up, remove all the excess grease, add chopped onion, whatever seasoning and/or garlic and/or hot sauce that you want, and the green beans. You could add a tsp or two of margarine if you need it.... Stir well and often to prevent scortching. Simmer over low heat till beans are extremely tender (approximately 45 minutes if you are using fresh - you could steam or microwave first and then dump them into a frying pan if you wanted to).

If you want to eat 'em cold, my mom makes them with 2 or so cups water, 3/4 cup vinegar & a dash sugar or splenda with
1 tablespoon crushed mustard seeds
lotsa garlic - 4 cloves ?? thinly sliced
bay leaves - 2 or 3
dash salt and tabasco pepper sauce
1 pound trimmed green beans

In a saucepan, stir together the water, vinegar, sugar, mustard seeds, garlic, bay leaves, salt and Tabasco sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.

Add the beans. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, until tender-crisp. Then dump the beans in a shallow dish and cover them completely with the vinegar mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Serve cold.

Add extra bacon if BiggT is around or Emeril.....or you like bacon!!
