MemberYes Gina! I am so happy to be on the other side of the fence now :) :) :)
I'm missing a few ingredient and haven't had the chance of trying your recipe Erin, but I will for sure this week!
In the mean time... Look what I found on another blog somewhere in blogland... I made this yesterday as we were having friends over for dinner. They never guessed it was so healthy ;)
Sorry Erin, you may have to wait 8 weeks, but it's going to be sooooo worth it :)

Blueberry Cheesecake Cottage Cheese Pudding Recipe
**********
1/2 c. lowfat cottage cheese* (about 15 grams protein)
1 serving low carb vanilla whey powder (about 20 grams protein)
1/2 c. blueberries (fresh, frozen or thawed - see below)
1 oz. lowfat cream cheese
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (depending on your protein powder)
Splenda or stevia to taste
1- Blend the cottage cheese and cream cheese in a food processor until all the lumps are gone.
2- Add whey powder, sweetener and vanilla to process.
3- Add your blueberries (less a few for garnish) - I like to add them frozen; it thickens the pudding and makes it taste like blueberry cheesecake ice cream.
(If you wanted to get crazy, stir in a few more small chunks of cream cheese and whole blueberries, plus a few berries for garnish. Although it may be begging for sugar free whipped cream, it's also fantastic by itself).

wow, sounds delicious! Never thought of adding the cream cheese!! That sounds delicious and definitely like a cheesecake modification. May even want to try that one with the non fat cool whip, that would be amazing too! Pics please??? For your guests to not know it was healthy, that is a winner! :)

That looks delicious Claudine and that is so funny you posted this because I was thinking of having salmon tonight, similar recipe but here are my modifications...
Ingredients:
REMOVE WHITE WINE, AND REPLACE HONEY WITH 2 TBSP SUGAR FREE SYRUP AND NO SALT...
I bake mine the same but add glaze once cooked and then turn on broiler for a few minutes to caramelize the syrup/balsamic glaze! :) to die for!!!
I replace my vino white for red and enjoy with my salmon meal! :)
Funny, on the same page today... must be craving those fats! :)

MemberI HIGHLY recommend Erin's Spicy Couscous Summer Salad with Shrimp. I tried it this weekend and it was AMAZING!!! I plan on making it this week.
Erin was a total sweetie and baked me some of her Mug Cake. OMG it was GOOD! It honestly tasted like a real cake, super moist!
Now if you could only find a recipe that is SUPER healthy and tastes just like peanut butter cheesecake toped with carmel...If anyone can do it, I know Erin can!
