Re: [CnD] looking for ideas for my supper tonight
Two thinly cut pieces, cubed, isn't going to hurt you. Fry the two pieces of spam, then cube them and mix them in with your Mac 'N Cheese. Spam can also go with rice, in sandwiches, or as a garnish for Ramen. Again, no more than two pieces at a stretch. If you're doing the rice thing, you can fry it, or top with pineapple slices and bake at 350 for I think 30 mins. Fry it, then stir fry with veggies and cooked Ramen noodles, season with a few pinches of the Ramen packet. (I like the chop suey mix--cabbage and bean sprouts and carrots, that they carry in the produce section.) My favorite is fried, cubed, and mixed with mushrooms and cheese in an omelet--2 eggs. Of course, with rice. White rice. Haven't quite made the transition to healthy. Can you tell? Whatever you do, cook the thing. Don't eat it straight out of the can. Ick. Tried it that way as a kid, just for kicks. ICK!!! Spam ... a staple in HI, especially in Asian households. *lol; I'm from there, and am Filipino, so can, and often do, make fun of myself and my neighbors* More Later, Dani More Later, Dani On 8/18/17, Jamie Prater via Cookinginthedarkwrote: > Hi, yes, it would be better to do ham, but I got this in a food pantry box > and need to use it.

Re: [CnD] looking for ideas for my supper tonight
I'd go for the spam myself maybe once a month. Fat is where flavor lives and anyone who has eaten an almond cookie made with lard knows what I'm talking about here. Cutting out fat in diets actually helps increase weight not decrease weight. New F.D.A. guidelines for food labeling effective as of 2018 support this finding too. Egg beaters hopefully will be discontinued since it's possible for people to eat eggs seven days a week and no they don't take cholesterol damage from them either. Guidelines for sugar are changing too. Added sugar should be no more than 10% of calories consumed in a day but sugars already in fruits and the like aren't counted against this 10% limit as they are now. Finally, calories are in process of going away since calorie counting even for dieters does not work. The diet industry has a 3% success rate for people and the success rate is figured this way. A person goes on a diet say and looses weight. The test is what is their weight five years after that diet. Only 3% of the consumers manage to have the same or lower weight they lost in the diet five years ago. If computers had a 97% failure rate, we wouldn't be communicating on this internet.

Re: [CnD] Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Stew
What about some of the Mrs. Dash seasonings? They have quite a variety and you can probably get no salt or low sodium in the Mrs Dash brand. I have what I call a beef bean chilli recipe and I used to use a packet of tacco seasoning in it. I need to watch my sodium, so even though I had been getting reduced sodium in other brands, I found a Mrs Dash tacco seasoning that has no salt and it is really very good. The lack of sodium does not take away from my recipe at all. Good luck.

Re: [CnD] Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Stew
The big problem with broth in this recipe is the fluid level. To get it to work you'd want to simmer it down to far less liquid, otherwise the result would be a lot more soupy. You could work with it by replacing the bullion with broth and the canned soup with soup mix powder, but it might require some fiddling. Another option would be to get bullion from a natural grocer like Whole Foods. Without it the flavor is probably going to be a bit bland. The only other option I can think of is to run some canned or cooked chicken through a food processor to turn it into a paste. You might want to experiment with adding some poultry seasoning to it as well. -Original Message- From: Deborah Barnes via Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] Sent: Friday, August 18, 2017 8:07 AM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Deborah BarnesSubject: Re: [CnD] Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Stew My husband and I were on a diet once.
