3 good low diet Recipes

roll bob evans original flavor breakfast sausage (this is only available in the midwest of the us, but use whatever is your favorite, most lean, breakfast sausage), onion, diced finely, fresh sliced mushrooms (don tsp use canned), optional, flour, butter (the real thing - no margarine allowed in biscuits and gravy), half-and-half...the richness of the gravy is in the cream iness you get with the heavier fat milk products, so i definitely prefer half-and-half or even heavy cream...you re gonna blow the calories anyhow, so why not use the best stuff ! ), a good rich beef or chicken base (yes, you can use either 1 - you will find base in with the bouillon cubes), salt and pepper to your taste, shakes of garlic salt or powder, to your taste

dry stuff ., whole wheat flour. hold out about 3 tbsp to adjust batter., wheat or oat bran., graham cracker & enough instant oats to make 1/2 cup when ground fine., salt ., cinnamon. > feel free to adjust to taste., nutmeg. > feel free to adjust to taste., baking powder ., baking soda ., milk , soured with the juice of 1 sour orange. or 2 tbsp lemon juice instead of the sour orange juice. but sour orange is much better tasting in this recipe, wet stuff, & all the other stuff that gets mixed with the wet stuff., sour cream ., apple sauce ., eggs ., butter ., dark brown sugar ., vanilla ., splenda. > more if you like them sweeter! splenda is the only artificial sweetener that will work here. the other stuff won tsp stand up to the heat. the other factor is; splenda is mostly maltodextrin, which is hygroscopic. it keeps the muffins moist and provides the texture that a cup of sugar would normally take care of., zest of the sour orange . or 1/2 a lemon, if you re using lemon instead of sour orange. but if you re not using sour orange, you are really missing out on flavor., diced apples .
