Anyone have some low fat, sugar, carb food swaps?
A few of my favs include, green beans in the convection oven toasted swaps for French fries (sprinkle with low fat parm cheese. Mashed potatoes, swap with cauliflower and parsnips, Pasta swap for spaghetti squash or zucchini.

I have one:
Cut an avocado in half and remove the pit. Take a spoon and make the crater in the middle a little bit bigger. Put an egg in the middle, top with cayenne or any slice you would like and since cheese and bake on 180 until the egg is cooked to the constancy you like.

Sorry, I actually was referring to either of them, not ALL of them combined.

The avocado and egg are good.
Also have lots of diabetic patients so I make a switch cup for cup with Splenda. This way they can enjoy sugar free goodies.

reenie...if you are into sugar substitues splenda has some really great recipes on their site
you mentioned cauliflower...there is a great way to make it baked...my italian grandmother used to fry hers in a tempura like batter which was delicious...but this is a much healthier version and just as tasty
( not exactly carb free but its so yummy you won't care lol )
preheat oven to 400 degrees
clean & dry a head of cauliflower and break or cut into 2 inch size florets
place in a large mixing bowl
cover with enough olive oil to coat
use about 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs ( i use 1/4 panko and 1/4 italian flavored crumbs )
1/2 cup grated parmesean or romano blend cheese
mix last two ingredients together and toss over the oil coated cauliflower. arrange
pieces on a large baking sheet. and bake for about 30 - 40 min according to your oven.
turning over midway during baking. you want the pieces to be well browned. serve
immediately.
buon appetito!
