Oh my gosh! It seems that I've tried so many recipes in the past year but a few of my "successes" that come to mind include: Wonder Waffles (absolute nirvana!); Orange/Strawberry/Banana shake (using SF orange-flavored Citrucel); Zucchini Alfredo; caulitators; brownies; and Faux Potato Salad (tastes so close to the real thing to me - however, my sis-in-law says she can STILL taste the cauliflower (which she can't stand anyway)). I haven't tried making any LC bread yet - maybe sometime in the future.
Busts: Atkins Pancakes (from the recipe on the bake mix container - eyoo!); most LC hot cereals (too slimy); LC Zucchini bread - ok, this last failure was MY fault - I forgot that my pumpkin seeds were not only salted but still in the shell - I added the salt called for in the recipe and it turned out WAY too salty and I felt like I was eating wood pulp from the shells not getting ground fine enough (I know, fiber is a GOOD thing, but not when you feel like you're just chewing on wood!) I plan on retrying the last one again, tho.
As for the pre-boxed LC products, I haven't tried any yet 'cuz the cost is just way too prohibitive for my budget! IMHO, I can get so much more in the way of fresh veggies, etc., instead of maybe a few muffins! Maybe once my last two kids are out on their own then I'll be able to afford such luxuries (both teenage boys w/ hollow legs!)
