Scalloped potatoes anyone?

Here is a dish that is on the table at many a festive occasion- minus the carbs! They are ideal examples of the low carb recipes you should be looking for.

5 thin sliced potatoes
1 cup fat free amul cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup skim evaporated milk
1 cup hot water
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Combine the evaporated milk, hot water, and the flour in a saucepan and cook over a low heat. Add salt and pepper and stir constantly until the sauce thickens.

Peel the potatoes, slice them, and boil until tender.

First place a layer of potatoes at the bottom of a 2 quart baking dish, then sprinkle a layer of the grated cheese, then pour a layer of the white sauce. Continue this way until all ingredients have been used. Bake at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes.

Ahh...Stuffing sans the carbs

1 chopped onion
1/2 cup water
1/2 pound sliced mushrooms
2 thinly sliced celery stalks
4 cups bread, cubed
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon sage
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup water or vegetable stock, very hot

Add the onion and half the water together in a large skillet and cook for 5 minutes.

Add the celery and the mushrooms and cook over a medium heat until the mushrooms start to brown.

Mix in the bread and all spices and continue to cook on a lowered heat for 3 minutes.

Stir in the remaining water little by little until your dressing is the moistness you like.

Spread this on a greased baking dish, cover, and bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.
