Anyone ever used this for baking? I found it on bariatriceating.com and want to order it, but before doing so, thought I'd get some opinions on it. I guess Splenda's not that good to bake dried desserts with (cakes, rolls, etc) so they recommend this instead.

A great vegetarian dish by itself…or add some ham, turkey, even beef to it and kick up the protein even more. This thickens as it sets for a day or so and is hearty for a quick lunch. Make up a pot of fragrant Basmati rice to ladle it over for your family and there’s your complete meal!

Don’t be afraid of lentils. They are pretty hard to mess up…just let them simmer until they are soft. If the liquid starts to get low, add some more broth. You can use red, yellow, beluga or the regular old lentils you find everywhere.

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups onion, chopped
1 cup carrots, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
1/2 cup yellow bell pepper, chopped

But some of the ingredients were not so friendly to my pouch, too much fat between the sausage, the cream and the sour cream. So....I spent the day mucking with the recipe and here is what I came up with.

Pumpkin Sausage Soup


Thyme, Dried - 1 tsp, leaves (1.0 g)


Onions - 1 cup, finely chopped (160g)


Libby's Pumpkin - 1 cup(122)g


Land O Lakes Fat Free Half and Half - 1/2 Cup


Red Pepper Flakes - 1 tsp


Dried Sage - 2 Tsp.


Swanson Cooking Stock Chicken - 1 cup

Water - 1 1/2 cups


Jimmy Dean Reduced Fat Pork Sausage Jimmy Dean Reduced Fat Pork Sausage 4oz

Brown the sausage, add the onions, thyme, red pepper flakes and dried sage. Sautee until the onions are soft. Add the chicken stock, water and pumpkin puree. Heat through. Add the fat free half and half simmer for about 15 mins. You can add salt and black pepper to taste.
