Tupi, that does make sense, since we use soda crackers when we aren't feeling well!

But, digestive biscuits are more like graham crackers. They're thick, halfway between crunchy and soft and semi-sweet. Although, they do make them chocolate coated too.

The companies that have them here are Carr's and Peek Freens. They're "quite nice."

I love oatmeat and apples but don't have a really good receipe for really low fat... most call for some oil or butter.
Anyone???

I came up with this the other day when there was nothing very appealing to eat for dinner. It's rather good if I do say so! Even my kids ate it including the picky eater! I'm sure there is alot you can add to it, so go for it!

About 2 pounds of cooked chicken cut into bite sized pieces
About 8 ounces of cooked pasta (I used bow tie)
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
1/4 water
1/4 sour cream
onions, and other veggies (optional)
season to taste
1-1 1/2 cup of your favorite cheese shredded

1. Cook your choice of pasta according to package, drain and set aside
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
3. In about a 9x13 baking dish combine cooked chicken, cooked pasta, soups, water, sour cream, seasonings, veggies and mix together. Top with cheese and bake for about 20-30 minutes until cheese is melted and dish is bubbling.

Thanks for posting your recipes! I can never really keep up with the recipes during chat with the conversations flying, but I know when one sounds good and I wish I had it. I definitely intend to try the Cornbread Taco Pizza *soon,* and will try the Chicken and Rice when I get the ingredients together (although I'll pretend I didn't see the brocolli - oops! <g>). Tthanks again!

(((((Wolfsong))))) Thanks from me, too, for the Taco Cornbread Pizza. Man, what a combo!

Hi (((((biker))))) :-)

Hey there (((((ChefMoon))))) and (((((ChefShadow)))))

Ok, I experimented this last week to come up with an no added butter, fat, oil one. Only what is in the bread.
{{{{ Diet People }}}}

Anti's Apple Crisp
lol.

3 ore-ida apples
1 granny smith apple
6 tablespoons loosely<BR> packed brown sugar.
1 teaspoon cinnamon, split
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 slices of any whole grain bread, have tried rye and oatmeal.
1/8 cup of regular or
quick oats
1 tablespoon of water
And a sprinkle of salt.

First wash apples cause you will use some apple peeling in topping.
Peel and leave some of the apple on the peeling, slice apples, put into an 8 inch no-stick baking pan and add the 1 tablespoon of water.
and place in oven for 15 minutes at 375? F.

While apples are softening in oven: place 2 pieces of whole grain bread in food processor with loosely packed 1 cup of apple peel
skin and 4 of the 6 tablespoon of brown sugar. Add the oats.
Also 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle of salt. Hit the high speed button 6 to 12 times. Depends on type of food processor. The end result you want for your topping is large crumbly and optionally you can add a some walnuts. We don't.

Pull apples out of oven and stir into them the rest of brown sugar and to taste the rest of the cinnamon. Put topping on and spread to edges and pop back into the oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Until brown and crisp.. tada!
Serves 4.

Thanks guys at least someone takes notice of my cooking I guess it must just fly out of the freezer to the table already prepared. All tho I must say the my three year old does make it a point to tell me thank you for dinner everynight (at least 5 times while shes eating) Well here is another recipe I just found that sounds really good kinda like Beef Stronganoff.

BEEF AND BISCUITS CASSEROLE

1 pound ground beef
1 small onion chopped
6 tablespoons low-fat sour cream
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 (8oz) can biscuits

Combine ground beef, onion and 3 tablesspoons sour cream in a casserole. Mix well
Bake in a preheated 450 oven for 10 min. Drain well
Combine soup and remaining sour cream in a medium bowl. Mix well.
Pour soup mixture over beef. Mix well.
Place biscuits evenly on top
Lower oven temp to 350. Bake 20 minutes or until biscuits are browned
Serves 6 (Supposedly I never get as many servings out of a recipe as they say it makes. We must be big eaters.)

/me looks at my hips I really need to cut back those servings

[tupi]

I found "digestive biscuits"! Carr's makes them and Publix sells them and they're very good. Actually, I'd had them before but didn't know what they were.

Wolfie, love that taco pizza recipe.

I made chili last week and had some left over cornbread, too. So, on the premise of your recipe I made a pizza out of it by slicing the cornbread into thin slices and putting it on foil to make a "crust" for the leftover chili pizza. I spooned the chili over it just to the edges. Covered the entire mass with cheddar cheese and baked 15 minutes at 400. It was very good, similar to chili pie.
