'Low-Fat' and all that jazz / was REC: Anasazi-Tofu Enchiladas

[Guest guest]

Hey there, this looks great!

 

BUT please be careful of all that cheese for a

slimming list - and especially a slimming list that is

for *low-fat* recipes, okay? Perhaps a couple of cups

of cheese doesn't look like much to you, but it does

to me :=( And there's fat and there's fat - saturated

fats are not just, er, fattening but also high in

cholesterol and all that.

 

So, I'll take this opportunity to remind ALL members:

We're after low-fat recipes here - except of course

allowing for the occasional special event splurge! LOL

Thanks.

 

Best,

 

Pat ;=)

Well, you can certainly cut down the cheese or use low fat cheese. There isn't

really any other fat in the dish.

 

I am fully aware of good fats and bad fats and trans fats.

 

I just figured that sharing a good recipe was nice and folks can adjust the

cheese to their taste.

 

I agree that 2 cups of cheese is a lot and I wouldn't use that much.

I think that's what most people on this list would do if they saw a recipe like

this posted somewhere ;=)

No. Just a little in the tofu (around 5 or 6 g depending on how firm a tofu you

use) and the tortillas (which run around 1 g or less per piece, depending

again on which brand you buy). Negligible really, although it all adds up.

But of course! That's just one of those Motherhood statements people like me

have to make from time to time, cuz if I don't say it someone will be berating

me off list for not making it clear :=(

It is - thanks so very much again!!!

Ahah! 'The truth will out!' LOL But hey, another time - and I'm speaking here to

everyone, not just to dear Candace who will think I'm picking on her

otherwise! ;=( - rather than giving us the recipe you worked from *before* you

changed it to suit your taste, why not this: give the *origin* of the recipe,

cuz

that's polite and correct and all that, but note that it has been adapted from

that. And *then* tell us how YOU make it for a low-fat diet. See? Works!

 

I still think it looks yummy! ;=)

 

Best love,
