Hi! I am just now on P2 and have been reading all your emails for

the past few weeks. Thank you for being so helpful! I had a

question....I use Stevia for sweetening tea. What is the general

consensus on this?

As far as my favorite menu, I just made the chocolate pb bars and

they are yummy.

This is my favorite so far, it's for P1 I believe:

Noodle-less Lasagna - P1

1 lb. ground beef

1 c. low-carb spaghetti sauce

1 (4 oz.) can sliced mushrooms

1 c. ricotta cheese

1 egg, beaten

1 1/2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 T. Italian Seasoning

20-25 slices pepperoni

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Brown ground beef in pan, drain fat off.

Add spaghetti sauce and mushrooms and simmer 10 minutes.

In a small bowl, mix the ricotta, egg 1/4 c. mozzarella, and Italian

seasoning. Beat well with fork.

Grease 8x8-inch glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Spread beef mixture in the bottom of the dish. Spread the ricotta

mixture on top of the beef mixture.

Lay half the pepperoni pieces on the ricotta mixture.

Put the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese over the pepperoni

slices, and lay the remaining pepperoni on top of the cheese. Bake

until bubbly, about 20 minutes.

Recipe Note: Makes 4 servings. 9 grams of carbohydrates per serving.

To

substitute the spaghetti sauce, use 15 oz. tomato sauce and season

yourself. Splenda will make it a little sweeter.

I make an 8x8 pan, divide into 4 servings and freeze in separate

containers for an easy tasty microwavable lunch.

TY in advance for all your responses.

I am a Stevia user. I think it tastes much better than the artificial

sweeteners. In the original SBD book it is mentioned as something to

use. However, since it is not FDA approved as a food additive, South

Beach since took it off their approved list. Now, keep in mind, Stevia

IS FDA approved as a dietary supplement.

Anyway, I've been using it regularly for 2-1/2 years now.
