If you've had the idiot tube on even for a short while the last say year or so, you've probably caught that commerical where they ask, "Who's had their hands in the cookie jar", and it's all about these diet cookies that are used as meal supplements. I would be really interested in finding a recipie for something like this that I can use.
I'm over weight. I know it. Alot had to do with not working while taking care of my mother before cancer took her. Then about two months after she passed away, and I started it was starting to settle in that she was gone I'd become very depressed. I didn't do drugs or drink alot of booze. Instead I ate, and ate, and ate....
Now I'm big, even if I was my proper wieght. I'm right at 6' tall. Heavy boned, just like my grandfather was, although he was never fat. I was always a bit husky, with abit of a gut. But as I said, not working combined with severe depression, I went from 250lbs to 355lbs! Because of my situation financail and other wise, I have managed to drop back down to 315lbs. No where's near ideal. But a good start.
There's more to this then just me wanting to loose weight. Back in the early '90's. I bough my mother one of those new fancy electric bread makers. She loved that thing. I was ambivlent. The bread she made was good, if you liked buttered bread with soup, chilli, stew. But it was too light to make a sandwich with. If you tried putting anything more then just butter on it, it'd fall apart in your hand.
In order to make enough money for a planned relocation I'm selling mom's bread maker. But I'm stuck with nearly 50lbs of flour in our chest freezer. Because we also recieved food from local food banks, seems like every bag had three things it them... peantut butter, grape jelly and....oatmeal. I actually like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and it don't bother me eating them nearly daily. But I have no clue what to do with all this oatmeal either. But doing some preliminary googling on meal supplement cookie recipies they do often use oatmeal in the recpies.
My biggest fear is even with what recipes I've seen, they may or may not contain all that's nessary in order to stay healthy.
Yeah, I know I could make just regular plain old oatmeal cookies with the ingredients I've mentioned. Since we also bought our molasses in bulk I can make as much brown sugar as I want. Light or dark.
I'm just curious if anyone has tried to make anything simlar or not?
Thanks,
Jax

No flour or sugar. Bring some cut up veggies for fiber and you are good to go. Some cheese for fat. All things that can go a day without refrigeration and are quick to grab and eat. And truly a complete meal. Yummy, too.
