DH accidentally picked up a carton of fat-free lactose-free milk when
I usually drink 2%... since it's not 'regular' milk it's way too expensive to waste, but I haven't found anything to use it on that's remotely edible. It even made chocolate milk taste like it was made with water! Are there any recipes that will successfully disguise its blue watery blandness or should I just toss it out? |

Add cream to it, one glass at a time and stir. --Bryan |

You can certainly return it, no questions asked. I use fat-free milk for breakfast cereal. I've never had the lactose-free. Maybe use some for the milk portion of mashed potatoes? If that's not breaking a food law. ![]() Andy |

I wonder how it would do in pancakes or waffles. Maybe use it in a smoothie with lots of sweet fruit and vanilla yogurt. Tara |

I used some of it in oatmeal and that was okay - I added half a stick of butter instead of a teaspoon... I just looked at the carton and a)there's only half of it left, and b)it's past the expiry date, so I think I'll just toss the rest out. I was just wondering if there were any recipes that would be really great with skim milk (I guess not!) |

Your taste buds are certainly different from mine; that's all I drink and usually all I cook with (unless it's a recipe that demands cream). I have no problems whatsoever. I love the taste (or lack of). I can't stand the cloying cream taste of even 2% milk. Chocolate milk with skim milk is the best! ;-) OTOH, I've never had the lactose-intolerant stuff; maybe it's different from regular skim. N. |

I was raised on skim milk and to drink anything else is like drinking pure cream. I use it for everything, although when fixing a special dinner with mashed potatoes or scalloped potatoes..a cream sauce or something, I will buy a small carton of whole milk to use in those occasional recipes. |

Eating calories makes people fat. Fat suppresses appetite. High GI carbs make people ravenously hungry a few hours later. Dry baked potato is about as bad as anything could possibly be, and the obese people out there are the ones who stuff themselves full of the stuff in the aisles of the supermarket, not the stuff on the perimeter (produce*, meat, dairy). Skim milk is like Kool-Aid with a teaspoon of protein powder added. *Starchy stuff like white potatoes excepted N. --Bryan |

Low carb isn't a fad diet. I DO know that eating fat isn't good for anyone's arteries or heart health, and I'll never be convinced that fat intake doesn't contribute to obesity. Depends on the variety of fat. If one cuts carbs down to under 200 calories a day, and ups consumption of GOOD fats, those being a certain amount of Omega 3s, a lot of monounsaturates like olive and peanut oils, some of the neutral saturated fats like cocoa butter, even if you allow yourself things like chicken skin, and yes, some less healthy butterfat, you will cut your plasma triglycerides dramatically. You will also not harm your HDL/LDL ratio. The ketogenic diet is not new, it's not even only 35-40 years old. It was not, as many believe, invented by Dr. Atkins. "The ketogenic diet is a high fat, adequate protein, low carbohydrate diet designed to mimic many of the biochemical changes associated with prolonged starvation. First developed in the early 1900s, and successfully used for the treatment of seizures in children during the 20s and 30s...The ketogenic diet is not a 'fad' or a 'quack diet'..." source-- http://www.epilepsy.org.uk/info/ketogenic.html In fact, one of the (potentially undesirable) side effects (not mentioned in the above website) is weight loss. Bodybuilders use a technique called "cyclic ketogenic" to get rid of body fat so you can see their muscle definition. N. --Bryan |
