This one i tried yesterday after juicing the carrot... i gathered the pulp i got from my juicer.. you know my juicer extracts more pulp it squeezes thoroughly.. so i have to think of a way i can use the pulp, its a good fiber anyway.. Tried this at home: Carrot pulp burgers 1 cup shredded carrots optional it can be all juice pulp) 1/2 cup of carrot pulp 2 1/2 cups crushed cornflakes 2 eggs, beaten 1/4 cup finely chopped celery 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion salt and pepper to taste 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil In a bowl, combine all these ingredients . carrot pulp, cornflakes, eggs, celery, onion, salt, & pepper; mix and form into patties. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat; cook patties for 3 minutes on each side or until browned serve with bans or any bread! kids would love it!:)

My first thought was right there with ideefixe - make them smaller - mini-muffins, so that's what I did. These were wonderful little muffins after I "messed" with the recipe a bit. Here's how I lowered the fat, carbs/sugars, and increased fiber. 1 c. whole wheat flour (spelt would also be a good choice) 3/4 c. Hi-Maize Resistant Starch* 1/4 c. flaxmeal 1/4 c. agave nectar** 2-1/2 t. baking powder 1 t. cinnamon 1/2 t. salt 1 c. milk 2 T. instant coffee granules 2 T. coconut oil (or butter) 1 egg 1 t. vanilla 1/4-1/2 c. mini chocolate chips (I used 1/4-c.) Bake: 350°F oven 11-13-minutes. Yield: 24 mini-muffins. Sprinkle the top with a tiny bit of cinnamon sugar after you pan the batter, OR, dust with powdered sugar after they are baked. This is a "sweet trick" when you lower the sugar in foods. That small amount of sugar hitting your tongue, as well as the sweetness in the chocolate chips, will make them seem sweeter than the amount in them would indicate. I used a 1/4 c. flaxmeal for increased fiber and as a fat replacer. I also used coconut oil. One benefit of coconut oil is that you can generally reduce the amount of fat in a recipe by 25% just switching to coconut oil. I use several brands, but used LouAna brand for the recipe. LouAna doesn't have any coconut flavor. I get it at Wal-Mart and now I can get it at our Kroger-affiliated store, Dillons. I understand Kroger now carries it as well. You'll find it in the shortening/vegetable oil isle. If you aren't familiar with Hi-Maize Resistant Starch, here is some information from Honeyville Grain. I add it to all my baked goods as a replacement for a portion of the flour, in my homemade pudding mix, breakfast smoothie..... *Hi-Maize Resistant Starch (Honeyville Grain - 5#/$16.99 - S/H is $4.49 for your entire order and I generally order several things at a time from them. King Arthur Flour - 3#/$9.95 and 12-oz./$5.95 plus S/H. Information about Hi-Maize from Honeyville Grain: Just 15 grams of Hi-maize (about 1 heaping tablespoon) contains 9 grams of total dietary fiber, which is more than the fiber in 1/3 cup of high bran cereal and twice as much as the fiber contained in 1 cup of oatmeal. 1. Hi-maize is lower in calories than the flour it replaces. Hi-maize delivers between 2-l kilocalories/gram while flour delivers 4 kilocalories/gram. Hi-maize also helps your body burn more fat and may lead to lower fat accumulation. 2. Hi-maize helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels in healthy individuals because Hi-maize increases insulin sensitivity in healthy people. 3. Hi-maize helps balance your energy in the hours following a meal. It has a lower impact in blood sugar and blood insulin than the flour it replaces. For individuals following a "carbohydrate-control" diet, it lowers the "net" or digestible carbohydrates in foods. 4. Hi-maize promotes digestive health. The fiber in Hi-maize is fermented within the large intestine and encourages the growth of friendly bacteria (a "prebiotic" fiber). It reduces harmful compounds such as ammonia, while producing beneficial compounds such as short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, the preferred fuel for colon cells. Hi-maize is ideal for use in a gluten-free diet. 5. Hi-maize is well tolerated. It is slowly fermented and does not produce the uncomfortable digestive side effects sometimes found with fiber. Hi-Maize nutrition per 28g: 40 calories 0 fat 0 cholesterol 15mg sodium 15g carbohydrates 15g dietary fiber 0 sugars 0 protein **Agave Nectar - a natural, honey-like sweetener that is one of the lowest foods on the Glycemic Index of Foods. It doesn't raise blood sugar, BUT, it acts like sugar in baking, contributes to fermentation in yeast breads, browns, unlike chemical sweeteners. I generally use 1/2-3/4 c. agave nectar for each 1 c. sugar. -Grainlady

I can't seem to start my own post and I have a recipe I wanted to share... (I can hit preview and nothing comes up after that.)

Ever since I was quite young, if we were getting ice cream cones I would choose mint chocolate chip. That was over fifty years ago and I still do :-) If they don't have mint then I generally get dark chocolate, though from time to time I ty something different. But I always come back to my old favourites. Icecream I get for home is a premium brand we like, since we don't eat a lot. If I'm planning to serve it with something, like fruit or pie, I get vanilla. If I'm getting a flavour, while I prefer their dark chocolate with cherry sauce swirls, DH isn't so fond of it so I more often get coffee with chocolate covered almonds and orange sauce swirls. The cat prefers vanilla :-)
