I LOVE those! Do you make yours with olive oil? That and Kosher salt is how I've made it' date=' but I'd love to know if you can forget the oil. Healthier.[/quote']

I've tried without oil and its like a dry roast and salt won't stick. My husband liked it with a little Johnny's seasoning or a little ranch packet flavoring. Also you can get "a hint of lime" powder and its great! Ohh and may I suggest trying coconut oil! It's a heart healthy oil and is complex so great for weight loss!

May I suggest what we do in our home - roasted garbanzo Beans. http://www.steamykit...anzo-beans.html

We roast them until they are almost corn nut crunchy. We use different seasonings and my husband and kids love them more then popcorn now. I'm in mush foods so I can't have yet.

I made a large batch for a community movie night and tons of people (and kids) raved about them.

Oh and good source of Protein.

Sounds YUMMY!

I heard in Weight Watchers years ago that when you cook at a certain degree the healthy goes away. Not sure if its true or not.

My pleasure! I roast mine for a long time too. Also make sure you dry them really good and oil use a little oil as these Beans hold moisture and take forever to dry out.

Try Edamame! It's supposed to give popcorn cravings the boot!

Edamame Popcorn

SEPTEMBER 1, 2012 · 0 COMMENTS

Some people are crazy popcorn lovers. If you’re like Borz, going to the movies is basically just a means of getting popcorn. Other people prefer not to have kernels stuck between their teeth for the next 20 days. If you love popcorn and want something healthier or hate popcorn and need your own movie snack, let me introduce you to edamame popcorn.

Edamame Popcorn

Serves 2

12 ounce package frozen edamame, de-shelled

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Salt & pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place frozen edamame into colander and rinse under cold Water to thaw.

Spread strained edamame into a 9×13 baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with parmesan, salt and pepper.

Bake in oven about 15 minutes, until cheese is golden brown.

I'm going to be trying to this recipe too along with the roasted garbanzo Beans. I love steamed edamame so I bet I will love this....

Thanks so much!

Great idea! My wife and I just bought a bunch of wild spices that are designed to mix with mayo or cream cheese. However, now I can see mixing them on baked edamame would make something like a crunchy corn nut. We got the following flavors: Thai, tandoori. Wasabi, apple pie,peach infusion. Hmmmm, sounds like an interesting new product idea for a more healthy corn nut with Protein. Now don't go taking my idea and making a 100 million dollars. Excuse me while I go file a patent. ;)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
