Mozzarella sticks

Mozzarella Sticks

2 light mozzarella sticks (find the kind with 50-60 calories and 2.5 g fat per stick

1/4 c. Fiber One bran cereal

2 TBLS. fat free liquid egg substitute

salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning- to taste

Low fat marinara sauce, optional, for dipping

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a food processor or blender, grind Fiber One to a breadcrumb like consistency. Place crumbs in a small plastic container with a lid. Season crumbs with as much salt, pepper and Italian seasoning as you like. Set aside.

Cut cheese sticks in half lengthwise, so that you have four sticks total. Place sticks in a small bowl and pour egg substitute over the top of the sticks. One by one, transfer sticks to the container with the crumbs. Cover container, and give it a shake to coat the sticks in the crumbs. Carefully return sticks to the dish with the egg and coat again. Next put sticks in back into crumb container, cover and shake once more to coat. (Try doing this two at a time the second time around).

Place sticks on a baking dish sprayed lightly with nonstick spray. Spritz the top of the sticks with a quick mist of the spray. Place dish in the oven and bake for 10 minutes (or until the first sign of cheese oozing out). If desired, serve with warm marinara sauce. Best when eaten immediately, while cheese is hot and gooey.

Serves 2- 2 sticks each

Can anyone tell me about drinking Diet Soda Pop with the Lap-Band. I'm having my surgery Dec.17th. I've totally cut Pop from my diet over a month a go. Not having a hugh problem with this since I only drank one can or bottle a day. I was told you should not drink carbinated drinks with the band. Then I went to a support group meeting and have three members tell me they do and you can that this is not an off limits item. I have an appointment with my Doctor Nov.15th which I plan on asking him about this matter. I just think not drinking it is better for my health no matter what is allowed. Just have to know, just in case I want some to drink some in the future in small amounts. Thank s all

Ohhh that sounds awesome, maybe sprinkle some garlic powder in the coating. I'm definitely going to try these!

You can also use Flaxseed for the coating and it is out of this world delicious and you are still getting lots of fiber!
