I'd previously made a faux potato salad using cauliflower and it was
OK. Today I tried using white turnips. It came out excellent, much
better than the cauliflower version. I just peeled the turnips, cut
them into cubes, then steamed them for a few minutes until they were
just tender enough to insert a fork. Quickly spread them out to let
them cool, then used in a classic potato salad, ie mayo, salt, pepper,
diced onion, diced celery, garlic powder, onion powder. You could
use any other recipe. It was delicious and really doesn't taste like
turnip and I think people would have a hard time figuring out what it
was made from. A 1/2 cup of the turnips has about 2g of carb compared
to 14 for potatoes.

Hey Trader, what LC cereals are you eating these days? I'm still going
with the trader Joes High Fiber stuff.

I haven't had any cereal since last Fall, when I finished up the last
box of Atkins flakes I had stashed away. I've never been a big
cereal eater. I only ate cereal occasionally, but they were a great
item for a change from time to time and I do miss them. No Trader
Joe's near me and I haven't really looked for any replacement. South
Beach had a product that was lower carb, but I think it was around 20g
of carb vs maybe 7 or so for Atkins. The Atkins cereal really
tasted great, as good as regular and even the last old box that must
have been 5 years old still tasted very good.

On another note, there is more, even worse news. Looks like Hood has
killed their CalorieCountdown LC milk! I'll start a new thread on
that one.

At 20 grams minus the fiber, may as well go with oatmeal. We get steel
cut oats and make a batch a few times per year. Simple and filling
though higher carb.

High Fiber is 23 and 9 fiber! Maybe you can find it online?
