1/2 c. Oats
1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon
Splenda to taste (2-3 packets) if desired

Preheat Grill 300 degrees

Mix all ingredients using a blender. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water to thin it out. Drop pancake mixture on electric grill and cook at 300 degrees. When pancake mixture starts to form bubbles, flip the cakes over to grill the other side. Serve with sugar-free syrup and spray butter.

Shape mixture into a loaf and place in a baking dish that has been sprayed with non stick cooking spray. Mix the topping ingredients together and spread on top of the loaf.

Shrimp Stir Fry (or Chicken)

Recipe:
5 oz of Shrimp peeled and de-veined or Chicken
1/4 tbsp of Low Sodium Soy Sauce
1/2 tsp Rice Vinegar
1/4 c. Low Sodium Chicken Broth
1/4 tsp of Minced Garlic
1/4 tsp of minced Ginger
1/4 c. of sliced Purple Onion
1/2 c. Broccoli Florets
1 c. of Snow Peas (Love these!!)
1/2 c. of halved Mushrooms
1/4 c. of Red Bell Pepper Cubed
1/4 c. Canned Water Chestnuts, drained
1/2 c. Cooked Brown Rice



Rinse and drain the shrimp. Heat the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of chicken broth in a pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook until tender. Do not overcook as it will burn the garlic! Add the vegetables to the pan and continue to cook, adding more broth as necessary and turning the vegetables so that they are evenly cooked throughout.

When the vegetables are halfway cooked, add the shrimp and continue to cook until vegetables are tender and the shrimp are opaque in color. Serve over rice.
