Yeah, it is pretty weird looking. I was amazed at how tasty it was.

Stephanie,

I find with the Atkins way there is absolutely no getting around cooking. It simply becomes a part of your life. So maybe pick a day of the week that you're free and spend a couple of hours making up all sorts of random treats/meals

When I was working full time, I found it much easier to invest 2 hours a week in cooking all at once rather than having to think about it every day. That way you just open the fridge, pick something up and go.

If all else fails, it really takes less than 5 minutes to make a faux danish and they're sooo good!

Good luck

Hey I just wanted to mention the cream cheese muffins. They are soooo easy to make and you can keep them on hand in the fridge. Every morning I have one with my coffee and it holds me until lunch.

I dont remember whose recipe it is but whoevers it is - its awesome!

Cream Cheese Muffins

2 8oz philly cream cheese packs
2 eggs
1/2 cup splenda

soften the cream cheese then add the eggs and splenda and mix it all up. Stick them in muffin tins - scoop two big spoons in each and it will come out to 12 muffins -- i use the cupcake cups but they stick a bit but still not bad. Some people sprinkle cinnamon on them before sticking them in the oven but I like them without. I think you bake them at 400 in the oven until they are browning a bit on top.

The trick to these is not to eat them right away. You have to let them cool for at least 3-4 hours or better yet overnite. Or stick them in the freezer and then take them about for a bit and eat them half frozen they taste delicious.
