Lol - I see i'm not the only one with baking flops. i'm no cook so I have no clue what i'm doing. I tried making the broccoli soup crackers yesterday and they turned out great. then today when I tried to make the crackers using tomato soup, I didn't remember how much water to add or something and they all baked up as thick tomato paste and most it flattened and burned to the pan.
I scraped them off and ate tomato paste instead of tomato crackers and used the spatula to scrape up the burnt offerings ... ate them too. LOL.
How much water am I suppose to add to those quackers anyway? I have no clue what a thick pancake batter looks like and got lucky the first try. but today was a total mediflop...
I'm planning on trying tomato soup bread tomorrow so....if you've got a recipe you know works, now is the time to post it! Thanks...
DDB The MediFlash? Wow. That's hysterical. I make a lot of MediFlops too. It's tough with all this stuff to get the texture and timing right. Hang in there.
Snowmoon I make the tomato bread a lot. It's just the tomato soup, I add a little bit of the robust tomato snack soup powder for flavor, 1/2 tsp. baking powder, some seasonings, maybe a little grated parmesan and water until it is like a dough. Pat it onto release foil or pam sprayed pan and bake at 350 for about 6 minutes, flip it over and bake the other side until lightly brown.
That's if you want the easy one. There is also a really great recipe here that calls for adding the Medifast snack crackers and some olive oil or oil of your choice. It adds things and I seem to notice you don't do that much so maybe the other one is best for you. Enjoy...
Hey there all...my biggest failing is that I think the "dough" is too thick and then...add too much more water... I still haven't made decent pancakes....they just never cook...and stay gooey. I put the last one under the broiler to see if I could firm it up...and ended up eating flame broiled oatmeal..
I had some luck with the "bread"...it worked well enough to have my hamburge on it with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and a tiny bit of Atkins Ketchup. Wow was that a treat...
The cracker recipe using the cream soups NEVER works out for me, but I keep trying. The last time I made them, I left them in the oven after I turned it off ... they got extremely overdone ... and, of course, I ate them anyway. I did notice that they had a really good flavor that way kind of like those really dark pieces in the packaged trail mix you can get out of the vending machines?.
The only thing I have success with on a consistent basis is the mini-loaf thingies from ddancer. I adore them made with the blueberry oatmeal. the whole house smells like blueberry muffins!..
Is there like an actual site with all these medifast member recipes because I have been hunting through the discussions...
So I am not the only one who eats tomato paste disaters? I had one today. I was determined to get a pizza flavor, as I have been having some cravings. But I added too much water, once again. However, the mozzarella cheese did make it into a tasty paste...
MediPals, I make the soup crackers all the time and love them...Hmmmm don't know what can be going wrong. I don't use a lot of water though. I make sure it is a very thick "dough" consistency. Also, if you can have it, I think the adding some grated parmesan really helps and it gets crunchy and brown...
I am so afraid of the medi flops too! I got adventurous a couple of times, and most of the recipies you guys have posted acutally WORKED for me! (I am not a cook!) lol. btw, thanks for all the ones you post!! Variety is the spice of...medifast!!.
Anyway, I find I like the oatmeal cookies better than the shake cookies too. I find there is much to do with the oatmeal as far as recipies. I have not had a "flop" yet, but I usually let my daughter do the cooking for me. She makes things taste better than when I do it.....
