Memorial Day Quorn Dogs and Rhubarb Stew
For Memorial Day, I made a CR fun food: Quorn dogs wrapped in low carb tortillas (Trader Joe's brand -- no transfats) with a fat free cheddar single wrapped inside, then microwaved for a low cal hotdog! Tons of fun! I also used up the rest of the rhubarb in an unusual way: I made a stew by simmering green pepper, grape tomatoes, rhubarb, garlic, beet green stems, and eggwhites together into a delicious, out of the ordinary rhubarb stew. I highly recommend doing savory dishes with rhubarb. Last weekend I made a Quorn stir fry with diced rhubarb. It's not just for pies anymore!
Tonight the British filmmakers are coming over... I hope they like the food!

April, I've now purchased those TJ's low-carb tortillas and I actually like their "weird chewiness" which is not at all like how a real tortilla should be. Go figure.
When I have a real tortilla, its corn, anyway - I think they are so much more flavorful than flour tortillas.
For the record, the TJ's low-carb tortillas do not fare very well in quesadillas - when they are crisped in a skillet they get very tough and difficult to cut.... so I guess that's a downside to them, but you really can't beat the nutritional specs on them!
Here's another brand I've been getting occasionally: http://www.santafetortilla.com/
They don't have info on the site, but each small tortilla is whole wheat, 70 kcal (7g carb - 3g fiber, 4g pro, 2.5g fat), and not too bad for taste.
