And NOW I have a thread for archiving later cooking adventures.
Not low-cal, made this today and want to record my notes here, {I first learned of this dish on the Thanksgiving thread 2009}.

Cottage Cheese Loaf
1/2 onion, chopped
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
2 lb. cottage cheese
1 or 2 splashes of soy sauce
5 eggs
2 cups bran flakes, crushed
Melt the butter and cook the onions in the microwave. Take a casserole dish outside and spray it with Pam. {Yep, I really go outside to use Pam, supposedly it coats the lungs if used indoors.}
Combine all ingredients and place in casserole dish.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

Original recipe called for five cups of cereal, but it is too dominant at that quantity.
Joya’s note, I’ve not made these, putting them here as an idea to try later, except, I don’t care much for pecans / walnuts, so would try with almonds maybe. Link where I found this posted after recipe.

Chocolate Cranberry Power Bars (link at end)
Added by elanaspantry on April 13, 2011 in Gluten Free, Special Dietary Needs
These high protein, gluten free power bars are easy to make and remind me of Lärabar’s, though these are super fresh since they’re homemade, and they’re also not quite as sweet.
•2-¼ cups Pecans, Lightly Toasted
•¼ cups Cacao Powder
•15 whole Large Medjool Dates, Pitted
•1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
•10 drops Stevia
•2 Tablespoons Agave Nectar
•½ cups Dried Cranberries (you Can Add More If You Like)
Preparation Instructions
Blend pecans and cacao powder in a food processor until combined and coarsely ground. Add in dates and process until blended into the dry ingredients.
Process in vanilla, stevia and agave until well-combined. Stir (or work in) dried cranberries with a spoon or by hand.
Press the mixture into an 8×8 inch pyrex dish. Freeze for 1 hour, or until firm, then cut into 16 squares.
Makes 16 squares.
