This is one of my favorite diety recipes. Just please never ask where I got it, because I'm too embarrassed to say.

Baja Lasagna

1/4 cup chopped cumin
2 14.5 oz cans cut tomatoes
3 oz canned diced green chiles
1 cup sliced mushrooms
2 2/3 cups drained, canned pinto or kidney beans
1 tbl. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin
8 corn tortillas, cut in 1 inch wide strips
8 oz (2 cups) shredded low-fat cheddar cheese (set a little aside for garnishing)
1 cup sour cream

Preheat oven to 350 F. In non-stick skillet coated with non-stick spray, saute onion about four minutes. Add tomatoes, chiles, mushrooms, beans, chili powder and cumin. Simmer uncovered 10 minutes. In 11 1/2 x 7 1/2 inch casserole, arrange 1/3 of the tortilla strips in a single layer. Pour 1/4 of the tomato mixture and 1/3 of the cheese over tortilla strips. Repeat layers, ending with sour cream and and the last 1/4 of tomato mixture. Top with reserved cheese. Bake 30 minutes. Makes eight servings.

Diet exchange: one bread, one meat, two veggies, one fat

Wow. No onions! I can eat it! Now the question is... who is going to cook it for me???

Oh come on, Erika. You can't put that statement out there with THIS group! Fess up!

Playboy would be less embarrassing.

Let's just say this came from a diet cookbook. And, um, just because there is no onion doesn't mean this dish won't make you tear up a little bit -- but in a happy way.

Sure, Jeff. They have great articles. Actually a casual friend of mine was in Playgirl last month but didnt have any ummm "typical" Playgirl type pix of him - good thing too I guess 'cause I dont think I could have kept a straight face the next time I saw him! :)

Tammy Faye Bakker cookbook?

No, but aout on that level, embarrassment-wise.

K. Did I get the hint right? It's a diet cookbook by a celeb who either cries a lot or makes others cry a lot?

I don't think Barbara Walters has a cookbook, so that's out.

Oprah cookbook? Unlikely. That wouldn't be embarrassing, and I don't know how she'd have time to do a cookbook.

I'm not sure if Richard Simmons cries a lot, but he would be kind of embarrassing, I guess.

OH MY GOD! Anna Nicole!

:)

Still Guessing

Sigh. Not Anna Nicole. But you were right, Leslie.

Perhaps I shouldn't have said "cry," but instead said "this might make you want to jump around in a tank top and short shorts." :shakehead

Yay! Winner!

I think you are right though. Didn't David Letterman make Richard Simmons cry?

hmm...maybe. i just remember him crying when all the formerly 300 lb. women would tell him how they couldn't play with their kids anymore and then they lost weight and their life improved. he'd get all inspired and cry.
