Calling All Zone 5 Gardeners! Please help me plan!
After an especially cold week where my garden space was buried under 2 feet of snow, I am yearning for spring planting time, really bad!

Calling All Vegetarians
This is my second attempt. My first attempt was way too abrasive, too quick, too much flip of the switch at the time. So, I've decided it's a transition... I'm not going to throw out all the meat in my house right now, that would be wasteful....I can cook what we have (which isn't much) for my hubs and make sure I have…

Sources of non-meat protein/iron
Hello all, I'm after some suggestions for non-meat protein and iron sources. I'd prefer products that are not soy based or very processed as they don't seem to agree with my body.

I am starting the 30 day cardio challenge on Monday and it involves clean eating. When I first thought of clean eating I was thinking more primal/paleo type dieting.

Not as hungry: good?
Lately, I haven't wanted to eat as much. I get full a lot faster, but definitely still eat enough cals per day (at least around 14-1500, but my goal is set around 17) I'm hoping it's just that my stomach is shrinking so I don't need as much and have adjusted to having a more regimented calorie intake. So...good thing, yes?…

Good, low calories snacks?
Hi. So I'm a gamer. I'll admit that right off the bat. I'll spend hours just vegged out playing games. And, well, I'm one of those gamers, that really get into the game, to the point where I once worked up an appetite. And before I started watching my weight, I would just grab five pop tarts or some other sugary snack to…

Frozen veggies
Any word on these guys? I cook usually once a day (putting milk in cereal doesn't count lol). I find frozen veggies to usually be way easier to use and I don't have to worry about them going bad. Just wondering if there's a big drop off in nutrition or maybe some added preservatives I should be looking to avoid. Thanks!

Any Paleo eaters out there?
