Homemade crockpot banana applesauce
I don't do much from scratch cooking, but today my bag of apples from the store broke and 3 pounds dropped to the floor. The 6 apples that hit the concrete didn't break the skin but I didn't want to give them a chance to bruise and get mushy so I came up with this applesauce recipe made in a crockpot and it turned out so…

Calculating Recipe Calories
For the most part I try and calculate out the weight of everything when I'm cooking dinner. However, this is very time consuming, especially when I'm making something like a curry and have to recalculate the recipe every time I make it because the ingredients and ingredient amounts change constantly. Does anyone have a…

What are your top kid friendly, calorie friendly dinners?
I cook for myself and my two kids (5 year old daughter and 9 month old baby who thankfully eats ANYTHING). I'm trying to lose a few pounds so I've started eating at a bit of a deficit. To make that deficit more enjoyable I'm choosing more vegetables and some lower calorie options so I can still get a good volume of food.…

What are your go-to healthy comfort foods?
Winter is here in my part of the world and I am freezing! I'm looking for healthy comfort foods to take for lunch. The kind of lunch that you look forward to and you just know is going to stick to your bones, but is also healthy! I don't like taking soup and stews as they make a big mess when transporting. Until I get a…

I hate vegetables...
I am looking for some recipes that are relatively easy to make. My issue is that I absolutely hate vegetables. I need something that can mask the natural taste of vegetables but still provide nutrients. I refuse to just "suck it up" and eat veggies as is- life is too short to eat a meal you hate even if you are trying to…

Spaghetti/meatball calorie help
Ok so I'm making a new recipe today for spaghetti and meatballs. I have all the individual calories-calories for the meatballs and sauce. Now how do I combine it all to find out the calories for a serving size? It's for 20 meatballs-no problem because I can divide total calories to find out how much in each meatball. But I…

Importing a recipe and the nutritional info is all wrong
I'm just starting back up with using my Fitness Pal and imported one recipe I enjoy and know it is low cal etc etc but the recipe once imported, from the Cooking light website, listed it as having 3000 + calories (feta cheese for 1tbsp - came in at 2450 cal). This is discouraging to me, scares me that other recipes I…

Breakfast foods
Hi everyone. I am new here. I'm looking for breakfast ideas. I have had oatmeal the last 2 days. Yesterday I added raisins and today a 1/4 of an apple. I never really ate breakfast on a regular basis. I can't have turkey or cottage cheese and I struggle to eat eggs. Any ideas are appreciated. Thank you!

Do you ever question the calories?
Do you ever go over a recipe 3 or 4 times to make sure it's right because the calories just seem like they're too low. I do this every time I make a recipe with spaghetti squash! I use the USDA food food database to verify all my entries, and measure in grams on a food scale, so I know that they're accurate, but it still…
