    Is this my tribe?! Oh bless you all! I like healthy food but the phrase "clean eating" boils my blood. I've lost 26 lbs with 4 more to go and this morning I blended a brownie into my chocolate protein shake :*

    I did that a couple weeks ago during the Patriots game with frozen strawberries.

    So I know you guys are eating something good for the Super Bowl this Sunday. What's on tap?

    I'm thinking all the wings in the world and either nachos or chips and some type of layered dip. Brownies maybe for dessert.

    Part of me keeps wanting veggies and I keep having to tell that voice to shut up.

    In all seriousness, there may be some veggies...probably...most likely....we'll see.

    This is what I am making:

    Buttermilk soaked buffalo wings
    Pulled pork sliders
    BBQ Bacon cheeseburger meatballs
    Chips/homemade guac/homemade pico
    popcorn
    regular potato chips with homemade Greek Yogurt ranch dip
    Baked macaroni and cheese
    Pot of chili with cornbread poppers
    Sausages and Hot dogs
    Baby back ribs
    Philly cheesesteak sliders
    Baked ziti

    We are doing a tequila punchbowl style drink in red (for the Falcons) and a vodka style punchbowl drink in blue for the Patriots.
    Plenty of beer (of course)

    Dessert will be cupcakes decorated in red and blue, cheesecake from scratch and the tears of Patriot fans after the Falcons win. :laugh:

    What time should I arrive? :)
    GO FALCONS!

    How I wish my mother would have made me eat my veggies instead of fried baloney sandwiches.... but I'm not blaming. I just like some stuff, but I've finally learned that limitations are better for me.

Going to be an epic food weekend lol!

    My wife and I will be the couple in the corner quietly munching. We may look familiar, like the friends of a cousin of a long lost uncle that you met once long ago, but can't quite remember where or when :D

    LOL!!! :laugh:

    spoiler: subway cookies are the debil.

    And they do the PERFECT oatmeal raisin! <3

    Nah, sorry - I can't stand raisins! My hubby tries to get me to eat them by reminding me they're just shrivelled grapes, but I really don't like the taste OR the texture!

    Hhaaaagghhkkk raisins are VILE. I will go full toddler and refuse to eat them if they are presented to me. I don't care how long you slaved over X if it has raisins it is NOT going into my mouth! :s

    Because it's nice when I can eat junk sometimes and no one will judge me. :P lol
    YES! I was worried that I was in this alone; LOL. I'm not a "healthy" eater but feel healthier since I'm losing pounds. Maybe in the future quality will matter as much as quantity; but for now, I'm succeeding by watching how much is going in my mouth. I love desserts! With all that said, I have a long way to go...

    Yep. I guess it can also be super demotivating when you're excited and proud of your progress and then someone stops by just to point out the not healthy parts instead of focusing on how much more healthy you are now than when you began.

    I loved fried bologna sandwiches when I was not a vegetarian...with cheese :P and mayo.

    One time, when I lived with my 2 older kids and my parents, the kids and I had to stay at a hotel for a week because they were working on the house with some unsafe fumes....we ate fast food nonstop every single day lol

    Sabbath tonight! Going to have me 4 oz of fresh challah, pasta with chickpeas in a curry-seasoned tomato sauce (recipe originally called for Indian chickpea noodles, but I couldn't find them and the cookbook said I could sub in capellini pasta) and hummus, veggie pate, a couple of other salads...

    And tomorrow, potato kugel, a frosted cookie, maple apple cake...

    Kugel is the tastiest food ever and I miss it because the only one I ever tried had meat in it (bacon). I wish I could find vegetarian kugel nearby! It might be my favorite food.

    Yep... hubby will sometimes try to shove a raisin in my mouth, just because we're children like that, and I clamp my lips tight and refuse to budge no matter how much he tries! It's worse if it's a chocolate-covered one, because then we get messy, but I still won't eat it!

    (Although I will admit, since it's just us here (it IS just us here, right?), that in the distant past if I was really desperate for a taste of chocolate I'd suck the coating off the chocolate raisins and spit the raisin out... It made the chocolate taste funny, though, so that was a really last-ditch attempt to get some!)

    I actually love chocolate covered raisins (raisinettes), but I strongly dislike raisins by themselves.

    If there are any Jewish/kosher stores nearby, you're likely to find potato and/or noodle kugel there. Less common would be carrot, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, mushroom, and Yerushalmi (sweet and sticky noodles) varieties. And I definitely can't keep it in the house. I'm just lucky my synagogue provides it as part of the post-services buffet.

    Right here! Stayed under my calorie goal the past few days even though my diary has included items such as pizza, Doritos, and reeses puffs. I generally do try to eat healthy but sometimes pizza happens. Plus husband has been home and that makes dieting so much harder for me
