    "The soup sounds fantastic ! I was looking for something comforting because we are so chilly here. Im a die hard Colts fan but I will cheer for you (Romo's on my fantasy league- just until Peyton comes to town. lol.). "

    I checked out your profile and see we have a lot in common, i.e: "We are football fans in this house. Period. No need to explain. Lots of yelling, fragrant language, jumping, and .....BEER. (Yet another reason to get my butt to the gym) "

    Sounds just like us!! LOL That's awesome!! Thanks for the support, we're playing Eagles again....

    Go Patriots!!!!

    The kids and DH are eating pizza. I hate them! I used to join them for the pizza, but can't eat it anymore because of milk allergies. I did have a moment of hope when staring at the organic freezer section, because there was an Amy's pizza made with soy cheese, but it still had milk proteins in it. Damn Damn and Double Damn.

    I have no idea what I'm eating. Nothing sounds as good as pizza, lol...

    I do have some leftover rotisserie chicken. And there's some ham in the fridge. I guess I'll just have whatever I scrape together.

    Have you thought about making a pizza without the cheese? I've been making our own family pizzas for a few months now and we use so little cheese that I just started leaving it off and everyone still loves them. I use chopped up sundried tomatoes, black olives, sliced tomatoes and chopped fresh italian parsley instead...try it! You might find you are ok without the cheese..

    I think I'll be making some form of shrimp stir fry for myself (AKA whatever's laying about in the freezer that needs to be used) - I'm eating alone tonight. Fiance is working late and will be getting dinner out...

    I'm also making a pot of New England clam chowdah tonight. Bought 2 pounds of Quahog clams (just like Family Guy), some heavy cream, potatoes, white wine, onions and the whole she-bang. This will be the first time I've made this stuff truly from scratch - I usually just buy canned clams and juice....BUT...since I've got some time on my hands and the Quahogs were cheap, I'll give it a shot.

    It's it's worthwhile, I'll post the recipe.

    I thought about it for about 2 seconds... But I'm a cheese addict. This milk allergy is killing me! Maybe a month or two down the road, and I can be happy trying it. But for right now, nope. Thanks though, for the thoughtful idea.

    I love white chicken chili, haven't made it in a while and now I'm craving it! Tonight I am making catfish cakes (like crab cakes) I've never made them before, so we'll see how they turn out. I'm having it with some thin cut jicama with chili powder and lime juice.

    I think I might try out this "Subway Marinara" sauce recipe I found over italian chicken meatballs.

    Subway Marinara Sauce

    olive oil spray

    ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion

    2 teaspoons minced garlic

    1 1/3 cups canned crushed tomatoes

    ¼ cup water

    2 teaspoons sugar

    2 teaspoons dried oregano

    1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

    Lightly mist a large nonstick skillet with oil spray. Set over medium heat. In the skillet, combine the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the onion starts to soften but not brown. Reduce the heat to low. Add the tomatoes, water, sugar, oregano and oil. Stir to blend well. Refrigerate up to 1 week until ready to use.

    Makes 2 cups, enough for 4 sandwiches

    Each serving: 57 calories, 2 g protein, 10 g carbohydrates, 1 g fat, trace sat. fat, 2 g fiber

    I just made a pot of low sodium chicken noodle soup with whole wheat rotini noodles. It's cold down here in GA and my daughter and I are wanting some comfort food!

    White bean chili sounds so good though...I'll have to make that soon!

    Oh and sweet potato fries are awesome. I like them in chip form....yummy!!!

    Just finished eating: Pear salad with dijon vinaigrette (homemade,) pan-roasted brussels sprouts sprinkled with parmesan cheese, and my very first pot roast which, unfortunately, was kind of a failure. Glad I saved some of the red wine for drinking.

    But I worked out this morning and burned 1200 calories, so I am redeemed!!!

    My husband and I burned a lot of calories from walking yesterday, and had eaten VERY low cal stuff all day, so we treated ourselves to some home made sukiyaki, rice, octopus (yeah I know-that's his thing) and some sake.
