    That's all I can think of now, but I have tried so many different things since I started. Oh, I finally eat at Subway! (On the rare occassion we eat "fast food":laugh: ) Used to be that I couldn't stand the smell of the inside of the stores. I've been told that I just was unlucky enough to be near the "worse" stores. Whatever the reason, I can handle it now, and love their Red Wine Vinaigrette!

    I like Trueheart's Blend Low Sodium Spices. It was made by a chef in Alaska that my mom knows personally. It tastes great on anything. I just rub some into chicken and bake. Thats it!! There is an email address on the label of tntent@gci.net He may be able to ship some.

    She's SO not kidding! That stuff is seriously good...We made some chicken the other night and I was trying to remember all the spices that were on the label and then the rest of the "other spices" I just tried to guess :-P It wasn't nearly as good...

    FAGE 0% Greek Yogurt!

    I cannot live without this! It's so filling, thick & creamy! Satisfies hunger, and can't be switched up so many ways! I add low fat granola to it, strawberries, blueberries, fat free whipped topping, & sometimes a few semi-sweet chocolate chips!

    Also, I can't live without...Coffee & Pepsi Max!

    Sweet potatoes,,,

    Peel & cube 3 or 4 pounds and fill that pan up. Drop in 1/2 a stick of butter and sprinkle liberally with cinnamon. Cover & simmer medium for 45 minutes or so until done - tossing/stirring occasionally. When they start to soften up take grandma's old school tater masher and beat he!! out of 'em. Mmmm good, and even with the butter a big 5oz serving is like 150 cals. :smile:

    Roasted brussel sprouts? How do you do that, Id like to try.

    This is my recipe:

    10 Brussel Sprouts (give or take a few)
    1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
    1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
    1 tbsp sliced almonds
    red pepper flakes
    salt

    Heat oven to 425*
    Clean and quarter/halve the brussel sprouts (depending on the size), and toss with all the other ingredients. Roast in oven for 15-20 minutes, stir and continue roasting an additional 15-20 minutes or until desired doneness. Enjoy!

    This is just one serving (my husband won't touch them, so I only make them for myself) and the amount of garlic, salt & red pepper totally depends on your taste. I'm having these for dinner tonight. I LOVE them!

    1. Weber Kick'n Chicken spice mix (put it on chicken breasts, sometimes with bread crumbs/planko and a bit of parmesean cheese, or just on chicken patties)

    2. Kroger Grill Time Tuscan Blend seasoning mix (same as above, plus put it on shrimp and stir fry)

    3. Maple Grove Farms of Vermont Fat Free Balsamic Vinagrette dressing (5 calories/2 TSP, put it on cut up cucumbers, tomatoes, basil and shallots)

    4. Trader Joe's Sun-Dried Tomato with Basil Chicken Sausage (good protein, low calories, excellent flavor, very filling)

    5. Kashi TLC Raspberry Chocolate Fruit & Grain bars (delicious treat)

    Absolutely go buy some! I go through about a jar a week. :noway: For 2 tbsp it is 170-180 cals, but 1 tbsp is MORE than enough for a rice cake. Dirty little secret warning! I have been known to measure out 2 tbsp and eat it straight from the spoon:laugh: MMMmmmmmm.:love:
