    I bought this new peanut butter called NATURALLY MORE. It was delicious and not full of sugar and extra junk. Check it out if you love peanut butter. :)

    Bought a dragon fruit this week, they are so beautiful and colorful...and they taste so refreshing and delish too!

    This sounds dumb, but how did you eat it? Do you just cut into it or peel it or what? They looked really complicated!

    grilled portobello cap as a "burger." Now, it's no beefy burger, but it's a nice substitute that takes on any flavor that you choose to put on it. I basted with teriyaki and topped with a pineapple for a hawaiian portobello burger! And get this...the whole cap only had ~30 calories! BIG difference from the ~250 for the beef patty.

    Portobello pizza.... yummy goodness!

    I used a little bit of homemade sauce, sprinkling of mozzarella, parmesan, green peppers, and black olives. I really like it!

    Here's another obvious one...spinach! Fresh spinach saute'd with red bell peppers, a bit of olive oil, and garlic. I've always hated boiled frozen spinach, but this is a treat!

    Parsnips.

    I roasted some w/ baby carrots, pearl onions & baby potatoes. I diced them up & they're very sweet. I'm such a picky eater but wanted to try a new veggie. I toasted them in a roasting pan w/ a little olive oil for Easter & cooked them low at 325 for a few hours while the ham heated.

    You beat me to it! I'm a veggie lover, but never had parsnips... tried them a couple of weeks ago - just oven roasted (450 for about 20 min) with olive oil and mrs dash... they were SO good. :love:

    I have always been curious to try parsnips...they say you can puree them and mix them with mashed potatoes and not tell a difference. I want to do the mashed cauliflower too!

    I also want to roast some brussel sprouts...never had them!

    I just tried Laughing Cow Cheese today and oh my gosh...so good. I put it on wheat saltines though I love Wheat Thins so I will have to try that next. :)

    Flatouts. Okay, I know everyone talks about them on here all the time, but I had never seen them at the store. Bought some of the italian seasoned kind - omg. Love em. I put everything in a flat out now. I made a regular turkey sandwich type one, I made one with turkey, hummus and feta (greek wrap -yay!), and one today that I pretty much just wrapped my usual salad (with morningstar farms grilled chik'n strips).

    SOOOO good. Definitely more encouraged to go home and make something for lunch than go frozen! I want to try chicken parmesan in it!

    If you like couscus, try quinoa. I like to cook mine in low sodium chicken broth...adds a lot of flavor!

    I need to try this. I also want to try the roasted cauliflower recipie I see on here.

    OK this isn't a food but I am always looking for something different to drink. Today I got Canada Dry refreshingly raspberry, No calories, No artificial sweeteners, only a tad of sodium. Very refreshing..
