    Probably not new to many of you, but some new 'faves' that I picked up this week and will pick up again:

    Fage 0% greek yogurt (love how thick it is)
    Kiwi fruit--YUMMO!
    Tempeh--I got the 'fakin bacon' flavor--was great crumbled on a salad

    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.

    This sounds great. I have been wanting to try Portabello mushroom caps. Everyone keeps telling me how good they are.

    They are amazing!! I have to force myself not to eat a portabella cap for dinner!

    Ground flax seed. It makes me soooo full!

    How do you eat the ground flax seed? Do you add it to smoothies? Make bread? I have some left from when I was trying to follow Atkins and I'd like to use it.

    You can add to pretty much anything you eat, from eggs, to cereal, to a smoothie, to veggies, really the sky is the limit!:wink::flowerforyou:

    Seven Star Farms Original Maple Yogurt!! I'd been eating Stony Fields, and after trying Seven Star I'm hooked!!! Far better flavor and less ingredients.

    One thing I want to mention to all the people going on about couscous.....unless you're specifically buying whole wheat couscous, its the same refined semolina product as your basic pasta, its just processed differently. You're not getting much nutritional bang for your buck.

    Take care all!

    no salt added, no high fructose corn syrup ketchup

    don't eat ketchup that often, but hate that it has so much sodium
    this was a tasty refreshing sauce that actually tasted like tomatoes instead of salt.

    I love this thread! I've gotten so many new ideas of things to make. My thing that I've "discovered" is Kashi pizza. It's the mushroom and spinach kind. 250 calories a serving and totally satisfies the pizza craving without the calorie overload. One serving is 1/3 of the pizza which is a pretty big slice! Yum!

    Sango Sprouts - it's the first time I have seen anything that looked more inviting at the supermarket. Got 'em home and thought, now what? So, I grabbed a couple of Arnotts Cruskits and began to build my lunch...yup - I "build" every day and its fun coming up with new and enticing foods that are healthy and nutritious. I am hooked. So, I got out the Philly lite cheese blend and smeared on a lil bit, then I added some pastrami (1 slice cut in half), then I topped with some mashed and curried egg (with parsley and black pepper); then I put a swiss cheese slice cut in half over each of the cruskits, then I smeared a little hummus over the cheese and then grabbed a pinch or two of these sango sprouts and let them attach themselves to the hummus - well, I've never seen anything so delectable. A twist or two of black pepper over the whole lot and out in the sun I went to show off to my hubby that I am now a lunch builder! Don't ask me what kinda sprouts I am eating - but they are delish and I'm recommending them.

    **Skinny Cow Individual size 5.8 oz. Chocolate Fudge Brownie Lowfat Ice Cream
    ...nice because it's portion controlled even more more so than the boxes of frozen confections they sell. Decided I wanted a treat and picked one up. I think they run about $1 Delish!

    **Sweet Red Pepper (not a bell pepper), never tried one of these and have never seen them in the store, OMG, so yummy all on it's own!! I got one in my CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) box this week.

    **Rediscovering the incredible taste of garden tomatoes and cukes...WOW, the garden ones have such a wonderful flavor.

    Winter is gonna be tough for me this year after all these awesome fresh veggies I've been getting, I'm getting spoiled! :sad:

    Found weight watchers cheese wedges yesterday next to the laughing cow cheese. Tried the jallapeno pepper one and it was tasty the only thing it isn't as spreadable as laughing cow but I love pepper cheese so I will take it.
