    Yeah I'm finding I can pretty much have anything. Its portion control mostly. The one thing I really miss is slathering butter all over everything!

    Portion control is totally the answer. If I had controlled my portions after I lost the weight I gained from not controlling my portions, I wouldn't be back where I started! :wink:

    I didn't even know they made sweet kale! Isn't it great when we can eat right and be satisfied?

    It is wonderful we can eat great and be healthy. Now if only, I don't give in to my sweet tooth. sometimes I can be completely full on a healthy meal and still want a treat :(

    I always, always need a sweet after dinner. The meal doesn't feel done without it. So, yes, I made chicken tonight in a tasty marinade, but I will not complete my diary until after I have my Skinny Cow Salted Caramel ice cream bar!! And I don't feel bad because I have the calories left to do it, and it makes me feel done.

    I made an oatmeal bar w/ almonds, pecans, raisins, and cranberries (dried). I only used less than half of the sugar it called for and whole wheat flour. turned out pretty good.

    You should put the oatmeal bar recipe in the recipe blog section! I was thinking of adding my southwest chili. There are no recipes in there yet. I bet between us all we have some good ones.

    Sharing recipes is a good idea. I'll see if I can figure out how to do it.

    Wow I'll put some in. Just thinking mfp doesn't have any. I bought that Walden Farms zero calories zero everything mayo and it wasn't too bad. Tastes kinda like Miracle Whip. I put it in some cabbage and made coleslaw. My husband didn't even notice and he's SUPER PICKY. Not half bad. I do like coleslaw.

    I don't think you can put recipes in from the app. I think it has to be on the desktop.

    I put the oatmeal bar in the recipe blog.
