Hello Foodies! I just started calorie counting with MFP and was absolutely thrown aback when I saw the wallop that "normal" pasta packs. Once the shock had passed I looked at wheat pasta... I only cried a little. Rice noodles were also not the savior I was looking for. Is my quest in vain? Have any of you found a good…
Hello everyone. I'm a professional chef and a foodie through and through. In the 12 years since I entered this line of work I've learned an awful lot about delicious food and how to prepare it. I've also managed to gain 50 lbs in the process. :( But that's why I'm here on MFP! I want to lose the weight and get back into…

I thought it was pretty good too so I decided to share it with my foodie friends. Here ya go. Ingredients: 12 oz. (or more-- that's what I had on hand last night) boneless, skinless chicken…
Hey everyone! I'm Rebecca. A bit about me: I love to cook and eat out, although I'm doing much less of the latter lately. I have zero formal training and generally cook "everyday" food", nothing too complex, just hopefully well-executed. But I'm pretty adventurous when I have time, and I like to think I cook intuitively. I…
I've only just joined MFP and was pleased to see there is this group bringing together foodies. But I notice there hasn't been much activity of late, and that unlike other groups there is no introduce yourself thread. So let me get the ball rolling. I live in a seaside town on the east coast of Australia, just south of…
Hi All, I'm new to the group and relatively new to MFP. I love the nutritional value and color of root vegetables, but roasting them gets old. Any recipe ideas, spices, cooking methods you've found to spruce them up?
