Thanks. He's unmarried, & is currently in a hospital in NYC, while the rest of us live in Jersey, so it's been a logistical challenge as well

This is my favorite, but must be done just before serving. Slice as thin as you can (I use a mandolin). Slice some garlic, 1 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp olive oil (good for 2 med - large zucchini), & saute the garlic for one minute (don't brown!!), then add zucchini, stirring constantly. When just about ready, add 4-5 basil leaves…

I prep the night before, b/c I have no time in the mornings. My usual go to is 6 tbsp egg beaters (50 cal), microwaved on a toasted light english muffin or light bread (80-100 calories). Sometimes I add a slice of canadien bacon (20 cal) or ff sliced cheese or laughing cow cheese (30-35 cal) (or both ). I put it together…

I mostly have egg beater sandwiches, sometimes with cheese or canadien bacon. Today I took 1/2 cup fat free greek yogurt, mixed in 6 g PB2 & 1 tbsp sugar free preserves. Had it with a small (52g) bagel.

I weigh most days, but Saturday's weight is the one I log.

Either Ronzoni or barilla makes a gfree elbow or elbow twist. I have a basic macaroni salad for bbq's, just red onion & celery with a homemade french dressing (can also use bottled catalina french.) mayo at your discretion. message me if you want it.

I use 45/30/25 (C, P, F). Don't always manage it, but I want my carbs lower & Protein higher. It helps me make decisions--if I know I'm having a high carb dinner, I try to go carb light eralier in the day. You have to see what makes you satisfied. For example, I have to eat protein at breakfast, because if I don't I get…

I thought maybe you needed help eating them.... :D

I skip the bread crumbs & mayo -- just mix parm cheese w/ basil, garlic powder & oregano, sprinkle on top -- yummm

Low fat mushroom risotto -- about.com recipe. We're making it tomorrow night (Friday in Lent). And, since my daughter has celiac, I'm even making their homemade vegetable broth to use in it instead of canned (can't get a straight answer if it's gluten free or not)

Perdue Oven Stuffer, stuffed with my absolute favorite stuffing -spinach & ground pork!(I was 12 before I found out other people ate bread stuffing!), broccoli & carrots (for my DH who eats few vegetables,) & salad. Yummmm

I'm a pharmacist, & I've never heard of a medication (yet) that can block gluten absorption -- it's not like lactose intolerance. Your symptoms are consistent with gluten intolerance or actual celiac disease. There does appear to be a genetic component to celiac disease, so if your dad has it, you may as well.…

Since I bring my breakfast & lunch to work most days, I pre-log because I have to make it the night before. I have a rotating set of breakfast & lunch items that I can easily make & bring with me. I also have specific snacks that I bring with me. I usually plan about 1/2 my calories for breakfast, lunch & snacks, which…

Add 2 cups cooked brown rice, 8oz can tomato sauce, 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. stuffs 4 medium size peppers, cut in half. I usually pre cook them for 5 minutes in the microwave, stuff them, then bake 20 min @400 after stuffing…

Day 101-- baby shower at work today. I had brought my lunch, but after looking at the food, decided to have some. Barbecue from this local place - I had a small piece of chicken breast (removed the skin) a small rib & some rice. Avoided the fries & rolls. Still a little hungrt, so went up to the cafeteria for a small bowl…

Some brands (I have a cuisinart) have a gluten free setting. My daughter uses it & has had good luck with it. She uses the Gluten Free Pantry Favorite Sandwich Bread mix & freezes what she won't eat in a few days.

Arnold's Nature's Harvest light multigrain sliced (40 cal/slice), multigrain or honey wheat round flat sandwich rolls (100 cal), multigrain pocket breads (100 cal for 1/2 one), thomas' light english muffins (100 cal), Fiber one 80 cal tortillas. Those are all in my current rotation, will use to make sandwiches/wraps, or…

There's no RDA, so there's no recommended amount. Don't worry about it if it's red, just try not to go into the red on Saturated fats

I sometimes do something similar, & if I have the carbs/calories to spare, toast 1/2 a large pita & spoon it in. Then you get the feel of eating a turnover!

My older daughter is disabled, & while we're actually now at the point of making sure she doesn't gain any weight (she's 25, 5'1", 118lb), for a time she was in a "failure to thrive" mode, (between the ages of 10 & 11, she lost over 10 lbs!) & we consulted a dietician. Her suggestions -- Calorie dense foods -- ie, peanut…

I've lost about 45 lbs, & you can definitely tell when looking at my face & belly -- they're much smaller. However, even though I've had to set aside several pairs of pants for being too big (yay!), my legs are still quite large, & my hips will always be. I have the typical hourglass shape -- supposedly, the ideal waist to…

For Roman Catholics, fish, eggs & dairy are all ok. We had taco soup tonight - 1 can each white beans, black beans, vegetarian refried beans, rotel tomatoes, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, corn, & taco seasoning. Saute an onion and garlic, drain the corn and beans, heat to boiling& simmer 15 minutes. Yummy! - I also have…

http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10059012/100-calorie-banana-oatmeal-bars#latest -- this link leads to a recipe someone posted.

We have a george foreman & cuisinart (got the cuisinart after my daughter was diagnosed w/ celiac & needed a "clean" one for her). Like both, but the cuisinart is better in that the plates come out for cleaning (older GF, plates don't come out) & the plates are reversible -- one side flat, one side griddle. We were also…

Ingredients 0.5 cup dry oatmeal (40GM) 0.5 cup fat free cottage cheese 4 egg whites (I use the egg whites in a carton -- 8 tbsp/68 gm) 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp vanilla 1 packet Stevia* (2 packets for sweeter pancakes) - or splenda optional spices of your choosing -- I like cinnamon & cloves. Hand blender for mixing…

That's a good idea. I also like the one about draining, rinsing, measuring according to USDA, b/c I always drain & rinse to get off the "goop" & some of the sodium.

I'm having pancakes tonight (unexpected, & I'm not making them--long story) & I'm not freaking out about it screwing my day. Mom's making them, was worried I couldn't have them, but I told her not to worry, just give me the recipe so I could calculate my calories from them. With my planned breakfast & lunch, I'm actually a…

Will unexpectedly be having pancakes tonight -- snow changed my plans, since my daughter's program is closed today (she's 24, but disabled, goes to an adult day program) & my husband & I are both working. Luckily, his day starts later (teaches @ a county college) & so he's making the 1hr drive north from our house to my…
