Frozen peas that don't get cooked get put into summer type pasta salads, etc and are yummy. I'm actually out of frozen veggies and was just at Aldis and the only option to buy was corn :'( . I like corn but I need more than that lol. I think I'm glad it's warmer weather so I can get more fresh vegetables cheap since frozen…

Today on a vegan blog I saw a new powdered coconut coffee creamer called coconutcloud. It's vegan, non gmo and has no carrageenan -huge plus for me. I have no idea about the calories.

I like to buy small sweet potatoes so that I can easily fit them into my day. I hate sweet potato fries :s but love a baked sweet potato with something spicy as a topping. A small one (weighed) really isn't bad on calories at all.

I think Ramsay is a better all around chef but I like Bobby Flay's flavors (mainly sweet & spicy).

I hit up things on sale or clearance most of the time. I never shop by recipes unless it's a dessert for a function or for holiday meal items. The other day trader joes had red bell peppers for $0.69. Sooo cheap so I bought several and sliced some and chopped some and froze them in baggies. Now I have wonderfully delicious…

Smoked rainbow trout fillet and a small banana.

Most of the time around 5 lbs up or down. But, after a big exercise day like hiking several miles in hilly terrain, I've had a 12lb increase that lasted only a couple days then a big swing back down. I'm 6' and still 100 left to lose and have chronic pain that comes with swelling so... If you know your logging is accurate…

People don't know how and then as a result think it takes hours and hours and 50 expensive ingredients and special equipment and skills. I make a lot of things that are delicious and don't take much time. It's cheaper once you have basics stocked and most of the time faster for me. I only have a McDonald's, subway, and…

Salsa - I make my own, cottage cheese works too since a little can coat your ingredients and you can add herbs and spices to it, citrus is a good idea - I love lime squeezed on a salad that has been sprinkled with cumin, chili powder, salt pepper. Orange can be really good squeezed over Asian spices. Depends on what…

I agree with that too. I've known people that were obsessive almost with their dental hygiene and still get cavities. Then there are people like me that while I do brush my teeth at least twice a day, I almost never floss - literally 4 or 5 times a YEAR lol and that's usually after eating some thing like corn on the cob. I…

2 eggs scrambled with a tablespoon cream cheese.

I agree on the imitation crab meat. I don't know how this nasty stuff came about but it doesn't look like crab meat. It doesn't taste like crab meat. It doesn't have the texture of crab meat. I don't know why pureed cheap white fish mush with lots of added things that is then squirted out of a nozzle and painted with a red…

I love loaded sweet potato or white potato for breakfast. I stick with a smallish potato (weighed) then top it with a couple over easy eggs, maybe some crumbled sausage (I rarely eat bacon :s ) and some fat free greek yogurt (high protein) and either some chopped hot peppers or dash of hot sauce. It's always around 500 ish…

Another vote for mug cakes. I tried a few different recipes and it just got worse. I very very very rarely gag on food but even thinking of the texture and taste :s . I do not understand why anyone likes them. Vile. Also I don't remember the name of it but it was at the checkout lane at whole foods and on sale. ...one…

Kind of an open faced breakfast sandwich using a toasted English muffin topped with laughing cow cheese, 2 scrambled eggs and soy chorizo. Good and filling

I have one and you need very little oil. If you use no oil, you have to let what you are cooking stay in a bit longer and then it releases so .... you could go with no oil sometimes. But again, it's only a few calories worth of oil so it's worth it. I love my skillet. I only bought a small one to test it out for eggs and…

I seed it because there is a lot of water in the seeds and the stuff they sit in. It can make the sauce watery but it will still taste good. I don't seed cucumber for salads, etc. English cucumber is a good option like francl mentioned - those also have no wax.

I do about a cup of fat free greek yogurt, a smallish cucumber that I have peeled (because of wax) and sliced lengthwise and scraped seeds out with a spoon then dice, a finely minced clove or two garlic (up to your taste), about 1/2 teaspoon dried dill and a dash salt. It's always better to mix this then let it mingle for…

Red food coloring is in SO many things. I also have issues with it and some other intolerances and a few true allergies. I read all ingredient lists and buy lots of whole food items and make things from scratch. I can't even have raw celery anymore :'(. I seem to be okay with small amount of cooked.

They have a couple different eggplant dips in cans or jars - the one I got was disgusting. I mostly stick to single ingredient items so I love shopping there. I get a few things like low carb (and low calorie) tortillas which are awesome and sweet chili sauce and soy chorizo, a few other things ....mostly whole food items…

Just shake some cayenne pepper over it then steam or bake it. I do a little salt too. I mostly do this with baked green beans. Also garlic really goes well with broccoli.

I would add them to just about everything I cooked. I do that with broccoli slaw. Eggs, soups, stir-fry, casserole, roast/steam with other veggies and some garlic, coleslaw - I've found making my own sauce with plain greek yogurt and a little sweetener (i use sugar or honey) salt and a little mild vinegar to be pretty…

Hamburger patty with small baked potato topped with ketchup and diced chipotle in adobo sauce then a fried egg on top of each. Lots of protein and delicious. A little bigger breakfast than my normal lately but I was hungry and can afford the calories.

Honestly the fake butters just don't have the flavor and I end up eating more of it. Just use less of a real, quality butter and have it on the top of what you eat it with so you really taste it.

I want organic apples because of taste. Cucumber I'd rather have without the wax too but usually just buying an English cucumber takes care of that. Anything I grow is organic.

I mainly use mine because it cooks meat so fast with little mess to clean up.

Sometimes that app is really close to what my HRM says I burned and other times it's very wrong - by like 1,000 over on our last hike. As soon as I saw the number I knew I hadn't exerted enough energy for all that - but that knowledge is based on tracking other times. It was 26k steps on hilly, rocky terrain :| I love the…

Chili lime spiced mango. I can't even buy it often because I'll eat the entire bag. Also the little chocolate espresso candy that's at checkout. Fig and olive crackers. Amazingly delicious.

:D I saw one of those in a thrift store a few weeks ago. I busted out laughing because of my daughters reactions when I told them how it "works". They also had some ab torture contraptions oh and a thighmaster! Someone cleaned out their attic LOL. I stuck with my used tennis racket for $3. Darn I keep forgetting about…

I never salt my cucumber to get water out but I do peel (because we have the gross waxed cucumbers) then slice the cucumber lengthwise then scoop the seeds out with a spoon before dicing or grating. Tons of water in the seeded part. I second the greek yogurt and a little dill instead of lemon. A little minced garlic and…
