Sometimes I make my own marinades, but for quick and easy chicken or just thighs (which I did last night), I use KC Masterpiece marinades. I make a couple slashed in each piece, put them into a zip bag, and pour over enough marinade to coat the thighs. Marinate for a minimum of 3 hours and geill. Delicious. I made the…

Cumin. It must have a little cumin...and a good squeeze of lime.

I got that notice yesterday after veing too busy to eat for most of the day. I had a great dinner, but no snacks and very light breakfast and lunch. So i did some quick add calories to get me over 1000. Somehow i dont think l'll have to log that dishonestly very often to get MFP to stop telling me I'm not eating enough...

Awhile back I was on the Cooking Light website -- I think that's the one....and at the top of the recipe pages were the buttons to click to save, share, etc. But there was a new button, too: a "log to MyFitnessPal" button. Very cool.

The best effortless weight loss diet I ever did was the Generalized Anxiety Phobic Panic Disorder Diet. I lost 25 pounds without trying, and when I did eat, I choked down only the healthiest foods so I wouldn't get sick. It isn't very sustainable though. I told my husband I would gladly gain 100 pounds overnight if I could…

The definitive answer is old school: very slow oven, in a cast iron roaster. This is far superior to any other method.

Wow, you are my kind of cook! Thank you for a post that was a labor of love.

It's like anything else that changes. People moan and wail about it until they get used to it. I played around with it and decided it's fine. I also upgraded to Premium, $50 for a year. I only use the Android app, and the ads were getting bigger and more numerous. I also like some of the other premium features, and…

It can be so unrealistic. Today I was outdoors for 8 hours and logged 4 hours of serious gardening and consumed about 1200 calories, had a deficit of about 1900 calories. If every day were like today, I'd be dead from exhaustion -- and 25 pounds lighter in five week. Umm, I don't think so!

This recipe is similar to mine, but I make a big batch to last for two weeks and add lemon juice, crushed garlic cloves, dried oregano and basil. The balsamic really is key because of its sweetness, and I use white balsamic.

Speaking of idiotic pseudoscience, some anti-pesticide peeps have become hysterical about people applying DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE to their lawns. Imagine how mortified those garden forum folks were when I told them they'd been duped. Dihydrogen monoxide is H2O. Water.

This is a TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE diet!! It brought back horrendous memories because I tried it several times FORTY years ago. It's restrictive. It's punitive because it punishes you for needing to lose weight. It removes all freedom of choice to eat things you like. Stop it. Dieting should never be torture. It should…

Great comparison, and sometimes my dinners are also like a night at the Inprov ☺. My husband often finishes his dinner, comment on how delicious it was, and then he says, "You'll never remember how you made this, will you?" That's why he likes me doing MFP: I can make it again because I write it all down!

I think The Daily Show's recent segment on the anti-science idiocy of the anti-GMO movement pretty much settles the argument. It was so refreshing to see. I've been defending GM,foods from the beginning and if I lost one pound for every time some ignorant hysterical called me a "Monsanto shill", I'd be trying to gain…

Ha. That's what I thought, but here I am at the (not-so-geriatric) age of 64, losing at the same rate I lost in my late 30s, almost 27 pounds in 100 days. So I'm not really convinced age is as big a factor as conventional wisdom says it is.

Some people don't have a clue how to cook. Of all the things parents should teach their kids, cooking is one of the most important...and gets the least priority.

Chicken broth Shredded or chopped cooked chicken Chopped onion, celery, cilantro Cooked rice Black beans Canned Chipotle corn Rotel tomatoes w/green chiles Cumin, salt pepper It's amazing. Put some grated cheddar on it.

Clear (not creamy) soups are almost always low calorie. I usually make broth from scratch, but last week I cheated and made an amazing beef barley soup that was about 250 calories for 1.5 cups. I used leftover roast beef, canned beef broth, canned diced tomatoes, chopped onions, carrots, celery, potato, parsley, oregano…

I have one that I haven't used very much, but it let's you input your own recipes or recipes from websites. It's called My Cookbook.

Twenty olives have 68 calories? Um, no, more like 200. For the most filling and satisfying snack, try boiled shrimp. It's amazing and very low calorie, high protein.

My GERD disappeared completely as soon as I began eating a good balance of lean meats, vegetables, fruits, carbs and fats. I also stopped eating after dinner. I haven't taken omeprazole or any other acid reducer in three months. I hope you have the same experience; I'm no longer waking up in the night feeling like I just…

Don't lose any more.

I wouldn't think this is the right forum for that question, but someone might be able to help you. I wasn't under the impression that clean eating involved paleo or any 30-day challenges.

If you don't view clean eating as a form of deprivation or punishment, it's easy to do for the rest of your life. Sure, take a detour now and then, but if you learn to appreciate, value and really like fresh and unprocessed foods, you won't see it as a struggle. It helps to enjoy cooking, and the more varied and creative…

Mmmmm, thanks! My spinach will be ready to harvest in about 10 days, and I'll be Maki g this.

Make it first. Then scoop it into another container, one cup at a time. Go back and edit your recipe to reflect the correct number of servings.

I am convinced I have a candida problem, and I keep forgetting to ask my doctor about it! You can tell if I've been eating sweets or drinking alcohol just by looking at the skin on my left calf and knee! I have an almost full bottle of Candex, which cleared it all up years ago, and I keep forgetting to take it!

^^^ When I used to travel to the UK for business, there was a wonderful Italian restaurant in Henley-on-Thames, just down the street from the home of....George Harrison! You'd think I loved the place because there was a change my favorite Beatle might wander in, but I actually went there for their amazing carpaccio! No, I…

So, Acg67 -- how long since someone played the Shill Card and accused you of being on Monsanto's payroll? I get that all the time. Thanks for posting that here. I was retweeting that Gawker piece all over the place today. My cousin was sharing Hari's garbage on Facebook and I was pretty blunt with her about her tastes in…
