I just can't wait. We got our order from the New Mexico Chili Institute last week and I am ready to plant! Really looking forward to homegrown potatoes, tomatoes, strawberries, raspberries.....We enjoy trying different varieties of beans to dry, and we'll probably plant some different kinds this year. Oh - and we always…

I love me some tacos - especially with homemade corn tortillas. Mix water and maseca and about five minutes later you have fresh shells, ready to fill with whatever goodness you have on hand.

This is a great thread. I'm not just 6'0" tall, I'm muscular, too. My ultimate weight goal would make a lot of my smaller MFP sisters laugh, I suspect, but I like being able to play basketball with the guys and have them bounce off of ME when I set a screen, haha..... My MFP calorie goal is around 1,500 which is just too…

Really fantastic update - and what you say above is so true. Finding ways to work in fitness throughout the day and make simple lifestyle changes has been a critical part of my weight loss, too. Your story is inspiring! Keep up the great work!

@CaffeinatedConfectionist "Persiana" is a handsome cookbook - lots of nice photography, and while the recipes seem very straightforward, I wouldn't say that is a bad thing. Important note, she makes a point of saying that these are not strictly authentic recipes, so if that's important to you, you should know it. I also…

Can't wait to try the Dumplings book. My library has that as well as the Saveur books on the shelf right now, so I think this requires a detour at lunch today!

Add me, too! And best of luck with your weight loss journey!

Weight Watchers was great for me - I needed the in-person support and I had a great leader, which makes a world of difference. It was really helpful for me in the beginning, especially, to have that community, that accountability. I learned a lot about portion control, making healthy choices, and how to "budget" for…

Thanks! I will be on the lookout for these ideas. Just got back from the library and I picked up "Persiana" and Rosa's Thai Cafe.... need to go figure out what's for dinner now. :smiley:

And I guess I should have shared a few that I've been enjoying lately! Maangchi's Real Korean Cookbook The Mexican Slow Cooker The Great Big Pressure Cooker

This. Exactly this. Be a complete food snob. I've lost 60 pounds this way. Just like I wouldn't buy cheap plastic crap at the dollar store for my home, I don't put gross faux food in my mouth. Long term, eating the real stuff keeps me satisfied, and it is super fun, too. One of my favorite things to do is to pick a…

The candy dish may have won the battle today - but it WILL NOT win the war! Disappointed in myself, but making an adjustment for tomorrow.

As a fellow lentil lover, I agree that this is a great thread. Did you know that 2016 is the International Year of Pulses? http://www.pulses.org/ Who knew this was a thing - but it's a thing! Interesting ideas for lentils, beans, peas, etc (they are collectively called pulses, which I did not know until I stumbled across…

I just got home from my PiYo class and can barely lift my fingers to type this reply! :wink: On my PiYo days I also do a minimum of 45 walking to get some extra cardio in. I sometimes count it as Yoga and sometimes count it as Pilates - the calorie burn is the same, though, so it doesn't matter. I too would love to know…

Hi Everyone! I'm new to MFP - I just started around Christmas - and I have been looking to join a group where people focus on positive, manageable changes to achieve their goals. Three years ago, I lost 57 pounds with Weight Watchers and I have maintained that loss to this day. However, I still would like to lose 10-15…

I also got this one from the library and enjoyed: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MZWA8FI/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?ie=UTF8&btkr=1 Whole grains cook so much quicker in the pressure cooker!

I am obsessed by my pressure cooker and use it all the time. I find that it works best for braising, stews, soups, and the easiest risottos you will ever make. Slow cooker is also great but pressure cooker is a life saver when I haven't planned ahead. Here's a recipe I like:…

I, too, understand these feelings, and I've been really struggling to decide what to do about it. I've been quite successful with WW (lost nearly 60 pounds) but I loathe the new plan. I'm still a member, but I thought I'd try MFP and see how it goes. I actually really love my weekly WW meeting so I am concerned about…
