I tried cottage cheese and it was an epic failure. I tried it with rennet and a mesophilic culture and I ended up with nothing close to cottage cheese.... I haven't tried just vinegar though. After my first failure I gave up and started buying it:)

This has to be one of my least favorite things in the world (I am Dutch mind you). They don't taste bad, but the consistency kills me!! If I remember right, your husband is Dutch, right?? Hope you make these for him and give him a beer on the side!

Thanks!! I logged out of my accounts last night, and woke up to them still showing incorrect info (web wasn't synced with phone MFP, MFP improper adjustments with Samsung, etc.). Note as of 1 hour ago, all are synced together and reflective of the way things should be. Whatever the issue, things are fixed now. FYI, I don't…

Thanks @heybabes. I don't think I explained things correctly. Essentially, the 400 calories (from above example) are being treated as though I am eating the exercise calories. Here is an example from yesterday with the real numbers. If you look at the totals at the bottom, you will see that my daily goal is 950. This is…

I am getting steps, but the exercise burnt is ADDING to my totals. For example, let's assume I ate 1200 calories, and burned 400. My calorie totals are 1200 + 400 = 1600. This puts me in the red even though I am technically under (1200 - 400) = 800. Strange, never had this happen before with fitbit.

I use a basic sauce that I throw together that can be used for pretty much anything. Note I don't really measure so these are all approximations. * 3 tablespoons honey * I use 2-3 TBSP Korean chili powder , but you can use gochujang instead. Mine is always hard and since I don't know what the ingredient list says, I assume…

Instant pot Korean chicken thighs, baby hasselback potatoes and sauteed power greens.

Korean chicken thighs...

That is just BEAUTIFUL!!!

Homemade lamb/pork/beef gyros on homemade paleo flatbread. Side Greek salad. Lots of sriracha!

Day 9 after restart. I am feeling so much better. I did have it out with some frozen potstickers last night....but all in all, doing much better, and feeling much better. Hope everyone is well!!

Beef and pork bulgogi over power greens, Napa cabbage and zucchini noodles.

That chicken option looks pretty iffy to me....I hope you made it home safe!!

Thanks both of you. I think I may have to pick it up. What is the best protein for it in your opinion--if not using fish?

What does sumac taste like? I saw this the other day in the spice aisle and can honestly say I can't remember ever tasting it.

Pork medallion Marsala over whipped cauliflower mash and a side of green beans.

Tomato tart. Can't go wrong! This one is my favorite... https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchen/heirloom-tomato-pie-recipe-1973826

Fresh salmon patty on top of roasted sweet potato 'bun', with greek salad and homemade tzatziki.

This is one of my favorites--throw in blender and you have a Cherry Garcia shake! I usually use more protein powder (1 full scoop) and omit the chia seeds, but it's good both ways. * 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt * 1/4 cup water * 1/4 almond milk * 1 cup pitted cherries * 2 tablespoons whole almonds * 1 tablespoon chia seeds…

Pan seared pork loin with apple balsamic reduction. Sweet potato and sauteed power greens with walnuts.

Day 3, staying strong! I feel so much better already! Simply cutting processed sugars out that creeped back in and prepping and making my own food----I am not always hungry. So happy...;keep me motivated!

Not to derail veganism, but ditto on the simple basic routine. I'm a skincare junkie, have tried everything known under the sun, but always come back to the basics. * Wash, every day, morning and night. I use a combo of products because I like them and what they do for my skin, but this will be personal preference for the…

Schechaun 'something'. I used leftover pot roast as the meat, over riced cauliflower. Wasn't as good as usual, but hey, Szechaun peppercorn and peppers made anything taste good!

Spinach, sweet pepper & ham 2 egg omelette with a side of cantaloupe. Coffee.

Day 1 restart and I didn't die! It's amazing how unwanted sugars (in the form of carbs like bread for me) spiral me into a death drop! I prepped today and it just made me realize how little time I have been spending on eating whole, real, food. Always a challenge.

These are great ideas you guys, thanks! I was worried that it would be too dry for stir fry, but I will play around with different marinades.

Pot roast, roasted sweet potatos, sauteed spinach.

I'm rebooting. I fell way off track and I can feel it. I am going to try to be more active here as I have to maintain!! My major roadblock has been prep. i was devoting each Sunday to prep and that faded once summer started (between work and travel). I now know that if I don't prep, I eat horribly!!

Korean glazed thighs. Chicken tikka thighs. Chicken verde thighs.

The lower calorie Moophoria Cherry Garcia. I actually like it better than regular cherry garcia....
