I know the feeling about the work hours. To me after I opened my own restaurant, I was like, what was I thinking. LOL That and a few other choice words. I also remember coming home from work, so tired that I could hardly get my shoes off and my family telling me, OMG, you smell like a kitchen. I wanted to say, "NO…

Squash. Many things that you can do with it. It gets soft very quickly while cooking. Saute up nicely with Garlic and olive oil. Add to pasta dishes, as well as many other. You can also use it as you would a zucchini. Buon Appetito.

Wow, another Foodie. I have also been a Vegetarian on and off for years. After the butchering class, when I was younger, that definitely pushed me towards being a Vegetarian. Though with a family of meat eaters, and they are adamant about that, I found it hard to be a vegetarian 100% of the time. Though there are some…

Totally understand, I had a bad marriage and can totally relate. But the first thing that you have to get in your mind is that you are beautiful. Now that you are on a new path, you are going to let that beauty come out and shine. You have a lot to offer and would love to be your friend and support you! The world is your…

I am having trouble sharing my recipes. I thought when I put them in the recipe section that they were there for everyone. I seem to be having trouble getting everything to be seen.

I have two dressings started now, as I love different types of salad. One has an Asian flavor, and the other has a tradition but spicy flavor. They both should be listed by Monday with the nutritional facts.

Maybe we can all put our heads together and come up with an idea. It think it would be cool to share ideas

I thought That I can let everyone know on this thread that I made a recipe available with the name of the recipes. I thought that is why they ask if you want to list the recipes. Am I wrong about that?

Okay, Maybe I did not make myself clear. I have no intention of ever selling you anything. This is just for ideas that we can learn from each other. If I design a recipe, I will give it away. I am not that type of Chef that lies about what is in the recipe when others ask for it, nor do I try to make money off anyone. I…

I have that pouch also. The doctor said it will come to a point no matter how much you exercise and diet (unless you drain all the fat from your body) it will still be there, even if you exercise all day long. There is only one option for that little pouch below your belly button is to have it removed. Sad but true!

I used to live by where Eggland Best Chicken Farm is. The government had to step in for their treatment of those chickens and the filth from that farm. No way would I ever purchase those that were distributed from that chicken farm. People pay a lot for those eggs, but I wouldn't, those are silo eggs. Anyone can look it up…

I also can be a stress eater. After I do it... The hate I have for myself goes on for days. But, I have tried this the last few times and it worked. Will it work tomorrow? Who knows? But it is worth the shot. First, ask myself, why am I going to eat this item and I probably won't even taste it. It isn't what I really want.…

Looking for a friend also talk about goals, and how life can set you back. Starting a new food venture and using myself as a test subject. Would love to have your insight on my recipes. Profession Chef by trade, looking to create food that will be healthy, decadent and easy on your diet. Changing your life style, should…

I think that there are a bunch of us here that will motivate you!. If you hadn't been through enough, now your body has reinvented the definition of hyperthyroidism. That is enough to make someone want to eat enough chocolate to last a year. LOL. Seriously though my prayers are with you. Listen there is one thing that I…

Congratulations on becoming a lawyer. My family has many. Me more of the artsy type, Professional Culinary and Pastry Chef. I new on this web site. I feel better when eating better. I am now trying to put together a dessert company that will give decadent desserts that are healthy. I know what you are saying, can both of…

Hello, This is also my first time posting. Always trying to lose weight myself and balance being a chef. ugh!

Hello! I would love to be your low carb buddy. I am a professional chef and basically eat low carb. I should say I try to ear low carb. Being a chef and being on a diet sounds just as bad as "Jumbo Shrimp" (who ever thought of that name, apparently did not think it through, lol). We can exchange ideas and I am always…
