Well...this post is WAY too late for your party...but...since the person in question is your BFF... @brittanystebbins95 At "Lovely Little Kitchen" there is a recipie for "World's Best Pumpkin Muffins". I've never made them with pumpkin...but zuchinni-apples-carrot...and with both regular and gluten free flour…

@jessie2k1 I'm thinking you may have the typical 2 adult, 2 chunky children family that has been created by the pandemic/home schooling/"don't go anywhere" situation. Steak and shrimp recipies aren't affordable for the average family right now. Minestrone & any other kinds of chicken-veggie-bean soups are great, with a…

You guys ROCK!! Today I tried for the 1st time to make crispy chickpeas and did EVERYTHING wrong. Not really drying them, heating them in a little oil with Garam Masala in a cast iron skillet on the stove...Well, I had some really tasty Indian flavored warm chickpeas for my salad. Nice, but not hitting the target. Will…

I love my air popper !! Spritz the popped corn with your choice of "butter flavored spray" to make the flavoring stick, then sprinkle with Honey BBQ Popcorn Sasoning....or my favorite, Habanero Flavored Sugar. MySpiceSage...free shipping, and a free sample of your choice with every order, no matter how small. Za'atar is…

Well, thanks to to so many of y'all for making my disfunctional family look sane. At 75 I'm still capable of carrying in my own firewood, and using the weed-eater to keep my yard in check. After losing 30 pounds in a month due to covid, I felt that I didn't weigh enough to keep my huge riding lawn tractor in check on my…

Wow, all these carefree happy childhoods, in spite of being overweight. I don't envy, but cannot imagine. I grew up way out in the country with no neighbors except my father's parents next door. I was a shy skinny solitary child who was not allowed to leave the yard unless to go to visit with my Grands. That ended when I…

Dang, MIss May...tired just reading that terrific list...need to use it. With so many of y'all counting days, I looked at my calendar. Happy surprise !! 81 AF days today. To me the first day was a victory. And every next day. The night I decided to go on a food diet and stop drinking in order to lose weight I drank the…

All the AF people aren't gone...AF for 10 weeks now. I'm AF til October. Just checked my weight, and I'll have to lose almost 3 pounds a week to make my goal. Won't be able to do that while drinking!! Get up off my duff and stack the rest of my 3 cords of winter wood. Wish it would stop raining here, hate to work outdoors…

@NovusDies....Guarachi BACON Wine...for when it gets cooler and you might have an occasion to indulge. Not recommending that you do. jes' sayin'. Hey y'all, let's not start again on the AF \ moderation argument. Debate within yourself as to which is best FOR YOU. I can be AF, as I am now, but am holding a carrot on my…

I stuff a mini pita with a roma tomato-2 slices of bacon-and all the fresh spinach it will hold. It's name is Breakfast. Just a touch over 200 calories, even with a T of 5 calorie mayo. A hot dinner salad over fresh spinach gives it that cooked/not cooked thing. Some nutritionists say more nutrients in cooked, some say…

Not a vegan, but since my current high protein1200 calorie diet doesn't register enough iron on the MFP tracker, I also eat a small bowl of "vitaminized" cereal. JIC... Decades ago I had a medical issue that should have left me anemic and my doctor was puzzled as to why I was not. He agreed that my lifelong use of cast…

klorben...in response to your question up thread, If you usually go to the same bar, ask your bartender [beforehand and privately] to make your drinks extremely light on the alcohol. No one else has to know your little strategy. I used to be a bartender, and actually did this for a few guys who didn't want to be…
-
Alli_11....some strategies I used successfully are changing locations when I feel tempted to drink, or continue to drink. Dine at a new place and order a fancy water and send the menu AND the wine list back when your order is taken. That way the waiter asks if you would care for another "fancy water" instead of another…

I started to read these posts as a support for my intended moderation of alcohol use, as the title implied. I saw that some were AA bound, for reasons of their own, and some were struggling to cut way back. Neither camp seemed judgemental or preachy until the last few pages. Then all heck seemed to break loose. For the…

Well, NovusDies, took your advice and got my 71 year-old self capering to Nothin' Fancy's "I Met My Baby In The Porta John Line". I feel GREAT, but my Catpuccino has now confirmed that his Person is crazy.

Started MFP in order to really mindfully lose weight. Went on a vacation and while packing, discovered that a number of my summer clothes didn't fit properly. Zipper closure failure... I'm aware that my wine drinking leads to eating more than needed, so it's not on my diet plan. 13.2 pounds gone, but who's counting ? Only…

Oh....was gonna comment that fried rice without egg is not fried rice, but I guess it's not just "vegetable", but rather "vegetarian". Yours is the recipie I use and add the egg. It IS delicious.

Zucchini fritters made with "regular" flour, no cheese, and add a touch of Old Bay. Bake or fry with spray oil. Passable crab cake substitute on buns with lots of condiments (if you haven't grown up on the Chesapeake Bay). Use grated zucchini in place of carrots or applesauce in muffins and quick breads. A mix of carrot…

Huge poblano pepper stuffed with ground venison & brown rice. While it roasted, sauteed some snow peas and thin sliced carrots. Have all ingredients for Nam Prik Ong except for the Thai Curry Paste, which shall be remedied tomorrow !! Thanks acpgee :)

Skip the baking powder, ditch the SODIUM. The pancakes come out just fine no matter what flour you use.

Roasting your veggies, yes, the asparagus and even stuff like bok choy, with just a touch of good quality "no stick spray" brings out the flavor and sweetness. Afterwards, maybe a dash of sea salt [comes in flavors!] or a drop of sesame oil? Do NOT use the dollar store spray because it sticks to your pans. :o Pot scrubbing…

Been on the MFP for about 2 weeks and am not finding it hard to stay full, probably all that water I'm not used to drinking! Traded out the fat and sodium trackers for calcium and vitamin C on my goals since I eat hardly any packaged foods. My protein usually varies between 75 to 80 grams per day, so I sometimes am not…
