I'm with all of you... both the "real" magic eraser and the generic ones work great... esp. good for slopper marks on the walls if you have a dog with those big floppy lips... :laugh: I have a Basset and "poof! Clean walls and doors again!"

Missouri has the Katy Trail which goes across much of the state... and there are plans to expand it closer to my home (towards Kansas City). Glad you had a great trip! Also, I LOVE your pic with your Basset Hound.... I have one too -- just grayer in the muzzle at 13 years old... :smile: A great companion!

Another idea is the "diet Soda Cake" -- see page 3 of this recipe section... I have always made the regular cola version (Sundrop cake), and for Easter, might make the lemon version (lemon cake mix, lemon pudding, lemon-lime soda). My DH and rest of family loves this cake.. so moist. Quick and easy to make too! And, lots…

I have found that portion control makes a big differnce. I was really conscious about this during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. That way, I don't feel deprived, and I can try the new recipes and such that others have made. This is especially key since many holidays my DH and I are going to both of our families,…

I, too, crave sugar and chocolate... but I am actively trying to increase my fruits and vegetables and don't worry about the natural sugars in that... I am concerned about all the processed sugars. So, I'd just recommend watching out for those. Like another person, here, I find a cup of raspberry green tea (or something…

Everyone goes through an occasional day of eating too much, and I, too had my "cheat" day today, with an outing with family and friends to a local brewery tour, and then to a treat that I don't have too often... a good, authentic mexican restaurant... (in my city, these are right down from the brewery!) But, I had a lot of…

I'm sure you got the same weather I did, Rintin.... I'm here in Kansas City, and we just was dumped with at least 4 inches of snow and a little icy mess before that. And I was just out in my yard in 70 degree weather last weekend... you gotta love KC weather... I, too, am ready for Spring....

I found this on WebMD... I hope it helps! I also was trying to refind a chart I discovered several months ago that it similar... I like it so I printed it and posted it on my fridge! A good guideline to help you understand portion sizes is to translate the abstract information represented by the serving size into something…

There is a lot more minerals, vitamins, and fiber in spinach versus lettuce. Check out this website I just found: http://plantanswers.tamu.edu/recipes/spinach/spinach&lettucenutrition.html

I know what you mean about the smell of artificial flavored peach...sometimes it smells like kerosene. (Of course, I do have a yummy recipe for cooked peaches and plums for fruit dumplings. I grew up with this as a comfort food, but only cook when my husband isn't home, because he hates that cooked peach smell..) As for…

The same thing happened to me when I first started, but now I'm starting to see the scale move down. From what I have read of other posts that are similar to yours, two questions are invariably asked: 1) do you eat your exercise calories? 2) are you drinking enough water? Also, one thing that I think was true for me was…

Already some of my favs have been names (To Kill A Mockingbird, Lord of the Rings trilogy, Memoirs of a Geisha). Other favs: anything by Alice Hoffman (wrote Practical Magic, which many know, but others are great too!), I just recently got into Jodi Picoult too -- Vanishing Acts was good! Also, Ursula LeGuin's Earthsea…

I was impressed the other day with Mr. Goodcents. They have new "Satisfiers," which are about 4 inch sandwiches on multigrain bread. Most were only 175 or so calories with standard dress and no cheese. I had mine with a cup of soup and was plenty full. All nutrition info is on their website too -- but the Satisfiers (with…

I was considering making banana bread, but might have to make these instead! Thanks for the recipe!

The dessert bar sounds like a wonderful thing! I love it! Hey, It is your day -- don't worry about what you eat... and like Lauryn said, you probably won't eat too much at the reception. My DH and I ate some, but were busy with guests and everything else too!

Another Jonny cash fan! Besides hm, I have a mix of a lot of different artists/types... just loaded some 80's and soundtracks (more classical sounding) on this weekend, but most is probably hard rock/a little metal, lots of alternative rock, a little blues.. Oh! Not music, but I also decided to put some comedy albums…
