  • Got my Bachelors in music education three years ago. I'm returning in the fall to get my Masters in vocal performance. I need to remember all the music theory and history that I've forgotten before then. :D
  • Mine had been behaving quite well for a while, but I'm in the middle of a flare that started last night. Even my medicine isn't quite stopping the pain. :(
  • I have a HUGE sweet tooth. I try to have a little something every day, whether it's a couple squares of dark chocolate, a chocolate protein bar, or a Skinny Cow treat. It keeps me from going crazy and gorging on sweets. And once a week my boyfriend and I go out for gelato. There's a place by us that makes the best I've…
  • Oh my god do I love Nutella! I have an unopened jar in my pantry that I am resisting opening, because I know I'll want to eat it on EVERYTHING. I will eat it straight out of the jar. There's a place by me that makes Nutella and banana crepes. Now I want one. :grumble:
  • I take them shortly before I eat breakfast, along with my fiber supplement. I love my gummy multivitamins, but will probably switch to chewables when the bottle I have runs out, as I need something with more iron. Regular multivitamins upset my stomach something terrible--if I don't eat when I take them or immediately…
  • Bump! I love the "muffins" made with chocolate cake mix and pumpkin, and these sound amazing. I am a chocolate/peanut butter FIEND.
  • It's still plenty warm here in Louisiana, but the boyfriend and I made the Quick Chicken-Corn Chowder from Cooking Light for dinner last night. It was fast, easy, and SO GOOD. We left out the jalapeno, but the red pepper gave it a little bit of zing. Serving size: 1 cup Serves 6 2 tbsp butter 1/4 cup chopped onion 1/4 cup…
  • I've lost an ostrich egg since starting MFP. And I'm aiming to lose a 2-month-old horse.
  • I live in New Orleans, LA and am variously a receptionist, a voice/piano teacher, and an opera singer (depending on the time of day). Great things about southeast Louisiana: Delicious food! Beautiful wetlands. Lots of historic and cultural sites and activities. The music. Mardi Gras. Rare freezes, and even rarer snow. The…
  • It's going to be at least several years before anything like that happens. But I'll keep you posted!
  • This was dinner tonight. Green Chile Smothered Chicken with some steamed mixed veggies. The chicken was so moist and tender!
  • Hey, me too! And hopefully I'm on the road to making it happen.
  • I like going from Cat to Cow. It really helps loosen my back and get all the kinks out, as do Sun Salutations. I also like One-Legged Pigeon a lot, as I'm pretty flexible in my hips and can get deep into it.
  • Bump! I love mac n cheese with a passion.
  • I'm in New Orleans. Feel free to add me!
  • Bump! These look amazing, and I love bean sprouts.
  • Thanks y'all! I'm excited to get healthier along with you.
  • I was recently surprised to discover that beignets aren't as terrible as I thought! One beignet from Cafe du Monde is only 60 calories, though there's no real nutritional value in it to speak of. But as an occasional splurge, it's definitely not the worst choice I could make. Those buffalo chicken thighs and potatoes look…
  • I'm new here too, and I live in New Orleans. If ever there was a city with unhealthier (but delicious!) food and obnoxiously hot weather, I have yet to find it. Feel free to add me!
