Good substitutes for meat are mushrooms or beans. Try making your favorite dishes and substituting black beans for red meat or white beans for chicken.

In case anyone actually wants to make this, I realized I didn't put the amount of oil, it is 1 1/2 t of oil! Guess you can't edit your posts after one hour on this forum? Lame!

I use them in Tortilla Soup: 32 oz chicken broth cooked shredded chicken breast black beans corn rotel sauteed garlic spices (cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, oregano) Simmer for 20 minutes. You can top with cheese, sour cream, salsa, etc...It's called Tortilla soup because you are supposed to top it with crispy corn…

I make my own too. If you don't have a greasy meat and use less cheese, it really isn't very greasy at all. I like mine with mushrooms and black olives or green chile and green olives. Also, when I was a girl, we used to do a version of mini pizzas on english muffins with sauce, cheese, and toppings, and then we would…

I do mine with diced tomatoes, garlic, salt, pepper, jalapenos, and fresh green chile. You can use the canned if you have to:sad: I :heart: green chile in all things Mexican.

I love Terrakyi Chicken, use the low sodium version though. Also, I just watched a video on how to make Alice Springs Chicken, and it looks so good but I haven't made it yet. Use the thinner chicken breasts (about 1/2 inch thick). If you have the thick ones, you can thin them out with a meat tenderizer. You marinate the…

If it makes him that uncomfortable, I wouldn't do it. I can understand where he is coming from, I don't want people looking at pics of my husband. Your marriage is more important than posting pics. You can probably still do really good before & after pics with modest clothing on:smile: ETA: Looks like you've already…

I didn't know Cooking Light did a cookbook...I :heart: their magazine! I'm addicted to cookbooks, I love most of them.

I lost all my weight too:happy:

It depends on how old your baby is and how much you are nursing. If you are exclusively breastfeeding you need an extra 500 calories a day...you need more calories when you are breastfeeding than we you are pregnant! I've heard good things about the weight watchers plan for nursing mothers, but I've never tried it myself.…

I make Tuna Salad with just a little bit of mayo (only 1 T), chopped apples, and sweet pickles...so good!

Yum, I was just craving crab salad the other day. Using yogurt instead of mayo is a great idea. Thanks for this!

This is one of my favorite meals (we do dorritos instead of tortilla chips though). I don't put sour cream in mine, and it is wonderful. Not sure if taking the sour cream out will help you on much calories though since you are using fat free sour cream.

That's looks yummy! Adding it to my meal plan right now:)

I know you needed this yesterday, but here's an idea for next time: Taco Soup 1 lb browned ground beef 1 packet Taco Seasoning (or do a homemade version) 1/2 packet Ranch Seasoning 1 can Rotel Corn, Diced Tomatoes, Pinto Beans (you can add other beans like black or kidney as well) 32 oz Chicken Stock Simmer on the stove…
