  • Honestly speaking, it still takes money to contribute/supply towards any hobby really. I purposely worked two industries for the last 17+ years. I didnt want to be caught laid off from only having skills to do one trade. Most of my family has always worked two jobs, completely different industries for that same purpose -…
  • I still have the original colecovision console unit - the type you needed your dad to lift because it was so damn heavy I have the original Atari 2600 and all of the cartridges I have the original Nintendo gaming system Original Playstation Original Playstation 2 Original Playstation 3 Two full sized computers plus a…
  • Honestly speaking, you dont need flour nor buttermilk.... youre adding unnecessary calories to a classic that doesnt need it. Butter contains stearic acid - that is a heart-healthy acid... If you are going to use olive oil - then consider doing lemon-basil w/fresh thyme, gahhhhhhhlic, sea salt and a splash of vinegar - the…
  • Vim - most Gastroenterologists and Dermatologists will tell you that humans were never meant to consume dairy and grains... One of the two prominent GI Surgeons I worked for often sat back and discussed how horrible our government pushes "you need to have this/you need to have that" and put an FDA stamp of approval on it…
  • Dude - bacon makes it all better! LOL!
  • Amp up the healthy proteins, fresh vegetables but avoid the heavily starchy ones... DONT BE AFRAID OF FAT!!!!!!!!!!!! lower carb intakes require healthy fats for proper nutritional balance. Dont go bat-crap crazy but, enjoy them so long as they are naturally occuring.
  • Well hello fellow 'cyster'.... While my ovaries are cyst-free, the hormonal levels have to be heavily medicated to remain stabilized... the Endo Im seeing has no idea what type of metabolic syndrome I have where my thyroid is in normal ranges... my insulin was so bad that I was forced to remove the entire bread/grains…
  • Your dietician is whacked.. she put you on REFINED carbohydrates - no wonder you are crashing!!!! That dietician is a whackadoodle... there, I said it. It would be more helpful if you would open your food diary - very hard to make suggestions where you have locked it from viewing. Youre definitely gonna need to be MUCH…
  • The BJ's wholesale club we have is VERY expensive. I am competing between Hannafords Grocery store and our local Sam's Club for the bulk meat prices. Most weeks, I can get boneless chicken breast for $1.55/lb at Sams - but you have to purchase the 40-50lb case to get that price. But, sometimes someone orders way too much…

  • I can only speak for myself .... I ****cannot**** eat after 7pm... I would be sick to my stomach if I even tried to fall asleep on a full stomach. Been like that since I was a young girl. The only thing I can handle is a glass of water before bed time...
  • Ive been working with black-light reactant inks... TOTAL fun until you turn the lights on and see yourself glowing in places! LOL!
  • I am a Basoonist in my spare time - I have been doing some composing as well and really loving it. I just had my audition for a private university's orchestra with a piece I composed and they were really impressed with it. I was so motivated by it that I started two more pieces!!! Im very much into wood burning, chinese…
  • Not everyone follows a calorie count and it is not required to do so in order to be on MFP. I currently have patients from various areas of medicine from where I am employed who are given very specific medical advise on what they need to focus on given the circumstances surrounding their current medical care. The calorie…
  • Honestly, is your spouse around? And if so, why arent they helping? If I read it correctly the kids are 12 and 13? Sorry but its time for them to have chores.. they are definitely old enough to take care of some things around the home. There is always time for exercise..... instead of allowing yourself the whole list of…
  • I can 'see' both sides and their argument.. unfortunately the negative side that I see is as a result of the line of work that I do. Advanced medical billing: the number one component of my job is appealing claim denials. I use my clinical background to analyze and interpret the surgical notes/office notes and in…
  • Im actually stuffing my face with homemade chicken vegetable soup w/assorted beans right now and melted parmesan cheese on top. Our mornings have been really cool and soup hits the spot!
  • Hollandaise to your steaks - heavenly on bison... Avocado to spice up your mexican dishes... Compound butter melting its buttery goodness on a roasted breast of chicken or steak tips, even salmon! yes - there be food porn here! 8-P
  • Dont get rid of all of the fat from meats.. .fat in its natural form is good for you...
  • Well, I can see Euro, Asian, Indian, even French dishes that you could easily do. There is a wheat-free soy sauce called "Tamari"... its REALLY good... Take your wheat free noodles, season with fresh gahhhhhlic, star-anise, fresh ginger and tamari... sautee your onions, peppers and broccoli in that same list. Chicken, pork…
  • I dont fit the bill of what you are describing because it hasnt been a struggle, in fact, my husband has been enjoying everything where the foods are freshly made. I just made a 5 gal batch of homemade chicken vegetable soup which was good timing: my husband is sick as a dog with an upper respiratory-related cold and he is…
  • My trusty roasting pan, chunked cauliflower, greek olive oil, whole cloves of gahhhhhlic, thick wedges of tomato, sea salt, black pepper, rosemary to coat well.. Roasted on 425F for about 30-40 minutes... You wanna talk sexy? MANNNNNNN this stuff is good!!
  • 8lb freshly roasted chicken 1lb spinach 1lb freshly stewed tomatoes 1lb onion 6 lg cloves of gahhhhhhlic 4 stalks celery 4 medium sized carrots 2 bunches scallions fresh dill fresh rosemary fresh thyme My stock is extremely rich thanks to the roasted chicken. I keep the skin in while making the stock because I need the…

  • After working many years in the culinary industry (I worked two full time jobs, healthcare and culinary), prepping is a piece of cake often having to work fast and on-the-fly. You have to have a good set of knives to work with - even in the home. You dont need alot of fancy equipment.... but to have a spiral slicer (same…
  • I just did some mad prepping today actually! Im taking a 15 minute break from prepping the following: ***Spiral Rotary Slicer*** zucchini summer squash daikon carrot sweet potato -all stored in water, in air-tight containers with a splash of lemon juice to keep fresh savoy cabbage red cabbage…
  • WHOA.. I never said you were lazy so I dont know why you had to make that sort of comment? ????
  • What fats are you capable of taking in? Believe it or not, this list actually has tons of ideas coming to my mind if you consider different country's cuisines... Also - are you 'open' for herbs and spices?
  • Whatever you do, dont let people's negativity make you think this is a fad because it most definitely is not a fad. Its been around in the medical community since the early 1920's and Diabetics are constantly educated (but dont always follow), on the types of carbohydrates and what the restriction is that they should…
  • Well.. Im not one of 'those' who uses protein powder in my eggs (ughhhhhh), but Im medically required to lower my carb intake but eat a 100% clean intake all the time. I like my protein powder (chocolate & French Vanilla) for my post-workout shakes...I cant eat solid foods after workout out otherwise its a very…
  • Personally, I would try a blend of different cheeses. While I do like cheddar, too much cheddar tends to have quite the oil development (BLEH!)... I like a good blend of parmesan, fontina, provolone and aged asiago... mmmmmmmm That recipe looks AWESOME.. I mean hell - its got bacon!
