  • I ate over 200 grams of sugar, which when I look back on it, is something I did relatively frequently before joining MFP! I went for two runs today to try and counterbalance the calories, but I think I'm going to have to call it a day and just file it as fun, chocolate-filled day.

  • I don't know how well this would work for a Girl Scout Troop, but you could use this as a simple Indian side dish. Its very flavorful, but not very spicy.

  • My favorite is Smart Balance Light. It doesn't have the hydrogenated fats found in many margarines, and now they make one with Flax Seed and Omega.

  • I never liked vegetables much before and I'm still not a huge fan of salad, but I try to eat a bag of spring mix each week (that's hard for me). So I experimented with all kinds of new vegetables to start with and found some I like. I love brussel sprouts and keep a frozen bag of them in the freezer and just bake or boil…
