  • Yep, I use an unbleached coffee filter. After 24 hours, it's thick enough to spread, so I add cinnamon & Stevia. Jacquie

  • If you like Mexican food, try Marzetti's fat free Southwestern dip. It is in the fresh veggie department - creamy, a big spicy. I've also found using bottled Thai Peanut Sauce to be great on salads. It has a spicy, smoky taste that really jazzes up food. Jacquie

  • Must jump in & post a warning about any of the sweeteners that end in "itol". For a lot of folks, it is a potent laxative. I was diagnosed with IBS for years until I read a warning about it being used in kids cold medicine & causing this symptom.

  • Same with me. Once in a while I get a hunger for pizza & at least the frozen variety give the me nutritional info. Never get that at local pizza place.

  • I watch the sodium on everything - always reading labels. If I added up the sodium in deli meat, cheese & dressing it would come out the same as some frozen meals. I always have leftover cooked veggies from dinner, so I stir them into the meals. BTW - have you read the latest medical study that found cutting back sodium…

  • Thanks for the compliment. I'm 71, still trying to have fun, mostly on my red Schwinn scooter when weather is warm. I'm in mid-IL, so it's packed away for the Winter.

  • We have 2 bunches of grandkids - older 6 (4 inherited through kids marriage) are either married or engaged, younger 2 are just 9 & 11 . Total of 9 great grands (5 inherited through marriage kids marriage). Our newer DIL & her kids are all thin as rails. Ladies in our bloodline tend to be "fluffy".
