The key is adding some water so that it steams the squash. If I'm in a rush I put it in a microwavable dish with some water and cook for about 15 mins. whereas if I'm not in a rush I put it in the oven at around 400 deg. for 45 mins - 1 hour.

Roasted Broccoli - Cut broccoli into pieces drizzle with EVOO and add whatever spices you like (I use garlic and basil). Bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 350 deg. turning halfway through Roasted Veggies - take any veggies you like (I use mushrooms, onion, pepper, zucchini) and cut them into pieces and mix with either (1)…

I personally like http://www.recipezaar.com/ because they have a great recipe sifter and you can see the nutritional information for all the recipes.

I like http://www.sparkrecipes.com/, http://www.cookinglight.com/, http://www.recipezaar.com/ and http://allrecipes.com/. I get the majority of my recipes from these sites.

This sounds awesome - thanks for sharing!!

OMG - I love the Blue Diamond crackers!! Such a filling, yummy snack for low cals.

Whoops - typo that's supposed to read 2 Tbsp Honey. I'll edit it - thanks for pointing that out :)

I splurged and got this one by Timex - http://www.timex.ca/IRONMAN-RACE-TRAINER-Digital-Heart-Rate-Monitor-Midsize-SK5K218-P223C43.aspx?l=e. I absolutely love it!! It's easy to navigate and I find it very accurate. And, the watch is cute which is a plus because I can wear it for everyday wear if I'd like.

I like to bake a sweet potato and add cajun seasoning and serving. So yummy :)

I like to stuff a chicken breast with sun-dried tomatoes and either feta cheese or goat cheese. Tastes awesome!!

Bump - thanks for sharing!!

I'm a huge chickpea fan - thanks for sharing!!

I do the same thing every day and have never gotten sick. I keep my lunch in the fridge until I'm ready to head out the door and when I eat a few hours later it's always still cold. Or, you could get an ice pack to pack with you. Some good ideas: - veggies and dip or hummus - rice cakes and hummus - tortilla chips and…

One of my "go to" meals is 1 15 oz. can of black beans or approx. 2 cups of cooked beans, 1 cup of frozen or fresh corn niblets, 1 red pepper chopped and 1 onion chopped. I mix it all together in a frying pan and add a little salsa or spices and serve it in a tortilla or over rice.

I also live alone so I have become an expert at cooking for myself. If I'm making something that is freezable I make the entire recipe and freeze the leftovers. But if I'm making something that I only want 1 or 2 servings of I looking at the servings a recipe makes and divide the ingredients to come up with 1 or 2…

For potatoes, I like to use the mini red potatoes. I cut them in half or quarters (depending on the size) and mix them with a little EVOO, basil, garlic, oregano and whatever other seasoning I want to use. Then I lay them in a single layer on a baking sheet and cook them in a 400 degree oven for about 30 - 40 minutes…

This sounds great - thanks for sharing!!

On weekends I make either a big batch of soup or chili and freeze it. Then I have a quick lunch that is healthy. Also, when I cook my supper I usually have leftovers that I can bring with me for lunch the next day. Between leftovers and stuff in the freezer I'm rarely at a loss for something to eat.

What about making a chili in your slow cooker using veggie meat (ex. Yves ground round) instead of meat). A website I like using for recipes is recipezaar.com. If you want to find certain recipes go to the site, select recipes at the top of the web page, then you'll see something that says "open the recipe sifter tool" in…

Quinoa is an alternative to rice and other grains. It is a great source of energy and is gluten free! It's so yummy as a side dish when it's cooked with broth in place of the water.
