Any of the South Beach Diet cookbooks. I have tons of cookbooks of all kinds, but the ones I have used the most, and made recipes over and over again, are from the South Beach Diet cookbooks. And not only for me: I have used some of those to prepare meals when I was having company over. Tasty recipes, nobody even knew they…

I am from Montreal, where poutine has been around for quite a while. For the last few years, my take on a ealthier version of this ultimate decadent meal is: - steamed yellow or green beans - cut up cooked chicken (if you have any, otherwise omit) - pizza cheese blend (low fat mozzarella and cheddar) - gravy Seriously,…

Would you consider the following next time? 12 slices whole wheat bread 3 eggs 1 cup skim milk 1 cup low fat buttermilk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 tablespoons brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon of each cinnamon and allspice Berries and sliced bananas. Would serve 6. Mix the ingredients (except bread), heat up a pan (medium), oil…

I have tried them more than once, and yes, at the end of the day, they are nasty. The texture... eeck... For many years now, I have been using zucchini instead of pasta: slice the zucchini very thinly and cook in the microwave for 2-3 minutes. Take out of the microwave, salt and let sit for a minute. Squeeze the extra…

I started using it to 2 years, I was simply curious about the hype around apple cider vinegar. Some people had mentioned taking 2 tablespoons in the morning, straight or diluted in water: tried both ways, gag! I cannot stand sugar, honey or anything of the kind, it makes me grind my teeth (I am weird that way), so I tried…

Bump! :smile:

Sounds great!

All I can say, that would be a waste of good coffee....Wow...

2 cups decaffeinated coffee, Sunrise tofu dessert with berries and 1 rice cake with fake peanut butter.

Miam! Sounds great!

Bump!

I do not have time to eat at home, I prepare my breakfast and have it at the office. I use 3/4 cup 0% fat Oikos or Liberté greek yogurt, sweetened with Splenda and spiced up with cinnamon and vanilla. I add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds and top with 1 cup of frozen mixed berries. By the time I get to eat at the office (2…

In my house, we find that minced turkey or chicken burgers, on their own as a protein, are a bit dense and do not hold well. Our basic recipe is: 1/2 pound (or about) minced turkey or chicken 1 egg 1 tablespoon olive oil Salt, pepper, oinion powder, garlic powder to taste 1/4 cup panko or seasoned bread crumbs For a…

Healthful Pursuit (www.healthfulpursuit.com) is a great site (really!); interesting recipes on Skinnytaste too (www.skinnytaste.com).

I have been doing this for years: in a big Ziploc bag, I marinate the tofu (cut up or in slices) overnight in either chicken or beek stock (condensed not reconstituted, no water added), with seasonings (example: soy sauce, ginger, garlic, grilled sesame oil - just a tad). The next day, I grill the whole batch in a bit of…

Going to try this right now, thanks!

Just added this to my favorites, thanks!:happy:

A piece of fruit with nuts; protein bars (ones you could tolerate); roasted chick peas; bean salad (1/2 cup drained canned beans with a bit of oil, salt, pepper and seasoning - the options are endless); date or fig bars; fresh dates. For now, that's what I could think of.

I do not and I will not have Facebook. I was quite bothered when my 13-year old had to open an account last year because of school, let me tell you. We monitor, but still annoyed.

This is an excellent idea, thanks! I will have to experiment to make it gluten free, but I will certainly give a try very shortly!

Under Tools, there is Recipe Nutrition Facts Calculator; works well.

I have not logged in on daily basis lately due to a crazy work schedule, under heavy stress. I still made efforts to eat well, sometimes relying on a few to many protein bars. I was afraid of the scale. I finally stepped on it and had not gained anything. I said to my husband, who weighs in daily (even is he was naughty),…

Oh, got to try this.. Thank you!

Thank you so much, just downloaded it!

My favorites are: (i) combination of the peanut butter and the caramel spreads, (ii) the chocolate spread topped with raspberries and (iii) the chocolate spread mixed with a…

I will try with gluten free cake mix! Thanks!

I make my own but I like your recipe very much; will also add in the xanthan gum. Thanks!

Thank you!
