I like to make cabbage in tomato sauce. I chop up a head of cabbage and saute it off in a large pot/dutch oven with a little butter, stirring often to keep the bottom leaves from scorching then when it is mostly softened (sometimes I like to keep it a little chewy) I take out the cabbage (try to leave any liquid that…

I just baked some tilapia tonight for dinner. I'd like to try something new next time but I usually just keep it simple and put them on a foil lined sheet and coat both sides with cajun seasoning (though I got my hands on some Old Bay and boy has that been a tasty addition!) and bake at around 350-375 degrees for about 10…

My final straw was when I was spending time with my family and we were joking about school, and we started talking about gym class. Somehow we ended up daring each other to doing as many push-ups/sit-ups as you can do in one minute. I figured that I'd be fine because I was pretty active in school as far a gym class. My…

I got my first tattoo(s) done in the same day in January 2006. I had been going through so many ideas for designs, and finally got it worked out. Originally I was going to have the Disturbed Smiley Face be on the inside of the tribal sun. Then my husband suggested that I do them separately and put wings in the sun instead.…

"Strawberry Tomato This drink is full of phytonutrients including lycopene (proven to have anticancer properties) 7 oz of strawberries 14 oz of tomatoes (approx 2-3) A few basil leaves " I'm curious about this one, I'll have to pick up some tomatoes and try it, I have plenty of fresh basil and some frozen strawberries I'd…

We mixed a Mocha packet in with some cool whip and it was just delightful... I can't wait to try some other flavor combinations! jo

This sounds so tasty! Gonna have to get some zucchini and try this soon! jo

I got the Mission brand tortillas at Walmart that are 40 cal each (the pkg says 120 for 3, but the math is right, lol). They are the extra thin corn tortillas that I get, not sure if they have a thicker kind, but this one works perfectly for me. I spray them with a little cooking spray, and just a touch of kosher salt and…

This sounds really good, I'll have to make a point to pick up the beans, chiles, and seasoning the next chance I get! Thanks for sharing! jo

I feel the same freakin' way, lol. My hubby was talking about buying more sets from the dollar store. But I like the Dixie Cup idea, I've also been keeping note of how much certain amounts fill up specific bowls/containers, and sometimes mark it off with a sharpie. jo

Sounds good, I'll have to pick those up next time I'm at the store and try this, my husband loves strawberry and we could use a change in dessert :) Thanks for sharing! jo

Wow I love this idea! Thanks for sharing :) jo

My family has a Frittata every year the day before Easter. We usually put ricotta cheese, fresh mozzarella, asparagus, pepperoni, and onions in ours. We're going to have to revamp it to make it a healthier omelet this year, lol.

I love doing these types of survey topics :) [1] What is your name? : Jennifer, Jen, JJ, Jo, etc. etc... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [2] Why did you choose your username? : I've been Silent Jo for about 10 years now. I am very shy and quiet unless I'm familiar with the people or surroundings I'm around.…

Just made this again for some friends who are hanging out here. They loved it as well! This time I had some of my sister's fiance's homemade salsa to add to it, they are so good! jo

I ended up getting both of my tattoos in the same session. I'd been planning and designing these for years. Originally the smiley face was going to go inside the sun, but later on decided to do them as separate tattoos. I've been wanting new ones ever since, and have been getting together ideas for more, but I think I'm…

That looks nice! I'm wanting to get another tattoo, I'm thinking song lyrics around the tribal sun tattoo I already have. But I think I'm going to make that a reward for meeting one of my Short Term weight loss goals. Plus I think I should wait until after my sister's wedding since the dress is sleeveless, lol. jo

I bought my ingredients yesterday, going to try this over the weekend, been thinking about them ever since I saw this topic, lol. jo

I made these tonight, and my hubby and I both loved them! As it turned out I didn't have any soy sauce on hand, so I subbed in a few packets of Taco Bell Border Sauce to give it a Mexican flavor, and subbed 2% shredded Cheddar cheese for the Mozzarella. We really enjoyed it, this is such a versatile dish, you can flavor…

http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/mini_mushroom_sausage_quiches.html I just made exactly what you described AirCircle, what a coincidence. I made them tonight for breakfast tomorrow. I tried one and they are so good! I look forward to doing them again and changing it up with different veggies and fillings. jo

Bump is when someone wants to move a topic back to the top of the list but doesn't have anything to add. They're "bumping" it back to the top. This sounds like a good dessert, but I'm not familiar with ketones, how would they cancel out the sugar in the recipe? jo

That sounds so good! I recently discovered the joy of Nutella and was worried I would have to cut it out of my diet. But this is a great idea, I was thinking about getting some Popsicle molds and making some homemade fruit bars or something. Thanks again! jo
