I used it to take gum out of my 2 year old's hair last week. It worked like magic! Last week I made popcorn and topped it with coconut oil mixed with chocolate chips and a little salt and it was delicious! I also tried it with coconut oil, cocoa powder and a little sugar and salt- both were good!

I have finished it once and started over a few weeks ago. I have never looked forward to it, but I am always so happy when I've finished it!! It's a great work-out in a short amount of time.

I made this the other day. I added some chicken sausage and stuffed it into green bell peppers. It was easy and delicious!

I've been adding chopped avocado- it's creamy and is full of good fat.

I am making this as we speak.. er write :) http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chili-Rellenos-Casserole/Detail.aspx

I don't have a HRM either- I use High Intensity Aerobics and it seems close to what my friend gets on her HRM. I use the home calisthenics for the recovery video and the Insane Abs. Not perfect, but it gives me some idea.

Have you tried different kinds of brown rice? There is jasmine, basmati, short grain, long grain... We like basmati. Is it a flavor thing or a texture thing? Maybe try cooking it differently. I made Mexican Rice with basmati rice the other day. I made it with 1 cup of rice, 2 cups of water and then added a can of tomato…

I like the music they play in my zumba classes- it's fun and upbeat. Daddy Yankee and Pitbull or other reggaeton music.

We had it for dinner last night. I made it something like this: Rinse Quinoa till no longer foamy . Bring 1 cup of Quinoa, 1 tsp of cumin, 1/2 tsp of salt and 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until Quinoa is tender. Add I can of rinsed garbanzo beans, 1 can of diced tomatoes, 1 cup of…

bump so I remember to post a recipe when I get home

thanks!

I was just reading yesterday about how chocolate contains magnesium and if we have a magnesium deficiency we will crave chocolate. I haven't done much research on it- but it's worth reading about.

I love Fage too! My 1 and 3 year old do too. I have tried a few other brands- but I am pretty loyal. I am obsessed with the cherry one for a high protien treat. I usually get mine in the large containers so its cheaper and use it as a sour cream substitute and have been adding it to recipes that call for sr cream or other…

I started Insanity in Sept and didn't finish( never got to the max workouts)- I got injured and then Thanksgiving came around. So I started again after Thanksgiving and got 2 about 2 workouts from the end before going on Vacation- so I would say I "finished' - I just couldn't do the last 2 workouts. I thought the 2nd half…

I finished it and am in the best shape ever! I have muscles everywhere- and even my husband (who hasn't done any of the workouts) says he loves insanity! LOL I have noticed that my endurance has increased significantly when I do Zumba and I can run faster than ever before. I feel great and am starting to look great. I lost…

I had a feeling.. but I still prefer butter :)

This may be more Thai- but it was good and had less calories in mine than it says on allrecipes. I added 2 peeled potatoes and left out the chile paste. Even my 1 and 3 year old ate it- with Jasmine Rice. According to MFP my calories for the recipe plus rice was just 300. It is very filling. Coconut Curry Tofu Ingredients…

very interesting! Glad we switched to pure butter a while back. Good to know it's better for my kids to grow up eating the real thing!

I'm making it for dinner tonight- http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Quinoa-with-Chickpeas-and-Tomatoes/Detail.aspx I haven't tried it before. I am in love with this one-http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Quinoa-and-Black-Beans/Detail.aspx I substitute one can of the beans with diced tomatoes and add greek yogurt and shredded cheese…

I find it impossible to stay under my sugar. A grapefruit which is supposed to be one of the best diet foods will put you right over. I track it and am aware of it but I do not worry about it unless it is white sugar from a latte or chocolate or something. Some people say that even though it is fruit sugar it is still not…

It is like honey you can use it in anything you use honey or sugar in like tea, on a grapefruit on pancakes or waffles... It also comes in different flavors. I get it at the regular grocery store.

I weigh myself everyday.. but I "weigh in" on Monday mornings. I started weighing in on a Monday and have just kept with it. I always weigh more on Mondays than on Fridays.. maybe I should switch.

I just did this for the first time yesterday- put about 1/3 cup of regular popcorn in a brown paper lunch bag, fold it over tightly a few times and put it in the microwave for about 2 1/2 minutes. Microwave popcorn! Without the crappy stuff they put on the kind you buy at the store and way cheaper! I gave it to my kids…

Black beans and quinoa- it was really good! http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Quinoa-and-Black-Beans/Detail.aspx

I made this Quinoa and Black Beans recipe last night and we loved it! I put in a can of diced tomatoes and only 1 can of beans. It was around 300 calories per serving with 14 grams of protein and 10 grams of fiber. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Quinoa-and-Black-Beans/Detail.aspx ps I put a bit of sour cream and a little…

Whoever entered them may have used a lot of oil on them. You should probably double check.

I know this is a post about quick fixes- but if you ever want to make your own beans- here is a really easy crock pot recipe! I made them twice last week. They don't need any oils or grease and are very tasty! http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Refried-Beans-Without-the-Refry/Detail.aspx They took about 6 hours in my crock pot…

I have been doing Insanity and love it! I got my videos on Craigslist. I have 2 small kids and working out at home takes me half as much time as it would to get my kids ready, drive to the gym, take a shower, come home. It is a great work out and you don't need any equipment. I also used to do some of the Jillian Michael's…
