bump- these sound really good, thanks for Sharing :)

Beef Fried Rice from the Kraft Recipe http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/beef-fried-rice-97866.aspx I made it last night, I omitted green onions, and added the juice from the mandarin oranges in place of the actual oranges, also added about 2 TB of Teriyaki sauce to it. My picky 2 yr old and husband BOTH enjoyed it also!…

I try to precut my veggies ahead of time-- I find that I will use them more if I can get to them quickly. I try to that on a day that isn't busy, like a Sunday afternoon/evening or Saturday morning. Also a lot of the frozen veggies work great also, as long as you check the lables and make sure there is nothing added to…

Thanks for the eyeopener! I've been drinking this for about a week & half (one for lunch) not knowing all this ... I will be cutting this out of my diet and go back to straight water!!

Grokette, I just have to say that I totally agree with you. If we don't buy it, they won't sell it. I make homemade meals 4-5 days a week for me and my family and I don't get home from work until 6:30pm. I make the time to do it because I know it's better for me and my family.

I have Cuisinart® WeighMate™ Digital Kitchen Scale, bought it at Bed Bath & Beyond. It's a basic scale (which is what I wanted) and it does the job. Measures in Grams & Oz. Here's a link: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=16210315

I think it's one can of pumpkin per box of mix-- can anyone else confirm?

Awesome!! I can't believe the fat difference if you use pumpkin rather then oil!! So that is great to know!!

I've made egg-mug recipes with regular eggs before and you have to make sure you scramble regular eggs really, really well before you cook in the microwave... I made one with egg beaters, green peppers and low fat mozzarella cheese! It was yummeee!

I made this receipe for Halloween weekend and everyone loved it! Next time I am thinking to use this for frosting a cake!!

This one sounds really good- I think I am going to try this one! Fresh Pumpkin Soup This appealing soup harvests the fall flavors of just-picked pumpkins and tart apples...and is sure to warm you up on a crisp autumn day. Jane Shapton of Portland, Oregon tops the creamy puree with a sprinkling of toasted pumpkin seeds 9…

This low fat cream of pumpkin soup is perfect on a cold fall day, or as an appetizer for a Thanksgiving dinner. A spoonful of plain low fat yogurt can be swirled in…

How do you know which pumpkins are for eating?? I wan to buy a fresh one but I do not know the difference... PLEASE help :)

I make almost this same recipe except I add taco seasoning and a TB chopped green chile sauce to the soup mixture, just for some extra flavor. It is delicious!

This sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing.

I try to add to my excercise routine at least once a week-- Jillian Michaels kicks my butt!! If you have Comcast Ondemand, they run it under there in the fitness/excercise section and you can do it for free!

I make Ground Turkey Tacos all the time and always looking for a low fat, good for you tortilla. I just found "La Tortilla Factory - Smart & Delicious Low Carb High Fiber Whole Wheat Tortilla", I think I got them at Kroger's. They are very filling and loaded with good ingredients! I hope that helps :)

I am terrible at using my crock pot :( but I would like to use it more and become better at it! Thanks for this thread and look forward to more yummy (and healthy) recipes!!

I work 8:30-5pm but leave my house at 7:30am to drop off my son at daycare and do not get home until 6:15-6:30pm. I usually do my workout after I put my son to bed which is between 830-9pm. I usually do my workouts from Comcast Ondemand because they are free, they have a excercise area and I will usually rotate between a…
