I make a very similar recipe, but I omit the butter and substitute about 1/4 of the flour for ground flax. Sometimes I throw a little canned pumpkin in there, or use honey instead of sugar and cut the volume in half. I usually bake mini muffins instead of a loaf. It's hard to screw up!

yum.

I am totally going to use this as a pizza crust ...

You could also try subbing light coconut milk for the cream. I agree with using light cream cheese too. I say skip the butter altogether, but keep the parmesan!

Trying to avoid snack-attacks is sound advice, but I am happier switching to "healthier" snack alternatives. Give these a try: - Frozen bananas (as is or blended), with 95% fat free coolwhip - Air popped popcorn with a light topping (taco seasoning, icing sugar/cinnamon/cocoa) - Chickpea cookie dough, frozen in tiny balls…

I live for spaghetti squash. I find I can use it in any traditional pasta dish and it's extremely satisfying. It tends to be a bit crunchier than pasta, but I enjoy this texture. You could also supplement a small portion of pasta with spaghetti squash. Bulk up your meal without all those calories!

I just measured my wrist and it's 6.7 inches! I'm only 5'6, so I guess that puts me in the "large" frame category. My sister is an imagining technician and always rants about how she wants to x-ray my big hands. We often joke about the "man hands" episode of seinfeld. I think your frame can definitely impact your weight,…

So many options....

Am I the only one who thinks level 3 is way harder than level 2? The plyos are killer!

I noticed vast improvements in my skin since I started eating a more balanced diet (which includes cheese, milk, and lots of yogurt). I think everyone's body is different, but it hasn't been necessary for me to cut out dairy to lose weight and have better skin.

Sub avocado for the oil and we're in business

Yum.

Surely you could make these from scratch to meet your dietary needs. Even the haters could enjoy them! http://dessertswithbenefits.com/homemade-pop-tarts/

Spaghetti Squash Alfredo - Sauce: cream of mushroom soup, coconut milk, mushrooms, garlic, green onion, red pepper, parmesan (let it simmer to thicken while the squash is baking) - Spaghetti: bake a whole squash in the oven at 400 for about an hour, poking holes pre-bake so the squash can breathe Eggplant Rollatini - Cut…

I try to make something I've never had before at least once a week. If it's good, I add it to my regular regime. I'm starting to build quite the recipe arsenal!

I'm in grad school as well so I can relate to this. Preparation, especially on weekends, has been key. Here are some suggestions that have worked for me: 1. http://www.budgetbytes.com/ This website has all kinds of cheap big-batch recipes, and they're all healthy and delicious!

For some added protein, try adding some tuna to the mix.

Must try this!
