Take one cup of chopped into 1/2 inch dice kimchi with the juice and add 1/2 cup flour, one egg, a chopped green onion and stir. Heat a fry pan with a small amount of oil and pour the batter into it. Brown well on one side. Flip onto a plate, carefully and put back into the pan. Cook the other side until toasted brown. Cut…

Italian dressing. greek dressing roll in parmesian cheese and bake lemon pepper Franks hot sauce or maybe tapatio hot sauce Salsa

Buy no salt added fahjita seasoning and make some chicken, peppers and onions with the seasoning in a crock pot. I slice two or three chicken breasts, add the peppers, onions, mushrooms and the seasoning. Cook on low 2 1/2 hours. I use with low carb ole wraps.

Lentils can be used in tacos, wraps and salads. I cook them in vegetable broth. Brown an onion and some mushrooms in a skillet then toss in two cups cooked lentils and a packet of taco seasoning and a cup of petite tomatoes. Fill wraps or tortillas with lettuce, tomatoes, etc. Nice tacos.

peanut butter, tortillas, dried beans, rice, lentils, corn, Check out hillbilly housewife website, this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hMcMiIIAgA

Cut the leaves up, braise in butter and onions until soft. Add in some sliced kielbasa and cook until heated through.

OK I am up to the challenge. How about Ham Fried Rice in the microwave? If all you have is rice and ham. Dice up some ham, add to a full cup of rice or two, some spices if you have some (dollar tree is a cheap source), some soy sauce , a pinch of dried ginger and sugar and mix well in a large glass bowl which you spray…

Almonds have 243 mg of calcium in cup. Milk has 304 mg. Also, for your reading pleasure: http://www.motherjones.com/tom-philpott/2014/07/lay-off-almond-milk-ignorant-hipsters

Got rid of the crock pot, bought a ninja food system which bakes, crock pots and stove tops. Three appliances in one. Can take it with me in the RV or use on the patio in summer so I don't heat up the house. Food scale, stainless steel measuring spoons and cups in all sizes, good knives, silicone whisks, spatulas, pot…

Cut in half, remove seeds, place in microwave on a plate with two tablespoons of water under it. Cook for 6 minutes. Allow to cool. Cube. Done.

Homemade almond milk. One cup of almonds soaked overnight in 2 cups of water. Drain. Add the drained almonds to the blender (ninja works great) and add 4 cups of cool water and blend. Run through a mesh strainer. The liquid is almond milk. You can add it back to the blender and run two dates in it to sweeten it if you like…

There is nothing weird about it. It just shows that you take your nutrition seriously. There are some really nice and discrete small scales out there. Remember, in life people will judge you no matter what you do, it's your life do what you like.

Sounds like you are looking for crunch and sweet. How about budgeting for a snack of two dates stuffed with almonds. It isn't too high in points, is sweet, crunchy and fills you up!

Fitbit Aria - love it! It is digital and connect to your computer so you don't have to remember the number while you dress, get ready, etc.

Foojoy Jasmine Green tea. It is a lovely cuppa.

I agree on the kefir, kombucha and probiotic foods. It is easy to buy, but tastes best homemade. Again, homemade is better than store bought. When you get to probiotic foods, you have to stress homemade as well, since processed products have been pastureized and lose their probiotic effect. It is more work to produce these…

A good source of vitamin b-12 in natural form is nutritional yeast. I sprinkle it on salads and popcorn. It is very tasty.

Put a squeeze of lime in that mashed avocado and it won't go brown.

I make Vietnamese salad dressing. It is very low in calories and big in taste. Made with fish sauce, a bit of brown sugar, lime juice and water. It is high in sodium but I use such a small amount it isn't a problem with my drinking a gallon of water each day.

Instead of the peanut butter, try almonds or pistachios, and fresh fruit with the oatmeal. Another thing you can do is mix in the white of an egg to boost the protein. They take longer to break down in the stomach and provide a feeling of fullness longer. Other than that, if it isn't working for you move to something new!

Thank you for sharing this. You made and excellent point! Little things add up and not being diligent makes a difference! I don't find this miserable at all. Knowing what works for each of us and doing it is smart.

Sauté with onion and mushrooms and a bit of soy sauce until crisp cooked. Add a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and have with brown rice.

Turkey chili, Turkey meatballs, Greek Turkey Meatballs, Turkey burgers, Haystack dinner, Asian turkey lettuce cups.

My favorite fill me up food is a baked potato (no oil/fat) with broccoli and vegan nacho cheese sauce. Pretty low in calories but nutrient dense.

I cook up several pounds of lean ground turkey at a time. I also do large batches of chicken thighs. I weigh it and put in freezer bags and freeze for grab and makes. Chili, soups and stews in the crock pot on Sunday and freeze in portions. They thaw by lunch or overnight in the refrigerator for dinner the next day. I also…

Have two. Love them! Worth the money. Walmart online has a two pack.
