I buy a lot of fresh meat and then freeze it. I definitely keep meat frozen longer than a month, but the meat is wrapped very well, and placed in a freezer bag as soon as I get it home from the store. At the first sign of discoloration or freezer burn, it goes in the trash. There's a good guideline here:…

super tasty! I topped them with lowfat cream cheese frosting: 1 pkg reduced fat cream cheese, softened 1 cup powdered sugar 1 tbl vanilla extract mix together on medium until combined (and it looks like frosting) this can be refrigerated -- I top each cupcake as I eat it :)

thank you for all of your wonderful suggestions! i especially can't wait to try the pasta salad and salsa recipes. yum!

I love them too! Here are my favorites: slice them in 1/2 inch slices, drizzle with olive oil, and grill until cooked. then place on top of greens (optional: sliced onions) and top with a homemade balsamic dressing. or microwave until cooked and smash. top with one egg and salsa.

If you try white albacore in water, the smell is about 1/2 as potent. However, it also has a tendency to have a higher mercury content. So...I guess there is a trade off. I prepare tuna with a little bit of hellman's mayo (about a teaspoon) and a drop of dijon mustard. I also add chopped dill pickles, onion powder, parsley…

thanks for posting! can't wait to make them.

Made this for dinner -- delish!! I used thin sliced chicken breast so I didn't have to pound the chicken. With the thin slices, I only needed 3/4 of a wedge of laughing cow, and 2 thin sliced pieces of ham. They stayed rolled without toothpicks or the use of a muffin tin. I topped with a light spritz of olive oil and grill…

Good Substitutions: spinach, or sundried tomatoes! :smile:

I'm really intrigued, but I'm trying to cut down on artificial sweeteners, in addition to diet sodas. Has anyone tried this with a "natural" soda, or even a flavored seltzer? Thanks!

friday weigh in! :) SW: 135 (last week's weight) CW: 133! yay!

I eat 3, sometimes with a very, very, light snack. I drink water to feel full. My problem is snacking, and I'm a hungry girl. Smaller meals throughout the day make me even more hungry, and since I'm cooking yummy meals for dinner, I want to be able to eat a full portion. :)
