Salt, pepper and Cholula chipotle hot sauce

It's all about what is more important to the individual. It's not all about calories to some people. I would eat those but would definitely not eat regular pancakes or cookies.

I make my own almond butter but, if you're going to buy it, just make sure that the only ingredient is almonds...and maybe salt. Many brands put in a ton of unnecessary sugar.

I have been following South Beach guidelines for many, many years. I was never overweight but had a few pounds to lose. I lost those pounds and have maintained. I have never/will never track calories. The only thing I have ever measured is nuts. I do, however, spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Good luck!

These are my family's favorites: http://callhimyeschef.com/2013/02/19/carnitas-under-pressure/ http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/11/carne-guisada-latin-beef-stew.html http://www.pressurecookingtoday.com/pressure-cooker-mongolian-beef/ http://thedomesticman.com/2015/01/20/instant-stew/

I make my own salsa so it's not high in sodium. As far as a recipe, what I do is roast two trays of vegetables (zucchini, yellow squash, asparagus, cauliflower, etc.) at 425 until nicely browned. Spray a large pyrex and add the vegetables and mix in fresh spinach. I add egg whites just to cover and bake at 350 for 35…

I always have a roasted vegetable egg casserole topped with some kind of chicken (this week it's chicken verde) and fresh salsa.

There is no way I could eat this for a day never mind for a week.

I just made this and it was really good http://www.slenderkitchen.com/recipe/slow-cooker-beef-adobado. I substituted flank steak for the brisket. This is definitely one of my favorites http://www.skinnytaste.com/2014/03/crock-pot-carne-guisada-latin-beef-stew.html

Penzeys is great!!

I make a roasted vegetable and egg casserole and top it with chicken verde and salsa.

I don't know where you live or if you have them by you but Stop and Shop carries the whole line.

Enlightened roasted fava beans (sriracha is my favorite)

Enlightened Sriracha Roasted Fava Beans

Take a look at skinnytaste.com. Everything I have made from there (which is a lot) is great!

I made these yesterday with poblano peppers...so good!

I have the Duo60.

I got mine a few weeks ago and absolutely love it! I don't know how I lived without it!

I do the same with green beans, also with Tony's

90% of the time, I am cooking two different meals, like you, one for me and one for my husband and son. The other 10% we eat the same protein. What I tend to do is batch cook for me over the weekend, portion it out and freeze it. Since I do this just about every weekend, I have a large variety to choose from. I make sure…

Take a look at skinnytaste.com. I have never made anything on there that wasn't great!

I haven't stopped using it since it was delivered!!! Last night's dinner was http://callhimyeschef.com/2013/02/19/carnitas-under-pressure/ It was so good! Will definitely be making it again...soon!

That calorie count is definitely way off.

I got my Instant Pot and haven't stopped using it!

About $200+ a week for me, my husband, 20 year old son and dog (I make her food) in New Jersey. We rarely eat out (maybe once every few months). I pack my lunch but my husband, when he has time to eat, buys his as does my son. I would say a good portion is spent on snack food for my husband and that I make two different…

I've brought mini stuffed peppers many times. Cut the peppers in half and flatten them. I fill them with whatever shredded meat I feel like making (pulled pork, shredded chicken, shredded beef) and top it with almond cheese and pickled jalapeno . So good!

Just make sure you get all natural where the ingredients are just peanuts and sometimes salt. It's very low and sugar and tastes much better.

You should look on here http://newleafwellness.biz/ She has so many ideas

Yes please!!

I usually get either chicken or shimp fajita no rice, beans (don't like beans) or tortillas with a side of vegetables. So, I just mix the fajita meat with the vegetables and salsa and, of course, some hot sauce. So good!
