stop jumping on the scale sweetheart!! it is the most evil thing in the house.. take your measurements.. and track that way and just weigh in on your weigh in day Each day the body will fluxuate with water weight and waste . dont get disgouraged, this does take time. If this was a quick fix everyone would be thin. :)

thanks.. happy day to you

awesome twist on this.. Paula is a great chef but her food is super fatten!! She has two restaurants about 3 hrs from my house in South GA on the coast and my dad has been there and he said it was awesome but he was so yuck feeling from eating it all.. I have her cook books and her sons. ~CHEF JENN~

Chef Jenn Homemade Taco Seasoning ( cut out the sodium) ok so I make all my own spices at home. I dont buy anything in a packet from the store. I also do not buy sauces in a jar I make them at home as well. Along with mayo, dipping sauces, dressings , etc.. This helps so you know what your putting in your body and two you…

Look in my blog and use my taco seasoning. it has no salt in it. and is better than the packet stuff. or you can rub it in EVOO and sprinkle some herbs on it and sear it in a saute pan on each side till golden and pop in the oven to finish cooking.

wow to see someone else who knows about tahini paste!!! There are sooo many items that ppl dont know about that can create a whole new level of meals in the kitchen. I play with so many things. I have a spice cabinet that could fill a shopping cart ~Chef Jenn~

if you make these more a dice cut they will cook better and absorb the seasoning better. I normally dice my pots and put them in a bowl then add my oil toss them around. then I mix all my spices together and sprinkle them on to my pots when i lay them out on the cooking sheet. ~Chef Jenn~

lamb is a great meat, and it is not served enough in the states. so lean!!

ok Im going to sound neg but Im a Director of Operations for Concessions for the Atlanta Falcons in the GA DOME. You should really eat before going..

i would say know your going to be doing stop and go walking but write down the time you enter the park and then the time you leave the park.

Just know its ok to enjoy a nice treat but it is hard to not eat a ton of them. it took me years to learn I just cant eat them. I look at my hips and know I might as well glue that sweet…

that sounds like correct amounts to make it caramelize , how thick did you make them. They might need to be thinner than what we are use to buying in the store. these sounds awesome btw :)

what was your recipe for it, what ingredient was called to hold them together. I would suggest maybe setting them up in the freezer to set for 10 mins. you may have to change the yield in the recipe to make it more sticky
