Excellent recipe-I tried them and I love them...

Me too-carrot ginger this am

Welcome to the newbies! I joined in January after hearing a doctor on TV mention MFP. Since then I have lost 30 pounds, and discontinued my cholesterol, prednisone and BP medications I have chosen to eat a plant-based plan to do this with no meat and no dairy. Ask me about that if you are interested. I also walk an…

Use coupons, eliminate meat and dairy, add organic!

I don't eat meat or dairy.- Here in Canada we have a non-dairy cheese which I just love. Come in blocks, shredded etc. Have a look at www.daiyafoods.com- maybe it's available other places. Anyway, My favourite breakfast is a baked potato with melted cheese on it. Obviously I use non-dairy cheese, but you could use regular.…

That was one of the first things I did with the MFP settings was adjust the level of sodium to 1500 mg. I also watch cholesterol and calcium. It's very difficult to stay under 1500 mg of sodium, but it's something to aim for. Sodium really is a killer

I eat quinoa nearly everyday, and you have everything for great quinoa cakes. Mix it all together, add some eggs and form into cakes.If it doesn't hold together,never mind. Sautee in a non stick pan. I add dill and cayenne pepper, and kale if i have it. Sometimes i heat it up and coverwth yummy carrot/ginger soup. Enjoy

Cheese is a tough one. I highly recommend a new cheese substitute called Daiya...melts beautifully. They make cheese blocks, slices, shreds,pizza..I love it. Google it or find it on Facebook

There is a group here called Happy Herbivores-come and jopin us.... :-)

If you don't want to fool around with dietary calcium, it's easier to take a supplement. I like the one that is 1200 mg calcium with 1000 IU of Vitamin D since they work together, and there is not much sun in my part of the world at this time of year :glasses:

You can customize your calcium setting by going to goals->change goals. It is set at 1000 mg (it says 100, but that means 1000) If you want to raise it, you would put in 120, I think. 1200 is correct for our age. I have adjusted (down) sodium to 1500. I like the fact that I can do this on this program.

Agree totally.

Most of you sodium is in the soup, I bet. NEVER use canned soup. Make your own sauce with a bit of butter /flour and either milk or broth Easy

Amazing...great incentive

Thanks for that-which one do you have?

Thanks for the advice. These devices are far more $$$ than I expected, but they do a LOT. Anyway, I will keep your emails in mind while I shop. :smile:
