  • The Saucy Wench? Sauce-a-palooza? I also like Let's Get Sauced from SassJess' post. If I found that in a search engine, I'd click. :)

  • I have used Greek low-fat yogurt cut with a little skim milk to the consistency of mayo for tuna salad. But I don't add pickles to it, because I think that would be too tangy. Tuna, chopped celery and red onion, a tablespoon of chopped parsley and just enough yogurt to hold it together, salt & pepper to taste. In the…
    in Tuna Salad without Mayo Comment by cbrooks1232 February 2013
  • Yes, see that's it exactly. I am fat for a reason and journaling honestly helps me see my specific issues very clearly. For example, allowed myself to have a cheat day yesterday and went about 550 calories over my goal. Of course I knew the calories were high. But by recording the foods on MFP, I could also see what that…

  • Ladies! Hello, my name is Cindy. I just joined MFP last week. I am from the Rivah City, which most of you probably know as Richmond VA. I am not a southern belle though because most of my childhood was in the Great State of Kansas, as the daughter of an Army officer. I love to cook. And I love to eat what I cook. And I…

  • If you want produce that tastes better, get it at a farmer's market or (even better) grow it yourself. Whether organic or conventional, mass farmed produce has to withstand the rigors of shipping, so it is selected on that basis. Foods that do not have to travel as far can be grown for taste. There is nothing better…

  • Hi! I am new to MFP, but not new to hot flashes! I had a hysterectomy (TAH/BSO for those "in the know") last year and that shot me right into surgical menopause. No gradual slide for this gal, LOL. My hot flashes honestly don't bother me all that much. I have learned to dress in layers, both in the summer and winter and am…

  • That's a good one. I am always scurrying to get to work on time myself. I have one that I started making this week that is delicious and QUICK. Take a frozen buckwheat waffle, and pop it in the toaster. (I thaw mine while I am in the shower, I like 'em crispy) When done, put on a plate, add 2T of PB and 1T of raisins. Fold…

  • For lunch this week I took 6-8 1/4" slices of toasted whole wheat baguette and slathered on some part-skim ricotta cheese. That and a cup of fresh sliced strawberries. That totaled about 380 calories. It was fantastic!

  • Oh, you really need to get Ellie Krieger's "The Food You Crave" and Bon Appetit's "Fast Easy Fresh". I adore cooking (that's sort of why I am here). But both of these books have recipes that are very easy and friendly for cooks of all abilities. Ellie Krieger is just the best ever at healthy eating. Her recipes are simple,…

  • Hi, I am 51 years old and started MFP this week. Glad to see some old gals here with me!! Started at 212 with a mid goal of 185 and and end goal of 145, so roughly 65 lbs. BTW I love being the age I am. Love it. Except for that achy joint thing. What's up with that?
