Duh! what we call Shepard's pie around here was originally made with lamb/mutton instead of the common beef. Thanks for reminding me.

We raised the lamb to 7 months, so It defintly was still a lamb, but we have primitive breed- Icelandics, which have a stronger muttony taste... the cuts still had a lot of the silver skin lining/fat, and after removing it, the flavor is much better... But still looking for some recipes for variety, this spring we will…

I noticed that a few days ago you only ate approx 1750 calories, but burned off almost 1100 from exercise. It means that you were netting only 650 that day... If this is typical it could be pushing your metabolism too hard, and it is slowing down... You need more to eat... Also string cheese has lots of sodium, which could…

I eat whole foods also, well as much as my budget allows at the moment. lots of homemade items, lean meats, veggies. items with little extra ingredients etc... I prefer organics, although I occasionally have some quicker foods, since my hubby can't cook from scratch. I found that the healthier you eat, the less the junk…

Tons of delish sounding recipes! Will have to try some.

Yep the downside to eating healthy. The healthier you eat, more ill you feel from junk.... Upside- Makes cheat days just not worth the effort... Milk chocolate and reese just taste icky to me now, after eating dark chocolate for years.

Wow! The husband is being very childish... I have different dietary needs/wants than my husband, and I am the cook in the house. Often If my hubby wants some red meat he will thaw it out before hand I will cook on the side, if I have the time or motivation, If not, he cooks it himself later. Same goes if I make something…

Sound like me when I was younger... I had severe Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Or you might have thyroid issues. I suggest you mentioned it to your doctor

sounds great! Ill have to try it sometime.

One point no one brought up Is how much is this lab engineer "meat" going to cost? I highly doubt that it would be cost efficient to lab grow it. Personally even if It was affordable I wouldn't eat it. I have found bacon yummy, but it makes me ill. I also have an aversion to genetically altered foods. I have been…

Is it common for those of us with fibro to have asthmatic issues and chemical sensitivity? I have been recently diagnosed with fibro due to pain issues, but have had issues with strong perfumes, cleaning supplies, and medications both with skin irritation and asthmatic reactions all my life. My doctors have looked at me in…

My food triggers are often artificial sweeteners, caffeine, large amounts of salt and preservatives such as sulfates/sulfides Cold and Damp together are also triggers for me.

A lot of these sound yummy. Saving for later.

I used to believe that since I was paper thin and hypoglycemic through my teens and early 20's that I would be able to eat anything and everything and not have to worry about weight gain ever...

Ah the my recipes is much easier to navigate.. I was using the my foods tab, in which took forever, since I had to figure every number out by myself. Thanks! As for homemade I grew up with homemade due to our financial circumstances so learned how to cook real foods, and I have never been able to eat convince foods since…

We had salmon last night Mixed a teaspoon each of Dijon Mustard, Honey and olive oil together Coated the top of the skinless fillets with this mixture then sprinkled with rosemary, sea salt and fresh cracked pepper Broiled at 350 for about 30 to 40 min Very yummy slightly sweet- even my salmon hating son said it was okay!
