  • We've discovered a recipe for Quinoa Stuffed Peppers from the back of the box (Ancient Harvest brand), and we love it better than any recipe with meat. It has a wonderful flavor. I haven't put this recipe into mfp, first because we can't seem to figure out how to access them in the "recipe data base". Quinoa Stuffed…

  • I don't like most white foods: sour cream, cream cheese, mayonaisse, cottage cheese, yogurt etc. I think they are basically "rotten" foods. I read about brushing your teeth in the shower in magazine article---the idea was to save time by multi-tasking. I tried it, but didn't feel there was a "clean" place to lay my…

  • Hang in there. This is tough, and if we learn how to do it right, a life long journey. I'm trying to educate myself as much as possible about healthy foods and a healthy lifestyle. I think ultimately that's what we all want. The slim & fit bod that metamorphasizes from these practices will be a super bonus !! Don't give up…

  • Welcome. I love this site. Did the personal trainer suggest a weight gain due to building muscle, which weighs more than fat? If so, you will be losing inches even if you don't see it in the pounds right away.

  • I'm pretty sure this recipe makes 12 muffins. They have a really great texture and kind of nutty flavor since you are using the oats to make oat flour. The original recipe I had called for just the egg white. I'm sure you could add the yolk, you would just have to add the nutritional value of the yolk into the recipe if…

  • Really sorry. I copied the recipe from another application. I see that it has combined the ingredient list with the cooking directions. You should be able to find an intact recipe by googling Gourmet light and searching for "spicy turkey meatloaf" :flowerforyou:

  • This "Spicy Turkey Meatloaf" is one of my families favorites. It was featured in a Gourmet Light magazine. I'll never go back to a beef meatloaf. This is, by far, the very best ever.

  • Hi Diann, I've worked with my weight for many years, some times managing it better than other times. Unfortunately, I know the quick fixes aren't long lasting, and ultimately, I think that is what we are all seeking. A long term solution to a life long issue. It's about educating yourself on the nutrition of food, learning…
