You can make your own ranch dressing with sour cream or plain greek yogurt and a ranch dressing seasoning packet. If you don't want the packaged seasoning, you can make your own here. Edit: just found this too, the recipe is even easier!

I'm inclined to believe you, but going to a food shelf IS embarrassing. There's a free dinner at the church across the street from me every night. I've gone when I'm the most desperate, but otherwise, I don't like to. Yes, it's free for all, but it's discouraging and the other people that go do not make it a good…

Which city? I live in downtown Minneapolis and our food prices are decent for most everything. I shop at Target, local chain groceries, and Aldi.

You can make your own tortilla chips in the oven using corn tortillas and either spray oil or a light tossing of olive oil. Add some meat, veggies, and salsa on top for nachos!

Really? 4oz cans are the little ones. Most places here have the generic brand at $0.79-$1.00. Name brand may be more than a dollar, but less than 2.

1. Tuna is less than a dollar for a 4oz can. Where the hell do you buy tuna? 2. You have a butt-load of milk in there. That costs way more than tuna. 3. SuperCook.com allows you to enter what you have in your kitchen and it will return recipes that use those ingredients. 4. Yes, you've posted about this before. If you are…

I throw it frozen in anything that simmers on the stove or in the crockpot. Most recently I added it to pasta as it was boiling and crockpot chili.

My coworkers were just talking about it today. You don't have to buy a whole system or program to use it. If one product in particular looks good, you can buy it alone. If you don't get stuck in the whole MLM thing, I'm sure it's just like any other supplement brand.

Food costs money, man. If you are just barely making rent without feeding yourself adequately, you need to look at either how much you are spending on rent or how much you're making between work and student loans. Last resort, check into welfare or food shelves. If you're really that hard up that you can't buy chicken,…

No one is trying to be negative here. Your recipe looks delicious and we just want to know how to make it! A lot of us like to be as precise as possible with our calories since that's a lot of what the MFP program entails.

I agree with this. You gotta be more specific. You can literally eat anything and it will be good for you in moderation. Are you looking for meals, snacks, breakfast, lunch, dinner? What do you like to eat? What don't you like to eat? Get out of the mindset that chicken is the only thing "good for you." You'll get bored of…

I've found the recipe editor really doesn't work on apps. It should work on the website though.

If you want something sweet, cottage cheese is the way to go. You can flavor it up so many different ways. I prefer more savory snacks, so my go-to snacks right now are roasted edamame (found in the bulk section of the grocery) and turkey sticks (similar to Slim Jim, but more like meat and less like leather).

You can get canned chicken and tuna for cheap. They are precooked so you don't need to heat them up if you don't want. You can make chicken or tuna salad with those. You can also improve your ramen by adding veggies, egg, or meat. Buy frozen veggies which are cheaper and last longer. Buy a tube of ground beef or turkey,…

I haven't had many traditional Thanksgivings since I was a kid, but I'll tell you what I remember loving the most. First off, sweet potatoes with marshmallows are DEFINITELY one of the best things. Other favorites include:* Turkey (I like white meat the best) * Mashed potatoes with butter and gravy * Cranberry sauce (you…

http://www.buzzfeed.com/lindsayhunt/delicious-ways-to-use-ricotta-cheese#.yuWKX7ozR7 Buzzfeed Food just went on a crazy ricotta kick this past week. They even have an article on how to make your own. Not all of these recipes are necessarily low-cal, but they are good!

Man, I missed your face. You're right. I shouldn't have suggested something so full of chemicals and frankengenes.

BRAT (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) if you're having any intestinal distress. If you're feeling more of a head cold, go for that chicken soup. There are more natural/organic kinds in the "health food" section of the grocery store.

Sorry, but your instructions are unclear. You need to include the amount of each ingredient you are using and how many servings it makes. You say later that it makes 4 servings, yet your picture shows only 2 (maybe three if there's one peeking out in the back). People are disputing the amount of calories because you don't…

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/welcome/guidelines This community guideline may have something to do with it. The best appetite suppressant with no negative side effects is WATER. Full your belly with hydration and you'll be less hungry. Sometimes our bodies think they are hungry when they are actually thirsty.

Greek yogurt in everything!

Don't stay in a relationship that is harmful to you. Start saving money on your own or ask for family support to get out of there. Don't allow ANYONE to talk to you like he does. You don't deserve it. If he calls you "fat" and "lazy," how much respect will he have for your daughter as she grows up? Don't let her grow up…

Food is not good or bad. Some food has more calories than others. Some foods have different macronutrient ratios. Some foods make you feel differently after you eat them. You are attaching your own value system to the food. If eating a cookie makes you feel like fat is instantly accumulating on your body, you do not have a…

All these things are vegan:

What? :/
