Italian Chicken is one of our favorites. Love coming home to a warm dinner ready in my crock pot on a cold day, and love not heating up my house by using the oven on a hot day so we use this recipe year round. Put boneless chicken breasts (it's fine if you forget and they're still frozen) in your crock pot. Pour on a can…

Becoming aware that happiness, like all emotions, is fleeting. Joy and sorrow, they both come and go. The "happiness" most of us seek is actually contentment. For me contentment comes from understanding the worthy purpose of my life and keeping faithful to that purpose. The things that gratify change (frequently) over…

I like cottage cheese and Greek yogurt in mine too! Depending on the texture you prefer, maybe add chickpeas (some people call them garbanzo beans)? If you enjoy a little crunch (ex. celery) you'd probably enjoy them too :-) If you eat meat and like tuna, you could do what you're doing and add tuna...so it would…

I can hear in your post that you're disappointed with your body. But really, I think you might be amazed if you think about it... in the decade since high school you have created and given birth to 4 human beings!!! Now that's an amazing and strong body!! And mothering them is a whole other level of superhero strength.…

Great suggestions for iron rich foods, so I'll just add a reminder to be sure to get enough vitamin C to absorb it too.

Today I'm grateful for empathetic and honest auto mechanics who go out of their way to be helpful, beautiful blue skies, and a plethora of flavors of Greek yogurt to choose from at the market.

Chicken salad sounds delicious today. When I make tuna/chicken salad now I use plain Greek yogurt or cottage cheese in place of the mayo and it comes out just the same.

Looks so good, worth heating up the oven for!
-
Thanks for the thread! Today, I feel most grateful for... ...MFP, and that it's free so I can participate! I'm grateful for the insanely delicious pleasure of home grown tomatoes every summer. I'm grateful for nurses and hospice volunteers, especially for how their gentle ways miraculously soothe us all. I'm grateful for…

Do you like tuna?
-
Looks yummy, I'm going to try it.... thanks!
-
The grocery stores here sell them, in the "healthy foods" bulk bin section.

So sorry to hear your dilemma. A colleague of mine when faced with somewhat similar challenges engaged the assistance of their family pediatrician. The doctor referred her to our local pediatric hospital for a special program designed to help families in situations like yours. It includes counseling (as advised by others…

Kept searching, maybe it's higher in lactose? Here's a link to a brochure from the National Dairy Council.... http://www.nationaldairycouncil.org/SiteCollectionDocuments/education_materials/cheese/Health%20Professional%20Cheese%20Nutrition%20Brochure%20Final.pdf

Me too, SF cheesecake jello pudding with plain Fage plain Greek Yogurt... delightful!! I also like to dip banana or sliced apples in the cocoa flavored PB2 powder, yummo.

You're comparing apples and oranges. In the US, at least in public schools, every child has a right to a free education. Every single one. (Sorry--this reply is in response to TheDoctorDana's post not the OP)

Think ahead....look at the people in your life who have had long enduring marriages to help you imagine. Life happens. People grow older. Sometimes they get sick. What would happen if you were diagnosed with breast cancer and needed to have a double mastectomy? Would you want someone beside you who loves YOU, the person…

String cheese :-)
-
Light string cheese usually. Also I like one snack size frozen fudge bar (they're made by Weight Watchers but sold in grocery stores)...like a Fudgecicle with a little added protein and fiber. Or a few Tootsie Roll midgees.
-
Would it be culturally acceptable if you were to package up in a container and save the food for later rather than throw it away during lunch? Maybe in that act frugal would be a way to show appreciation too? Perhaps it's wasting food that is problematic rather than the issue of not finishing it all in one setting?
-
Like others have mentioned... we love it with a ranch packet stirred in to make a dip for veggies, fresh seasonal fruits, in place of sour cream and mayo.....but, I also really enjoy it with about 1/4 of a packet of Jello Sugar Free Fat Free Cheesecake flavored pudding, delicious :-).
-
Thanks!
-
You are unique! Lovely gesture, your compassion makes me smile :-)
-
If you don't already, you might consider taking a multivitamin to balance out a few weeks of rocky nutrition. Healthy proteins would probably be a good choice to keep you going strong, something like a handful of almonds. Light and fresh snacks, like baby carrots or fresh fruit set well. If you're in a dorm or have a safe…
-
Not really a recipe...but simply dip sliced apples in the plain, or sliced bananas in the chocolate flavored.
-
Have you ever seen Edible Arrangements? Maybe something like that? More pricy than a birthday cake (or a basket of fruit) but equally festive! http://www.ediblearrangements.com/?c=1

Not sure how to quote from there to here, but last month mmerry5 shared this recipe on drocknoel's personal chef free advice thread... "I make a Beef Lentil Soup that is fairly high protein and is healthy and delicious. 1 lb stew beef (or any lean beef) cut into small chunks 1 cup chopped Celery 1 cup Chopped carrots 1 cup…

Can't "hear" the difference, these are all the same to me too. Wow, I never realized!!
-
Didn't realize I could when I first started and soon had a surprising misstep eating out at a neighborhood restaurant (with a salad!). Happily a thread similar to this popped up about that time so I embraced this trick and have pre-logged every since, usually several days ahead while I'm at it. Turns out for me it's been…
