Wow, I thought I was the only one who loved cold pizza for breakfast but I guess not... mmmmm Also this morning I made oatmeal, but instead of sugar I put on a bit of butter and salt (I don't like sweet things for breakfast either.) It was really good!

Cool! I too am a nerd :)

Definitely gym- if I get my butt there, I will work out hard... but if there's a couch right next to my workout area, I'm tempted to sit. Or just not to start at all! My absolute favorite thing is doing fitness classes AT a gym- set time, set place, people around you doing the same thing.

I second butternut squash soup!! I make it by first sauteeing onions and garlic, then add chicken/veggie broth. Bring to a boil and add cubed butternut squash, cook until soft (will depend on the size of cubes). Puree with an immersion blender (or countertop blender, but do it in batches and be careful!). It is seriously…

Ugh, I had those in college and it was no fun! Sorry you're dealing with that right now. I found that rotating my ankles to stretch my shins helped quite a lot. Ice and and aleve helps with the pain. Try to go easy on the impact exercises- mine would flare up if I overdid it and it just took longer to heal. I tried to do…

yeah... I am not the biggest fan of Greek yogurt either! But I buy it anyway, here are some ideas: - Add it to smoothies - Mix in Indian spices (turmeric, cumin, coriander, red pepper) and marinate chicken in it - Mix in some ranch powder for a much healthier salad dressing or dip (it's not *quite* the same but it's not…

I have made my own bread for the past several years- it's a lot easier than you think! But be careful.. now I've turned into a bread snob and don't like the store-bought stuff anymore!! :) For cast iron bread, yes, you do want a pan with a lid on it for the best results: when you put the pot into the oven, the water in the…

One of my favorites for Thai curry: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/broiled-tilapia-with-thai-coconut-curry-sauce-10000000348346/ The recipe is good as is, but I always add a little fish sauce and spices (cumin, coriander, cayenne) for more flavor. I usually also add more veggies to the sauce, and you can thin it out with…

Sodium lurks in most processed "foods"- it's a preservative and flavor enhancer. As someone who loves to cook and makes lots of homemade things, I usually don't even come close to 2500 mg of sodium (unless I succumb to my potato chip weakness...mmm). However, I know most people are not this way. In addition to what others…

Thanks everyone!! :)
