Soup is also a good option. This soup is low calorie and tasty: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/chicken-corn-chili-recipe.html Just don't add the cheese into the soup. Put a little on top of your soup if you must have cheese.

I eat whatever I'm making my family for dinner with modifications. If I make tacos, I make myself a taco salad (lettuce, taco meat, avocado, a small sprinkle of cheese, a small sprinkle of crushed tortilla chips, tomatoes, salsa, a dab of low fat sour cream = 400 calories). If I make grilled chicken fettuccini alfredo for…

Sorry - to follow up with what I said. Based only on the fact that you find it necessary to go through such trouble to remove the pesticides from your produce, I would tend to believe that you find pesticides harmful. This alone should be reason to think twice before allowing such pesticides into our environment.

Well if you're looking for a reason to buy organic other than the fact that there aren't pesticides ON your produce, my argument would be this: The massive amounts of pesticides and herbicides that are sprayed on industrial farms not only go on your produce, it goes in the ground and gets into our waterways.

For a long time my budget did not allow me to eat organic, nor was I educated enough about the topic to be interested in it. It started, for me, when I read an article in the New York Times by Michael Pollan about when he purchased his own cow to follow its' life span from birth to slaughter. Anyway, I don't buy organic…

We used to have season passes to Disney when we lived in Tampa. My suggestion is that you bring your own snack with you to Disney. They allow you to bring a backpack in with water (which I recommend because their water tastes funny) and you can pack fruit or nuts or any other healthy snack. That way, between meals, you…

Do this but don't throw out the whey! Keep that part and use it in any recipe that calls for buttermilk! Also, you have to rinse your butter or it will get rancid quickly. Take ice water and pour it in the butter and mix it around then drain it. Repeat that several times before you store the butter in the fridge.

I'm not sure if you have a whole foods near you, but in their service deli area they have store roasted turkey breast that they can slice for you and it has very little if no sodium. Very fresh tasting. However, it expires much faster. Salt is part of what preserves deli meat.
