I wanted to snap a pic of dinner last night but I was too hungry to go get my phone. I made Pork Chop Marsala with white rice and roasted asparagus. It was so good. Except for the mushrooms... I hate mushrooms. I like the flavor they add, but the texture is horrid. Good thing the wife loves them.

BIG BUMP!!! I can't wait to try this!

That might work! Next payday, I am going to get some ingredients and do some experimenting. When I come up with a winner, I will post it for all. I love being in the kitchen!

The Cocoa is the winner! I took a few and tried to use the technique that is used for biscotti to make them crunchy, but it didn't work. I did 8 minutes at 325, but it was a no go.

AHHHHH! You people are evil! 3rd batch in the oven with the 1 tablespoon of cocoa added.... but this is the last batch.... only because I am out of oats....lol

That looks fantastic... now if I could just get everyone in the house to eat Jalapenos.....

I just made a batch of these and I have to say... pretty darn good. A little cakier than I was expecting... I had a crisper bar in mind. I made a few variations in a second batch trying to capture the crunch I wanted, but still got a chewy bar.. but the flavor is more of a compliment to the applesauce. I halved the…

Well I guess I am off to the kitchen!

Mine is open. New meals every week. Except for ones I love. Add me and hit me up.

Dinner leftovers are a great lunch. I alway try to make 2 extra portions so my wife and I can both have a strong lunch. Her job doesn't always allow here to be where she can reheat though. Try packing your lunch before you go to bed. Make sure you have s acks in there. Celery and peanut butter is my fave. Gets you some…

I don't believe the OP was referring to Cup-o-Soup. She had a cup (8oz) of soup from what I take away from reading her post. I have made some terribly high calorie soups in my day, including ones that called for a full block of velvetta cheese. It's hard to eat at friends houses when they and their family have no regard…

Thanks a bunch for all the positive feedback. I know that cutting my loss is not the right thing. I was just trying to be the supporting husband, and keep her moral up. We work out side by side at home, and we keep ourselves motivated, but her 0 loss last week really bummed her out. You guys will see me around often... I…
