Just an fyi: This is NOT considered safe. Yes, people have done it for years and years, but the canning guidelines for safe food handling say big no. Unless you can verify the product is acidic enough, tomato products like sauce, must be pressure canned to ensure no botulism. Eta: since you used Celsius, I assume you…

Op, I'm new to being vegan and can understand the carb frustration. There is a major learning curve. I've been practically a carnivore and have focused mainly on higher fat, higher protein, lower carb until the past couple of months. It's been weird for me to have these huge carb counts when in not used to seeing them. I…

I used to can all the time. Actually ended up in the local newspaper for being a young lady who cans. But, with a toddler, there's barely regular cooking going on. I can't wait to make applesauce with my mini. I love using honeycrisp apples for it. It really doesn't need anything added. Someone mentioned grapes. I did…

mmm I love salmon and broccolini! I shouldn't be looking at recipes while I'm hungry... Thanks for sharing!

eggs are super cheap and have good protein, add some cheap veggies (ex: cucumber, fresh uncut lettuce) you can probably set yourself up pretty cheap and healthy, too. Sorry to echo the PP! Ditto for the tuna, also. Usually the prepackaged/processed food isn't as cheap as people think they are. When you breakdown the costs…

pb&j with a Caesar salad. Faaancy! But, OP, since you're sick of sandwiches, I really like to make a sheet of meatballs on the weekend, freeze 'em, and then grab a portioned tub with some veg for lunch.

I'm a bit naughty. I want to get to the gym, but I don't want to at the same time. I'd rather sleep. Not that I haven't been waking up at my gym wake up time to go pee...Lazy. I've noticed too that I'm a bit more winded than I have been. I'm thinking about asking my OB to write me a gym excuse note so I don't waste the gym…

I agree with Dawnie about the weight gain suggestions. For me, being told how little I can gain (10-20lbs) by websites was scary. I can retain so much water that I can lose 10lbs in a week by sticking to being gluten free or watching some carbs. Silliness. I was happy when my OB said that I'm going to gain weight, try to…

I'm so glad to see this thread! I'm a fatty. Seriously, like I need to lose *a lot*. Anyway, I'm sick of the interwebs being all like "obese women have unhealthy pregnancies!" And I'm not down with all the counting and restrictive notions passed around. This is my philosophy while preggers: eat natural whole foods that I…

Was on a low dose (25mg?) for several months in attempt to control migraines. It messed up my language skills. I'd read words wrong, write the wrong words, and even say the wrong things. It took me 3x as long to write an email since I'd have to reread it like 10 times before sending. The language issue combined with still…

Hellos! I'm Jessy and I'm definitely still learning. It's only been 5 1/2 years since I shot my first firearm. Right now, I'm a pistol girl and really love the 1911 .45. Although I have a Glock 19 and am thinking about a 23 next year with my GSSF discount. I told the bf that perhaps I'd be interested in trying one of his…

raven: TN represent! *fist bump* And yes, thanks to kata for the invite!

I grew up in suburbia outside of a large midwestern city and was fairly anti-gun. I thought the NRA was a bunch of gun toting nut jobs and guns were stupid/scary. Then I was enlightened. I ended up moving to TN and somewhere along my path I became curious. I went to the range with a longtime family friend back where I grew…

Better than hearing you cocking your .22 revolver. Just a suggestion, not everyone is going to agree. And if you reread what I said, the first thing I suggested was a rifle, then a pause for a lesser suggestion of a shotgun. :)
-
The first 9 I shot was a S&W M&P 9. I love the power of a .45, but the M&P was really comfortable and if I had the $, I'd get one. So I'd say try one of those. I've been decently pleased with the Glock 19 Gen 4 because of the adjustable back strap and a few other tweaks that I had an armorer do (ahem spring...) I've always…

For home defense, forget the pistol, go rifle...or a good shotgun. Everyone knows the sound of a shotgun being cocked. Or as I've heard others say, "I'll only use my pistol to fight my way back to where I have my rifle." If you want it to carry as well, like others have said, try 'em out. I love a 1911 .45 and have been…

Didn't Jerry Seinfeld's wife write a cookbook on how to hide veggies in things? I can't recall the name of it. I first am curious a bit more of what turns you off about veggies. You mentioned texture, but didn't really elaborate. For example, I'm a texture person, too. I hate it when my veggies are mushy and over cooked.…

No shoes. Better balance, plus less risk of injury from misstep. Even at the gym I wear VFFs. Stupid shoe culture. Naked feet unite!

The biggest premise problem: assuming the government knows what is healthy. <insert snake coil flag here>

I'm a little disappointed by this thread being about frugality. I totally took the title to the wrong place... :bigsmile:

It's not the crabs that are bad for you, it's the sea water they are in that is bad. So get the land crabs. They're little, but they'll keep you busy.

I wish I had the option of shopping at those stores. I haven't gotten small enough to have the luxury of shopping at different stores. Guess that's a plus for being fat? :tongue: Anyway, yes, it is annoying that different places have different sizing. But some of that is cut as well. Even at the one store I can shop at,…

I haven't done Insanity so I don't know what the diet restrictions are (if they have any and if you are even following them..) But here are my protein powder choices and uses: 1. Jay Robb's protein shakes 2. IsoNatural pure whey protein 3. Sometimes I use some premade protein shakes that I get at Sam's for when I'm on the…

I haven't read past this post because I don't want to forget what I wanted to say, so I apologize if more has been discussed that I am not taking into account at this moment. Let me be another gluten free migraine person for you. I had also been having migraines - weekly for about 3 days per week. Some were accompanied by…

Why waste the milk? Just insert nutella spoon into face. ;) It does sound good, though! Nice little winter treat.

Totally awesome! I really love lifting and would rather use it more than cardio time. Which bring me to asking: what are your cardio habits? I'd prefer to lift all day than spend 30 mins on a treadmill. haha I can't believe you are a mom! You really should be a source of inspirations for moms on MFP to see what our bodies…

I'm jealous of all of you who can successfully grow things. My house is the place plants go to die. I did manage to get a few blackberries and raspberries - wonderful! Shame those plants croaked. I grew broccoli - plants were gorgeous! They tasted like tires. That was a quick lesson that broccoli is not supposed to grow in…

There are better ones available. It was just a quick search to show they exist. Or get a hand-held monitor. The point is that weight isn't the biggest thing to be concerned about and there are devices available for people to monitor other things.
-
Yep! http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/search/search.aspx/body-fat-scale/?sstr=body+fat+scale&dim=1&nty=1& Can't tell you how great each of them at the link are, but you can check em out. Btw, i think it's Tanita that is the good brand to use. They have their own website, but IIRC they're more expensive than the ones at BB&B

Smartass response: food is yummy. Ok, serious response. You aren't really gaining a pound in the nasty weight gain way (fat accumulation). Our bodies change all the time and when you step on the scale it's measuring all of you. So, things that influence weight: bones, organs, body fat, the food or water you just drank, the…
