I use splenda in my biscotti, pies, and pudding recipes without any problem. I find if I use it in my cookie recipes they are OK but I don't enjoy them as much. So I don't worry about the sugar in my holiday cookies. We decorate our tree with beautifully decorated and wrapped cookies. I enjoy ONE every night after dinner…

Am I just wierd? I like it plain. Air popped with a tall glass of ice water. It is light and fluffy but filled with flavor if you use a good quality popcorn.

You can buy a cheap blender that gives poor results or will need to be replaced every few years or you can buy something that will last forever. Ask any vitamix owner and they will tell you it is well worth the investment. Reconditioned models are available it you can't afford a new one. It is a powerful workhorse. I have…

Our favorite is homemade pot pies. Everyone fills their own with assorted veggies and their favorite protein. (My hubby and daughters like shrimo and chicken together. Then add some low sodium creamed soup (or broth thickened with cornstarch). I roll out a pilsbury pie crust a little thinner than the way it comes in the…

Sounds great!

Are we looking at the same recipe. It says its 195 per serving.

I brush my teeth, drink 16 oz of water, then do 10 or 20 situps to reconnect me with my body and my goals. Then I wait 15 minutes if I still want it I enjoy it. But 99% of the time the craving is gone and I feel empowered by the experience.

One day will not make or break your diet goals. I would eat a good breakfast and enjoy the pizza party knowing that your dad is trying to do something nice to celebrate. You don't have to eat 10 slices of pizza and a dinner plate serving of cake. But I wouldn't limit yourself to one skinny slice and a sliver of cake…

You have quite a problem on your hands. If your husband doesn't get on board with healthy eating your kids never will. If you can't talk to him you ptobably have other problems to. If you can talk to him and the problem is that her doesn't like certain foods but he supports the idea of healthy foods in general than you…

It is basic math - There are 16 tablespoons in a cup. Therefore there are 4 Tbls in 1/4cup. If you are using 1 Tbls use .25 portion of the 1/4cup serving size. BTW - there are 3 teasponns in 1 Tablespoon

When my hubby and I were first married and on a tight budget I used to cringe at the prices of fruits and veggies. I would only buy what was on sale and pass by the stuff I thought was too expensive. Especially if my hubby didn't like it. My hubby - who works in a grocery store - quickly picked up on what I was doing. He…

Fat can be lost - mean lasts forever! People can be real a$$es and not just about weight. I have a daughter who was tall for her age as a toddler. At a 1.5 years most people thought she was 4-5. If someone tried to engage her in a conversation while waiting in line at the store they were disspointed with her lack of…

I guess I'm one of the few people who can't eat when I'm depressed. I find that the best way for me to combat my depression is to take the time to prepare healthy meals and exercise. When I start getting too busy or too stressed to make a good breakfast or lunch before work, it starts me on the road to a depressive state…

ohh be sure and thank Laurie for me :D

I just trimmed back my basil but wasn't in the mood for pesto. I think I'll try this instead. Thanks!

Josette is lucky to have you in her life. I have raised 2 thin daughters admidst classmates with eating disorders. Our 1st encounter was a new friend who at 5 years old had already been diagnosed, hospitalized, treated, and recovered all before starting kindergarten. At times my daughters were criticized because they…

They sure are wonderful! I surprised my daughter with a refreshing glass of cinnamon/apple/vanilla/ginger infused water when I picked her up after class to take her to UCSF yesterday. She was very happy cause it is one of her favorites. Thanks for the link. I never thought of making different ones when entertaining but I…

"Quiting" is never a good thing! Making a "decision" to change the course that you were previously committed to can be a wise action. If you made a hasty decision to join the rowing team before you fully understood the level of committent required you may have just learned a valuable life lesson that can positively impact…

Thanks for getting the word out. I can't wait to hear the results.

Yep! That doesn't mean that he has to be hyper vigilant about it but shared values in the beginning are critical to a successful relationship as we change and grow thru life. But I think the answer really depends on weather a healthier lifestyle choice came before or after the commitment to the relationship. I've been…

Love it!

Looks great!

My secret ingredient is LOVE! It makes even the flops of trying a new recipe that didn't turn out quite right taste a little better. I too use garlic and wine but never thought of coffee in gravy. I will have to try it. My must have magic ingredient is pure dry powdered vanilla. Not the vanilla flavor stuff but pure…

Thanks! They sound really good!

Foe mw ot has always been first on last off. My waist is the first place I put on weight. then hips, arms, face etc. So I am losing it in reverse order. It could be the same for you.
