Listen to a thriller / mystery audio book when you aren't in the mood to run or have a long run. You won't want to stop because it is interesting and keeps you thinking about something besides how many minutes you have left. I never used to like long runs OR audio books, but this seriously does the trick for me. Plus, it's…

Sweet! I am going to try this!

I want to try these soon!!! thanks!

If you have some extra time on an evening or on the weekend, make up a bunch of healthy breakfast burritos, freeze them individually and then you just pop them in the microwave at home/work when you need breakfast! It works like a charm and you get non-processed, healthy, protein packed meals. I usually cook a lot of…

Sounds great! :flowerforyou:

YUM! Thanks for sharing!!!!

AH! These look amazing! I actually wish I didn't have dinner plans so I could make them RIGHT NOW! Thanks for sharing!

I LOVE these! :) It seems so much more civilized to be sarcastic when taking shots at people....

I think a cooking challenge is an AMAZING idea! I can't wait to participate!

Hi! I totally understand food on the go... Are you able to use a microwave?? When I worked long and unconventional hours I found that soup and/or food that could be zapped and eaten were way better than always relying on cold food. Especially in the fall winter, I always wanted WARM food so I would sub my homemade sandwich…

Sounds good! I am going to have to give this a try :drinker:

I need advice on the same thing! Thanks for posting... What does the MFP community think? :happy:

Adrian, thank you for the chicken chili idea!!! I might make that today or tomorrow! It's becoming fall her now so it's time to do slow-cooking at least once a week :happy: Anyone else have good healthy crockpot ideas?! Keep them coming!!! a.

AZchatterB - thanks for the parchment / wax paper suggestion! It works REALLY well!

I hope you really like it!!!! :flowerforyou:

Hey! I just did a remix of this recipe and it turned out AMAZING! Thank you SO SO SO much for inspiring me :) My family loved it too. If you want to see what I did I have posted it on my healthy eating blog... http://girlinoregon.blogspot.com/2011/09/bbq-turkey-sandwiches.html Thanks again! a.

Wow! I will totally try the parchment paper! Thanks :happy: And...I also didn't know you could get pictures pasted in these messages... so I'll have to work on that too!

This is the best pizza!!! gluten free (and really low in carbs...) :flowerforyou: http://girlinoregon.blogspot.com/2011/08/gluten-free-pizza.html

THANKS for all the great ideas!! I am leaps and bounds more excited about leftovers now :happy:

Yes. When I go on long runs I usually bump up on the scale the next day and then a day later I deflate again... I have wondered what it was all about -- let me know if you find out!!!

I would leave out coconut and add extra vanilla or replace it with almond! :glasses:

Can't wait to try this!!! I might switch it up and use ground turkey :happy: Thanks for sharing!

Yum that sounds good too! And very similar :happy:

Try this! The bacon wrapped asparagus went PERFECTLY with salmon! YUM. Each serving is 48 cals and 3 carbs :) :) :) http://girlinoregon.blogspot.com/2011/08/white-house-lunch.html Enjoy!

Here is my favorite fat free and low calorie coleslaw recipe! http://girlinoregon.blogspot.com/2011/08/coleslaw.html I like everyone else's suggestions too! I can't wait to try them. :wink:

Yep, I mixed up the sauce in a bowl first and then when I flipped the chicken I smothered the grilled side with the sauce so it sank in while the other side of the chicken was cooking in the skillet.

You can find Hoisin sauce in most "Asian" aisles at the grocery store, somewhere near the soy sauce and teriyaki sauce It's usually a short round jar. Or, you can find it really easily at an Asian Grocery if you have one near you!

:blushing: I know what you mean about the ketchup... I lived in China for over a year and my Chinese friends would DIE if they knew I put KETCHUP into a 'Chinese' sauce... that being said, you can't taste it. If you don't want to add it, I would do 3 tbsp of Hoisin and add a splash of vinegar to compensate. Hope you enjoy…

Hello hello! sorry I have been MIA! I actually HAVE been exercising but not quite in right order of our P90X schedule :blushing: So, it looks like we are still on a week 2 thread even though we are in week 3.... but I wanted to say hi anyway and that I just finished up the arm/shoulders/ab work out for today. I really…

Hello ladies!!! I am sorry to be MIA. My Niece's baptism was on Sunday so I cooked for 30 people all day Saturday, went to the baptism on Sunday with all our out of town friends/family, and then, got the flu or something at the party and was in bed for half of yesterday :mad: So, alas, I was off of MFP for a couple days. I…
