Laughing Cow Pasta??
I've seen a few posts a while ago, where people were melting Laughing Cow cheese wedges over pasta to make a cheesy pasta sauce. I went grocery shopping yesterday and debated buying the white cheddar wedges to melt over macaroni noodles, but ended up being a chicken and put it back. Has anyone tried it, or have any other…

Halo Top...how the heck do they do it???
Halo Top. It's amazing. No really. It is. Every time I've gone to the grocery store the last six months, the freezer shelves have been empty. I knew that it was either just that good, or a fad that would quickly dissipate. Likely the latter, at least I thought. Fast forward to last Tuesday. I went to the store for some…

Sushi...
Hi friends! So, I've never been one to really pay attention to how certain foods make me feel. I just eat pretty much whatever I want, and make it fit within my goals. Earlier this week, however, I had sushi for dinner. And though sushi is seriously one of my most favorite foods ever, I noticed afterwards that I just…

Cheese Pizza & Buttercream Frosting...pffftttt...
I'm on day 34 of my WLJ, and I think I'm finally getting the hang of exercising self-control. I mean, for serious this time. Last night, we had homemade pizza for dinner. HOMEMADE. PIZZA. One of my all-time favorite things in this world. With a perfect crust that was crispy on the outside, but fluffy on the inside. That I…

Need a good recipe for microwave mug cakes...
So tonight, I was craving cake. Chocolate cake, just to put it out there. I decided to give in and make one of those single serving, microwave mug cakes, so that I could easily limit my portion. I found a recipe on 'Chocolate Covered Katie', and I had all the ingredients. I mixed everything, microwaved, and viola!…

Salads
Quick question to all of those good meal planners out there... A little bit of background info... I'm trying very hard to get back into MFP. I'n 2008, I used MFP as a great tool to help me lose 75 pounds. I kept it off for a good while, but over the last two years, I've gained back about 45 pounds. In comparing where I was…

Avocado...I want to love you...
Avocado. A superfood. Loaded with 20 vitamins and minerals. Antioxidant rich. Amazingly good for you. Most people even want to marry it, but... I just can't. I absolutely hate it. It's the texture. It's the flavor. It's how sneaky it can be...showing up in every imaginable recipe these days. I feel like it should be only a…

Buffalo Ranch Chicken Salad
Today, I made myself a buffalo ranch chicken salad for lunch using stuff I had on hand. I ended up really, REALLY enjoying it. The zest of the pico, with the bite of the wing sauce and the crunch of the chicken made for a great combination. Ended up being 450 calories, with the fried popcorn chicken and the full-fat ranch…

Skinny Pumpkin Mousse with Crushed Gingersnaps (133 Calories!!!)
I love pumpkin everything. Yep, one of "those people". And though some may argue that it's still too hot outside for the re-entry of pumpkin into our diets, I'm already getting a jump start on fall cuisine. I made this tonight after finding the recipe on simple-nourished-living.com, and it was very, very good! And, I can't…
