Favorite Healthier Recipe Hacks
Hey all. Figured we should share how we like to change recipes to make them better for our diet. To start: 1) I use lowfat/nonfat yoghurt and/or sour cream to replace some or all mayonnaise in chicken and tuna salad recipes. What do you like to do?

Connections: Music Edition
OK. Here's the rules. You start with the last song posted, find another song, and explain how the 2 are connected. the only 2 restrictions I will dictate are: 1) it can NOT be the same artist (e.g. David Lee Roth and Van Halen led by him). 2) it can NOT be the same song (e.g. In the Mood by Jerry Gray and In the Mood by…

Recipe Wanted: Aussie Pie
Good Morning Australia! I am looking for a good Aussie Pie recipe. From what I can tell, there are 3 elements to the pie: 1) Crust 2) Filling 3) Assembly/Cooking I would like a few variations, but authentic as possible. Is handheld the most traditional, or do you make larger? Shape? Style? From what I've seen they are…

Hemp Seed Hearts
Looking at a recipe on the site calling for hemp seed hearts. What purpose does it serve in the recipe? I'm guessing nutrition like using flax seeds, and if so is there a good substitute for it? I'm trying to avoid buying something I don't use at this time.

Measurement systems - which cups?
Greetings all. I am working on some recipes and am running into a problem with international conversions. I didn't realize there are 3 versions of a "cup". To be clear: US: 1 cup = 238 ml Metric: 1 cup = 250 ml Imperial: 1 cup = 284 ml I don't have a metric set at this time, so I need to make sure when working on a recipe…

Surprising healthy/unhealthy restaurant meals
So, everyone. What meals have you found to get when eating out that are either healthier or lower in calories than you would think. In that vein, what about items that are surprisingly unhealthy/high in calories? I know a lot of salads out there tend to be the highest calorie items on the menu once they add all the extras…

Jackfruit "meat"
Hey all. Looking for people who have tried the jackfruit "meat" items from the store. Thinking of picking up the tex-mex one, but don't want to lay out too much money if it's not that good.

Looking for bluetooth pedometer
Hi. I am looking for a simple bluetooth pedometer that works with the MFP app on my phone. I don't want a watch. I have used one and really didn't like it that much. It occasionally can be uncomfortable depending on what I need to do. I also can't always have my phone with me. A simple device I can clip to my belt that can…

Eating out in the UK and handling holiday cheats.
Hey all... I am a seasoned traveler, but at the same time I don't usually concentrate on a plan when traveling. It was easy when I was in Japan years ago, but I never thought about it in England. I started going through my head the types of things I normally eat, and perhaps I should just not worry while visiting. Still, I…

If you are a fan of Chocolate....
I recently found a beverage that helps when it comes to my love of chocolate.... Cacao shell tea. I add a little cinnamon, some hot pepper, and sweetner and it's good! Obviously not as rich as using milk, but for a milk-free chocolate drink, it really hits the spot. Anyone else familiar with it? Any other suggestions? I…

Microwave Popcorn - What I've learned - and what have YOU learned?
This may seem silly, but perhaps it may help some of you. Sometimes, it's the obvious and simple things we all miss. So, I have 3 major tips for popping non-commercially packed popcorn in a microwave: 1) Avoid using "ladyfinger" popcorn - or any non-standard size popcorn. I have tried it, and either half of it doesn't pop,…

Changing my profile.....
All, Currently, my profile starts in March of 2018. I am thinking of resetting it back to a prior date and a higher weight starting point. I joined later, but my battle started way before. Good or bad idea?
