How long can cooked meatballs last?
Title asks it all: I just cooked them tonight. Have enough for 8 meals x3 meatballs. Will I need to freeze some or should they last for 8 straight days?

what to do with green peppers?
I just got an amazing deal on green peppers from the farmer's market. Paid 5$ and got about 20 peppers. Of course it's only a good deal if I don't let them rot. Any ideas on what to do with them? They need to be paleo friendly!

How low carb to be?
I understand everyone functions better at different carb levels. Right now I am transitioning to paleo, and plan to be fully paleo by the middle of October. As I gradually cut out things I am used to, I am still hoping to eat fairly low carb and avoid things like most grains (tomorrow I'll be having a 1/4 cup non-paleo…

Lunch ideas
Any ideas for portable paleo lunches that don't need reheating? We have microwaves here, but I am trying to distance myself from microwaved food (no debate sought...this is just for me personally.) Leftovers was my usual go-to, but since most leftovers don't taste that good cold, I need some good ideas for lunches that are…

Protein amount
When choosing how much protein I plan on having a day, should I be looking at my current weight (in which case I would be doing nothing but eating protein all day long....) or my goal weight (which seems much more realistic....)?

What to have with my steak
I bought my first frying steak last that in ages, and I am trying to figure out what to do with it. It's mostly the side dish that has me stumped. Any ideas for something that is not processed or has very little processing?

Doctors Diet
Has anyone tried the Doctors Diet from the book by Dr. Stork? I've tried googling it to get more information, but all I can find is links to the book. I plan on buying the book IF it is something I want to try, but I don't like putting a bunch of money into something that I'm unsure about. Has anyone tried it? If so how…

Adding variety
I am not raw yet or even vegan, but I plan on transitioning to raw food vegan diet over the next few months. I am wondering about adding variety into the diet though. I see a lot of youtube videos on what people eat in a day, and it's like 10 bananas for one meal. That seems a bit extreme *for me* as a like a mixture of…

High carb and low carb snacks
I'm currently carb-cycling, and I am wondering what people do for: 1) high carb/no-low fat snacks and 2) low-no carb/with fat snacks (both can have protein of course) I'm starting to run out of ideas.

Is it gone bad
I bought a package of individually-packaged hummus and accidentally left it on the counter for several days not thinking. They are completely sealed and unopened. Still good or is it a throw away?

Kid-friendly vegetarian meal ideas/recipes
So, my niece is coming to stay with me for a week, and I am stressing out over what to feed her because I am a vegetarian who is not cooking meat unless it is in some pre-packaged microwaveable dinner and she is a picky eater. I am wondering if people could suggest some kid-friendly, simple (as we'll be quite busy),…

Alternate day fasting
Does anyone do this?? I just saw a documentary on TV about it, and I was thinking of giving it a try. At my current weight, one day I would eat 500 calories (just one meal for the day), and the next maybe around 2000 or so. Does anyone do this on a regular basis, and if so (or have tried it) what do you think?
-
Refreezing ground beef
Would it be safe to thaw a package of ground beef, separate it into small portion sizes, then refreeze the portions? I know better now to do this BEFORE I freeze the meat, but this is an older one that I bought a few months ago, and I didn't think about that then.

What to take to a pizza pot luck party
I am posting this here because it does not have to be anything super healthy (I probably won't be eating too much of whatever I take, and I doubt anyone else cares). Sooooo....I am going to a pizza pot luck party next week, and I have noooo idea what to bring. Someone else is bringing the pizza, so does anyone have any…

Mediterranean diet
I don't do anything specific right now but cut calories. I realized I am starting to eat more processed meat than I should though, so I've been thinking of different diets. I am wondering, does anyone here purposely (not by default) do the Mediterranean or Greek diet (or have done it) and if so, what are your opinions on…

Food processor
Has anyone made a good non-lumpy smoothie in a food processor before? I haven't tried it, but I want to get some smoothie ingredients, and all I have is a food processor. Will it work or should I save my money? (I won't be using ice, just frozen fruit, fresh fruit, and a tiny bit of milk or yogurt).

question about expiration date
There was some fully-cooked bacon on sale today...and only one left. So of course, I snatched it up. After I got home, I realized it expired on Feb 21st. It is already fully-cooked and refridgerated. Safe to eat? Or should I return it?

Rice ideas
I think I am making rice tomorrow to go with tilapia. I like to season my reason, and will do it lightly so it doesn't overpower the rest of the dish. I've never done it lightly before or with fish soooo any ideas?
