Greek Yogurt Cheesecake Cups
Another recipe posted elsewhere inspired me to try my own version. This stuff is seriously good, zero fat, high protein... and makes you feel like you're eating something "bad". My recipe doesn't include any crust (I just sprinkled a tablespoon of Fiber One cereal on top of each serving for added crunch), but you can doll…

Stuff to eat when you're out and about....
Okay, so this Group has gone silent! Maybe we can share some ideas for healthy things to eat when you're out running errands all day and suddenly realize you're ravenous and you forgot to pack your healthy snack of twigs and tree bark... :laugh: Anyway, I have two "discoveries" to share... and hope others will add to this…

"Water Consumption" question...
Do you other folks count your morning coffee/tea/etc as "water", or do you count only the plain water that you force yourself to chug all day long?

Pearled Barley Recipe? Preferably Rice Cooker version
Hi All... I made pearled barley in my rice cooker a month ago or so and it was very good, but the version I made (adding a can of Rotel tomatoes with chilies and onion) was higher in sodium content than I like. Are any of you "Ladies Who Lunch" ALSO "Ladies Who Cook Barley in a Rice Cooker"?? Any suggestions for…

Good Morning, Ladies.... and Gents (?)
I just thought I'd post a quick hello. I've joined your Group this morning, although I'm not "officially eligible" until the first week of April. For now, I am just lurking and learning. I've been active on MFP since January 2nd and have found it very helpful in my quest to lose 44+ pounds. So many of the message board…
