homemade crockpot yogurt
I've made this now twice with excellent results. It's important to allow the milk to heat up to about 170, then cool it down to between 120-130 degrees F before adding your starter.

Any Jawbone UP users on MFP?
I finally took the plunge and got my Jawbone Up a couple days ago. It would be fun to add some MFP's to my "team" and encourage each other along the way. I really like this gadget. It's motivating me to be more active. If you have a Jawbone up please add me? Thanks

Crockpot Carnitas
I made this today and it turned out great! I served it with cauliflower rice. Macros are good on this one and it was easy and tasty. The family loved it also. I skipped the last step (broiling it to crisp it up at the end) because I was hungry and I'm a little lazy too. found here at this website…

Subbing PB2 with peanut flour?
Has anyone tried substituting PB2 with regular peanut flour? As far as I can tell, they are one in the same, defatted peanut butter. I am a tightwad and would prefer to get it at the lowest price. Byrd Mill has 5# for 23.00, macros are pretty much identical to PB2, about 1/3 less price. Any thoughts?

Instead of giving in to a craving....
I have been struggling to make consistent healthy food choices. Today I wanted a high calorie treat. This is how my conversation with myself went: Take a breath and when in doubt, don't. Remember how lousy you will feel, physically and emotionally, after you eat it The momentary pleasure of eating this is not worth…
