Cookware recommendations
My 26 year daughter has asked for a "starter" cookware set for Christmas. I will be getting her other things so I don't want to break the budget. Recommendations? Stainless steel or non-stick? Recommended brands?

Irish side dish ideas?
So next week, we are having a St. Patrick's day lunch in my office. There is a sign up sheet going around. We are having a standard deli tray brought in for the main dish, so everyone has to sign up for an appetizer, side dish or dessert. So far, we seem to have a shortage of side dishes, so I thought I could call upon my…

"Say NO to indulgences" challenge
OK - I don't know if this will appeal to anyone, but here's what I was thinking. As most of you know, many Catholics give up certain food items during Lent (Ash Wednesday March 9 - Easter Sunday April 24). I was thinking of giving up ice cream (in my efforts to be a "good" Catholic, I do other things besides giving up food…

Bathing Suits
So today when I was shopping, I looked at bathing suits. This has always been hellish for me, but I am going to Myrtle Beach on vacation in a few weeks, and I've lost almost 45 pounds, so I thought I would give it a shot. Well, forget it! :grumble: I'm about 5' 6", and weighed about 146 today. Admittedly, I am 53 years…

Applebee's 550 Menu - your thoughts?
So, I went to Applebee's last night and had the Teriyaki Shrimp Pasta. I thought it was tasty, and I'm sure some would say the portion size was "just right". The 550 menu certainly does give people like us (MFP'ers) an opportunity to dine out and not blow an entire day's (week's? :laugh: ) worth of calories at one meal.…

At first, I thought, "I'll be really good from now til…

Help with snacks and beer
I need some suggestions. I am going to be on vacation in a couple of weeks and we are spending a week at a cabin in a state park. I know that I am going to want some munchy snacks, but obviously I need something where you can get a lot for a few calories. Last year (before MFP), I took a big bag of yummy trail mix and ate…

HoMedics Scale for Mothers Day
Hi. My husband bought me a HoMedics SC-520 for Mother's Day. It measures body fat, body hydration, etc. However, I am thinking of returning it because I can't seem to get it to work. I was able to program all my info into "Memory 1". The instructions say to push the Up Down Arrow to get to your Memory Location, then press…

Eating Kashi cereal
I love eating Kashi cereal for breakfast but all that fiber (in just one serving) gives me horrible, horrible gas. By lunchtime at work I have to repeatedly get up and leave my desk :blushing: , and by dinnertime it still doesn't stop. Does anyone else have this problem?? Has anyone found any way to stop it? (or reduce it,…
