Oven roasting a half chicken
I just bought a half chicken at market and realize that I'm not sure at what temp or how long to bake it. It is not in parts, but a half chicken cut down the center (probably with their bandsaw).

Ubiquinol (as CoQ10) do you take it, like it?
Two weeks ago I started taking Ubiquinol 100mg day (with 1/2 teaspoon peanut butter for better absorption, since it needs fat for absorption, unless I'm eating a meal that has fat in it).

What portion size of protein do you eat in meals?
I am curious if people eat a large or smaller amount of protein as a serving with meals? I used to eat a larger amount (4-6 ounces, or more sometimes) and have noticed through my weight loss journey (on Weight Watchers and this site) that I am now taking less and less. I try to weigh a 3 ounce portion now (of beef,…

Brownie Batter Breakfast Milkshake
I recently discovered Hershey's Special Edition Dark Cocoa powder (unsweetened). Who knew that adding it to my breakfast shake would make it taste like brownie batter (it is amazingly rich).
