New Year's Eve party ideas
I'm actually hosting a party this year, there'll be 20ish people including children... I told people to just bring whatever they want but I need ideas of easy/tasty things to put on the buffet table... I have an instant pot I can keep things warm in.

Favorite Christmas dessert?
Looking for inspiration. Probably want to make 2/3 different things (I do not like alcohol or Peppermint stuff).
-
Thanksgiving desserts?
I'm in charge of desserts two days in a row (Thanksgiving and Black Friday) AND I won't be able to use the oven on Thanksgiving either, so I would love some ideas of recipes that can be done 1-2 days ahead... My husband's requesting a pumpkin pie so that's on the list for Thursday, I was thinking cheesecake for Friday (any…

Pimples
No more birth control pill, so those annoying middle-cycle pimples are back. Does anyone happen to have a fantastic remedy to get rid of them? I can't even smile without it hurting right now!

Starting with a negative adjustment when set on sedentary on MFP?
This is odd. Is there something even less active than 'sedentary' that would explain the -82 calories I start with every day? lol
-
Durable socks?
I'm running out... again. They are either mismatched or have holes on their toes. I don't need anything fancy but something durable and comfortable (I walk a lot) that doesn't cost an arm and a leg (I swear that my washer eats socks). I don't care for the super short type of socks either, especially with cooler weather…

Getting used to skipping breakfast
I'm always hungry in the morning, but savory food just doesn't appeal to me at all anymore then... so instead of just eating empty carbs and still be hungry after 500 calories, I've started skipping breakfast and end up eating around 11am. It makes the rest of the day MUCH easier, but, well, I'm hungry, and I exercise in…

Fruit flies help
I can't get rid of the things! I've been pouring boiling water and vinegar down the drain, putting the fruit away, tried the apple cider vinegar trap/dish detergent thing... nothing's working... Any tried and true tip to get rid of them?
-
Do you ever get hungry but don't feel like eating anything?
Not sure if it's the depression or what, but absolutely nothing appeals to me right now. Unfortunately, when that happens, I typically end up just eating junk, even though I don't even really want it, but when nothing appeals to you at all, you don't typically want to have low calorie stuff.... Probably doesn't help that…

4 day camping trip... food?
Need ideas. I doubt anything will last longer than a couple days in the cooler...

Veggie sides for barbecue?
Tired of raw veggies and dips and boring salads... We keep having people over and grilling and I'm just running out of easy ideas for sides. Suggestions?
-
Anyone else become a picky eater?
It seems so hard nowadays to find things that are worth the calories sometimes! Last week I really wanted a danish so I went to the supposedly best bakery in the area that sells them... and it was extremely disappointing. The standard for bakeries is very low sometimes it seems... Half the time when I order cheesecake…

Blended soup using frozen veggies?
I'm weirdly craving some nice blended soup and was thinking I'd just by a bunch of $1 bags of frozen veggies, throw that in some broth, and blend away. Has anyone done that and what combination did you like best? I'm never been a fan of chunky soups but short of potato/leek or butternut, I haven't had much luck finding…

The Flash finale (spoilers)
They can't seriously get rid of the main character, can they?
-
Favorite mobile games?
It's going to be that time of the year again when the kids are home and I won't be able to go out as much as I do... so I need more games! Currently playing Candy Crush and just started Roller Coaster Tycoon Touch. I used to play Farmville/Township but got bored with them. Something that requires patience and NOT money is…
-
Dunkin donut flavored ice coffee calories?
I can't find the nutrition information anywhere for a hazelnut large iced coffee with no cream and sugar. Definitely tastes sweetened. Any idea? Calories on the menu are extremely vague - 10 to 110 calories for a large iced coffee and 10 to 100 for flavors or something...

At what time do your dogs wake up?
My old dog... he'll sleep in until we get up. My puppy though... 5.20am on a good day. I'm so exhausted. I barely have time to watch one show with my husband after the kids go to bed before I have to go to bed, and even then, it's not enough. And that's with waking up once during the night to pee too! I don't really want…

Question for others who also have issues with moderation
I'm still working on it myself but I've noticed that very often, I'll be eating a cookie... and WHILE I'm eating the cookie I'm already thinking about eating more. How do you get to the mindset of just enjoying what you're eating without thinking about getting more? I mean, the second cookie will not taste different than…

Sync issues between app and browser version
I can't for the life of me have the snack I just entered on my app show up when I open my diary on my computer's browser. What's the deal? How can I fix it? I did notice that it shows up on my Fitbit app however, which is nice to see, as it's been broken for days... but now MFP is broken on my browser. They need to stop…

I feel like a parenting failure
I'm at the end of my rope here. Seriously. My son is a very sweet kid... but he's seriously pushing my limits. He got into watching Minecraft Youtube videos a couple months back because my husband let him. He seriously ended up glued for hours, which I didn't like, but it was the week end so I let it go. Then he started…

Trying to find a puppy and so frustrated!
Has anyone else noticed this? I'm all for rescuing, but frankly, I can understand why it's so much easier for people to just go to a pet store and buy a puppy sometimes... I've been looking around on Petfinder and for the puppies I'm interested in, I just don't live in the right county to adopt and they all prefer local…
-
Waterproof sneakers?
Ok this is my pet peeve right now. I want to be able to walk without ending up with soaked feet (especially as I have to take my puppy out all the time, even in the rain). I'd rather not have to resort to my hiking shoes, although I guess I could... but is there such a thing as waterproof sneakers? I swear that was never…
-
Dinner rut!
Got to go food shopping today... and I'm totally stumped. Seriously no idea what I can make, I'm not craving anything specific either so it's difficult. Any easy/awesome recipes that you recommend?
-
Iron supplements question
I have low iron anemia and my doctor asked me to take supplements. However, I am extremely confused because the supplements I found give 65mg... which according to MFP is 360% of the requirements. Some google search told me that iron requirements for women my age are 18mg a day, and that it's not recommended to have over…

Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
I needed some (pureed) for a recipe, and I'm left with 3/4 of a can... Any tasty recipes I can use that in? I never use the stuff...
-
Yogurt brands that don't have fruit bits?
Asking for my picky kids. They like flavored yogurt (except vanilla. Of course) but only the kind that doesn't have little fruit bits in them. Any recommendation? I got some Activia last time and they wouldn't touch them. They don't really like Greek yogurt either.
-
What do you do with frozen veggies?
Ok it's really a problem. I just don't like frozen veggies. At least with fresh, I can roast them or something, but frozen is just so bland... bleh! So I just don't eat enough veggies because it's just not worth the calories to me (I know, I know) and I'm just so sick of them at this point... Fresh is often too expensive.…
