Tasty, transportable, and reheatable sweet potato and green bean dishes?
We have to drive 1 hour for Thanksgiving, and we're in charge of bringing a few things, including the sweet potato and the green bean dishes. So we need to find something that we can prepare ahead of time and reheat easily there (their oven will probably be taken by the turkey, unfortunately, so that's pretty much out).…

Indulgent breakfast recipes?
I'm starting to realize that more indulgent breakfasts (read = stuff with fat) keep me fuller. I've had croissants, brioche, and French toast lately, 400-500 calories worth, and it keeps me full for 4 hours... more than pretty much anything else. So... anyone got some nice, tasty, and not too hard recipes to share?
-
Holidays food traditions?
With all that talk about Thanksgiving food, I'm curious. What's the typical food of choice for Holidays in other countries? Heck, I'm curious about what Americans eat for Christmas too... When I grew up (France) the only big Holiday meals we had was Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, and we usually had smoked salmon and…

Food rut... again
I don't feel like eating anything at the moment. It's actually a big problem because I don't find much of anything satisfying, which actually makes me more likely to eat more or to snack on sweets, hoping that I can find something that's actually satisfying, if that makes sense (I haven't gone over my goal since this…

Healthy donut recipes?
I ordered a pan. I found a couple good recipes online, but wondering if anyone got a delicious healthy one?

Athlete foot? What?
I am losing my mind. This has been going on since August. Very itchy spot between two toes that occasionally oozes some clear liquid (skin peels off too), and crusts a little bit when it dries. Tried OTC anti-fugus for a month... barely any change. Went to the doctor and got some prescription stuff that I used for a 5…

Why are some people getting fatter?
Ok so we get fat because we eat too much... I wonder though, what causes us to eat too much? I was talking to my mom the other day about how sometimes my kids are just too wild when we go out to eat, asked her if we were the same, and she said we just loved food too much so it was never an issue with us... we'd just eat.…

Families, do you eat every single meal together?
When my (French) mom is visiting, she's always complaining about how we eat the 'American way' for lunch, and don't all sit together to eat. I don't really remember how it was when I lived there, but she would make a new meal for lunch and we'd treat it like dinner and all eat together... which I have no desire to do…
-
Oatmeal makes me bloated/sick?
Ok I got to ask because it's getting a bit ridiculous... Does it happen to anyone else? It seems that every time I have oatmeal in the morning now, I feel bloated, heck sometimes nauseous, and if I exercise afterwards I swear I feel I'm going to throw up. I suppose it keeps me full for a while because of that but it's…
-
Going out... what would you eat?
I don't typically ask, but heck. My husband picked this place for lunch. I don't have any specific craving so nothing really jumps at me (except the mac'n cheese, but I just don't want to blow 2000 calories on a meal today), so I'm just wondering what you think the most reasonable option is? Thinking the grilled steak…

Everyday walking shoes?
I don't really care about fashion but my sneakers just don't look too good with my leggings and dresses... What kind of shoes do you recommend that are comfortable, durable, waterproof, and NOT sneakers?

Puff pastry recipes?
I bought some frozen puff pastry sheets with the intent of making some strudels a couple weeks ago but I haven't found a good recipe yet and I'm not even sure what kind of apples I should use and I've been thinking of maybe doing something else... So... any recommendation?

Taking bets... mine is for pumpkin pie (and I'm definitely buying it if it is).

Favorite brand of casual walking shoes?
I have a lot of dresses/leggings and let's be honest, sneakers just don't match... but my nicer casual shoes hurt my feet too much if I have to walk for a while with them. Any recommendation? Needs to be waterproof too...

Recipe tool borked for anyone else?
I can't save anything on my browser nor my phone when I try to edit a recipe. Haven't tried a new recipe yet... Guess I'll have to enter a new recipe for the same recipe for the third time tonight... if that even works...

Best easy brownie recipe?
Kids asked for brownies for our Labor Day party. My husband made some for Christmas but they were just way too dark for me and I didn't like them... Does anyone has a good and easy recipe for non dark chocolate brownies?

Ladies, what to wear for a wedding?
Going to a wedding in December (brother in law). I don't have anything nice for cold weather... I have a few dresses but I'm not sure they would be dressy enough... Don't want to spend a fortune, would rather be able to try it on first, I have a large frame with chubby hips (see profile pics - only lost an inch or so since…

Help me understand my pre-weight loss TDEE
I don't get this. I eat 2200 calories to maintain now. To maintain my pre-loss 205 pounds as sedentary I would have had to eat 2000 calories. I'm not surprised at my TDEE now as I exercise a lot, but there is no way I was only eating 2000 calories a day.. yet maintained for 10 years. How?? Do food calories magically…
-
Veggie cooking recommendations?
Ok I'm getting burned out on veggies. I've been using steamable frozen veggies and I love the convenience of it... but I'm just getting tired of broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower (even mashing the cauliflower). And I'm getting over zucchini too... I have some frozen Brussel sprouts that are steamable too but any…

Is my TDEE really higher now that I've lost weight?
I am extremely confused. I checked Scooby to see how much I was eating to maintain my 200-205 pounds for 10 years, being completely sedentary... It said 2000 calories. How is that even possible? My TDEE now is 2200. Ok, I exercise an hour a day so that's a huge difference, but when I see how much I'm struggling to stay…

How many grams of peaches is 5 cups?
I'm making a peach pie tomorrow and the recipe calls for 5 cups. Seriously, why? I read all the comments too and nobody's mentioned how many peaches they actually used. How many grams is it? I can just see myself slicing the peaches and trying to make them fit in a cup to measure properly. What a pain...
