So, I wanted to throw together a crock pot full of chili for my husband and I to eat this weekend so we don't spend a bunch of money on eating out up until the holiday meals. I wanted to go outside of my normal box, so I decided to add some chorizo & use black beans, but keep it crazy simple too. Here you go! Makes 8 big…

It's that time of year again...school lunches!
Hey all! As my son grows older and slightly pickier I need help with what to send to school for lunch!

I did get a higher quality thermos this year so we'll give it a whirl and see how long it keeps food hot…

Red Pepper, Spinach & Feta Quiche
Let me preface this by saying I have never made a quiche without a recipe before. I just sort of threw this together based off of other recipes I have used. I think it needs a little tweeking...probably a little bit more milk and a slightly shorter baking time. It tastes great, but I think it could have been a little…

Finally posting pics, down 50 pounds!

I allegedly have 5 pounds until my goal weight, but I am pretty happy where I am, trying to lower my…

Any Architects on MFP? Any of you change careers?
I guess this goes under Chit-chat because it has nothing to do with fitness! I recently lost my job (just before Christmas) working as a residential architect. I've known for the past couple of years that this field was going nowhere since I was in a job that I hated, but only stayed because it still existed,. Every time…

This comes in around 325 calories for a full meal serving. 34 g carbs, 11 g fat, 20 g protein, 7 g fiber, & 922mg sodium....I know it is a bit sodium heavy...it was looking pretty good until I added the can of tomato sauce which I…
