Please help OT
:sad: I am flipping out right now so any thoughts would be appreciated. A few weeks ago I went and looked at an apartment. I paid $185 that day supposedly $150 deposit plus $35 application fee.

My version of chips and dip.....so good
I got the idea from somewhere to mix lowfat cottage cheese with dry onion mix. Then I eat it on mini cheddar rice cakes. 16oz of cottage cheese to about 3/4 pack dry onion soup mix, you could use the whole pack if you wanted I thought it was a little much though. Some of the girls at work have tried it and suggested mixing…

Marinades
I have a KC Masterpiece Sesame Teriaki marinade that I love. I add chicken, mushrooms and onion and put it on kabob sticks. I am not really sure how to calculate the calories of the marinade, because it seems like most of it is left in the bottom of the bowl after I put the ingredients on skewers. Any ideas?
