Amaranth greens
Does anyone have a good recipe for amaranth greens? This is my first year growing them and I just brought in my first harvest and haven't the foggiest clue how to prepare them - I have come across a few recipes online that recommend sauteing them, but I was hoping some of you might have some feedback or personal experience…

Broccoli Slaw Ideas?
I have a bunch of julienned carrots/broccoli/cabbage leftover from making a slaw with a citrus dressing and need some ideas for alternative preparation. I'm short on ideas today - any thoughts?

Long Shot, but..
Any science buffs on? My brain is exhausted and I am stuck on an A & P question about DNA. I know I should know the answer but I can't move past staring at the question blankly. It doesn't help that I've been at it for a while, but I need to move on. The question is if half of a DNA molecule has the bases GCATTCGA, what…

Lifting help.
So. I am well acquainted with losing weight (and gaining it back) but I think I want to start lifting. It is completely uncharted territory. I have a few concerns that a cursory glance through search results didn't satisfy. 1. My brainpan is filled with terror. i. I am fat and full of social anxiety. ii. I am going to have…

I'm on the fence - little help?
This is a little embarrassing, but I figured such a group of health conscious people might be able to give me some advice. I've noticed in the last couple of weeks that I have a couple of moles that seem to be changing shape/texture. They are more raised than normal and the skin has gone scaly (just on the mole... I know,…

Any other Mamas that are counting while BFing?
I had a baby girl in June, and I'm hopping back on the calorie-counting wagon (more out of concern of whether or not I'm getting enough calories than for weight loss at the moment, although it is a long term goal). Anyone else tracking while breastfeeding?? --Manda

VENT-a-palooza...
Warning: this is a thread venting about a particularly heinous night at work - sunshine and rainbow-beams not included. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be back to my usual cheery self.. :grumble: I help manage the restaurant I work at - we close at 10 on weekdays. Tonight was like every other night - it was slow, so the restaurant…

I need decorating ideas!
So - my new bathroom has this retro black/white tile, like so This isn't my place, just an example - I'm already doing black, white and red for my kitchen (which has the same tile) and want something calming and inviting - can't change the tile. Any ideas for a color scheme? Oh.. and I love color - leaving it just black…

Holy cow!
I was conservative on my estimates for exercise today, (waiting tables on a doubleshift) and it says I burned 1165 cals - could this be right?? We were slammed today, so I 'walked briskly' for about 2 hours, and walked at a slow pace for another 4. These are conservative guesses. Anyone else wait tables (maybe with a HRM?)…

What the ...???
Isn't your skin supposed to get BETTER when you drink water and eat healthy? The last few weeks, since I've been back on the bandwagon, I've had breakouts of little 'baby acne'.. I haven't gotten any big pimples or anything, just little bitty bumps.. anyone else notice skin changes for the worse after diet change? Should I…

Another update!!
There are probably several of you that aren't familiar with J and I's story - we met on MFP, and after spending hours (and hours) talking on the phone, decided to meet in person. He flew to Texas to meet me, and within two weeks, I was packing everything I owned into my car and driving to the mountains of northwest North…

I am about to gnaw my stinkin' arm off..
I haven't eaten since 9 last night, and I am STARVING!!! I'm bout to tear into some sushi... I know, I know, bad panda... I didn't eat before going to work, and while AT work, didn't have a chance to grab a bite. May god have mercy on the soul of anyone who tries to cross me before I've had a chance to sate my hunger...

Yes, the rumors are true!!!
Except for the one J started about me being pregnant. That one's not true. He just thought it was funny. I meant the one about me being back. That one's been confirmed.

My partner-
inspires me to be better in every possible way. He runs beside me, even though it means slowing down so I can keep up. He pushes me (gently) to excel, to overcome my roadblocks, he's never once been harsh or snapped at me for not being able to run the distances that he can, just patiently ran next to me when I was able,…
