Bread Pudding
I absolutely love bread pudding. My sister used to make it for me all the time, but it had tons of sugar, butter, whole milk, and eggs. I tried a low cal version last night. It's not quite as good as with all the bad stuff in it, but it was enough to cure my craving. I'm going to try it again with some alterations. I just…

PB2 (powdered peanut butter)... Any good?
I saw this mentioned on another post and was curious. Apparently PB2 is a powdered peanut butter that you mix with water (or jelly or honey) to reconstitute. It's only about 50 calories for 2 tbsp compared to regular peanut butter which has 180-200 calories for the same amount. I'm thinking of trying it, but would like to…

How to fill those last calories...
Much to my surprise, I'm finding that I'm often under my recommended calorie intake. I'm usually between 50-200 under (except on the weekends when i have no problem eating all my calories!) What are some good foods i could add to fill those calories? I don't really want to add any rice, pastas, or breads since I'm already…
