I had this recipe long before I started MF, but just realized it would make an ideal L & G and it's soooo good.

Rosemary Chicken

1 small onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, cut into pieces
4 chicken breasts
1 t. dry rosemary or 1 T. fresh
1/2 head cabbage, cut into wedges
4 potatoes, quartered (I leave these for my kids to have, but turnips could be easily substituted)
1/2 t. salt and pepper ...

Okay so I think I have my answer to the banana pudding, which was the MF meal I dreaded most. I turned it into a shake. Loads of ice, a splash of Buttered Rum DV SF syrup and a lot of pumpkin pie spice. Yum. I think I will do the pudding as shakes from now on because really not a fan of the texture of any puddings.

Hi all,

So someone suggested to heat the oatmeal raisin bars and I tried it and it was great. I took a small fork, put the bar on a small plate, and it was like eating pastry. This morning I did it with the lemon bar and it was yummy too. Going to try it with all of them. But have to be careful as you can only nuke them for 20 seconds or so ...

Hi to everyone. I am relatively new to this. Only ten days. I wonder if anyone else experienced fatigue and/or headaches in the beginning? I do not feel so great. But I have stuck to this because I really do need to lose the weight. Size 18 and not happy about it. I did start the program doing a lot of research on how to stick to this by finding recipes that made the food ...

Thanks for all the help with my stove top issues.

Now I have a new question. I love okras. Are they legal?

Hi all,

Newbie question: Is stove top cooking okay? I really don't like microwaves at all. Can I just prepare the soups and such in my little glass saucepan? I also like to cook the soup in the water I steamed my veggies in for the L&G, so if I can stovetop instead of micro I'd be happy. I can save my soups and oatmeal for when I am at home and take the shakes, ...

so I take it you have to let the bubble get out of the soda before putting it in the magic bullet??? I would love to try some of those recipes using soda but am leary of having an explosion... I think this question was asked before but can't find the answer...

Ok, so I know that real oj is not allowed, and I really HATE the orange shake, but love orange juice.

I figured out a pretty good substitute.

1 cap full of lemon extract
1 cap full of orange extract
1 packet splenda
16-20 oz of water

Put it all in a bottle of cup, shake/stir and enjoy

I have the small bottles of both extracts, so they have small caps. If you try this, ...
