It's so quiet lately, and I'm bored at work!

Who else goes to the ren faire? Do you dress up? My friends and I are going this weekend. It's going to be my first and probably only visit to the faire this year. I'm afraid to go more often because it will derail my weightloss.
I really like it though.. it's so much fun!

I'm so upset, for several reasons. I found out this morning that my mother in law, who has kept my son since he was 6 weeks old, will no longer be able to keep him. She wants to have him a few days a week but that's all. Around here there are no part time day cares so he will have to go into one full time. I'm upset with her because this is out ...

Hey everyone! Lots of newbies!

I have 3 Boxes of Peach Oatmeal that I would like to trade for three boxes of Maple and Brown Sugar. Even if you have 1 box and a few packets of M&BS, I'd make it an even trade.

I have traded about 5-6 times successfully in the past. And I would be willing to send with delivery confirmation (and would appreciate the same)!

Please reply...I can't take the fake-fruit ...

I know it's been posted, but I thought I would revisit it just in case someone missed it.

I made them so easily again today and they were so good I had to share. I might just have these once in a while instead of my L & G as a meal. Definite good breakfast, though.


All I did was mix 2 packets of oatmeal (so I could have some later on, too) with a ...

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to say hi, and that I lurk a lot!

I have very much enjoyed reading the journals here and have been wanting to add my own. So here goes...

Let's see... where shall I start? Well, how about an introduction? Great idea! My name is Heather and I live in Arizona. Yes, ANOTHER zonie! I have met up with the AZ ladies once for dinner and that was fun! I ...

Hi There,
I know there are bunch of dog lovers on the forum. I catch you talking about your "pals" ever so often. So I thought I'd share about our latest pooch. Well actually he is my daughter's dog and joins two others at her house. First is a big (130 lb girl) an English Mastiff/ Black Lab cross who is a sweetheart named Heidi. Then there is a pesky dalmation named Dottie. She has ...

Use a potato masher to mash the cauliflower before serving. It's like eating a spicy tomato soup with rice. Or allow the soup to cool, puree in a food processor, reheat and serve as a "creamy" soup.

4 servings

1 lb. cauliflower florets
1-3/4 lbs. (28 oz) undrained canned tomatoes, diced or crushed
2 cups prepared vegetable or beef bouillon
1 chopped onion
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. curry powder
1/8 tsp. ground cumin ...

I have been reading the ingredients in the MF bars and have seen that they add HFCS! (High Fructose Corn Syrup) As much as I have read about HFCS, it is horrid and yet, my fave bars contain it! What can I do? I am doing so well with my eating....feeling great...shopping once again in my closet! But I just don't agree with the HFCS contained in the bars.....

I had my L&G for afternoon meal 'cause somewhere today I am off by an hour and Dh had to have an earlier dinner 'cause he has practice at 6pm. Anyway I tried the recipe here for tuna patties. I think Sidrah posted it. It was pretty good considering I dont like hot tuna. Dh and I (our daughter too) liked them.

Seriously tho, 6oz of tuna is A LOT of tuna. I opened two ...

Does anyone have a good MF approved recipe for mashed cauliflower?
I used to use laughing cow cheese in mine, but now don't know how to make it since starting MF.
Thanks!!!
