Missy, The taco soup sounds sooo good!  I may have to try it this week! Thanks Robin

I share in your excitement.  I would say though these recipes are not much different then regular food.  I would try to earn how to ditch the canned foods and use fresh or dried products.  You need to get away from the salt that is in most if not all canned foods, especially if you but them at Aldi's or other low cost store. Don't  get the idea I am trying to squelch you just trying to guide toward a true healthy respect for the food we eat. I was on a 2 day vacation and tried foods that I don't normally eat and was able to eat without dumping.  I had a long talk with myself and asked Becky's help in keeping me accountable and on the wagon.   I was around people that don't cook, eat out a lot and if they do buy food it is Bob Evans potato and extras out of the dairy case. I was appalled at the sodium level. I don't for now want to even try sweets because

I donno the dieticians at clarian bariatrics said canned vegtables are just as good as fresh vegtables exspecially the tomatoes they said-

The Taco Soup is great...it is a weigh****chers recipe...I have made it for years.
