I was recently diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, so am attempting to eliminate as much dairy and other options out of my diet. My go to protein shakes all have dairy due to being whey protein. Bought a big ol' tub of Organic protein (chocolate) fro

I teach tech K-5, and integrate the tech skills into the content areas (Ela, math, science, etc.) Each year I do a unit and ask students to write an essay on some type of question where the answer is an opinion that should be supported with evidence an

Here in the upper peninsula of Michigan they make pasties. It is sort of like a hot pocket filled with meat, potatoe, rutabega, carrot, and seasoning. I like it covered in gravy best, but many prefer a good one without gravy and sometimes they use ketc

Went to Trader Joe and found harissa paste! I am stoked, because I had been paying $5 a tube on Amazon and TJ's is under $3 for twice as much. If you have not tried this stuff it adds a ton of flavor to meats, sauces, fish, etc. It has heat so on your

Fell in love with the hubby when we were young camping. Raised out kids camping, but switched to a pop-up trailer due to the weight being such an issue making tent camping too uncomfortable. Then just stopped going altogether due to heat/weight issues.

Earlier this morning I had to drive over some furniture for my daughter who just moved into her apartment. Noticed on the way back that the local Mexican grocer was grilling chicken in the parking lot. Hubby was intrigued- and hungry. So we stop and pi

For those reading this who have no idea what I might be talking about, Kombucha is a fermented tea with the devotees swearing about the positive impacts on health. Booch is just a nick name. 

Anyway, I do not fall into the devotee this will cur

I have a Coolyo near me, and they always have frozen yogurt that is only 8 calories per ounce. I love that I can do 4 ounces for 32 calories, and it tastes great for nearly all flavors. Just thought I would post in case you are near a yogurt place that

Anyone have a recipe that they like for a chicken coating that is a little easier on the caloric/carb load? I can seem to get one or the other lowered, but not both. 

Bought a big ol' container of imitation crab meat at Sams yesterday assuming the nutrition profile would be solid given the seafood like genre. Nope. Loaded with sugar and carbs, and doesn't meet my ratio of 1 gram of protein to 10 calories. Argghh. Ha

Just saw a blurb on a tv show about Cricket flour. Sounds gross, but the guy who tried it on the show liked it in banana bread. 10g protein and less than 2 carbs, 90 cals. Anyone here try it? Hubby is repulsed by it, but hell- I will try anything with

Hi,

This summer I made a "bucket list", and put trying something called Komucha on it. Ended up finding it at Trader Joe's for around $3 a bottle. I fell in love with this stuff on the first sip, and bought enough to have a serving a day for me and the hub

We had left over boneless turkey breast that we grilled last night. Mixed up 1 cup plain FF greek yogurt with 1 tablespoon of harissa paste, and let that set for 30 minutes (overnight is better on that). Diced the chilled turkey, added the harissa yogu

Plan on making this for the hubby while he tries to whitte down his weight. This is pretty sleeve friendly to boot. I will be substituting Splenda for the sugar. Thinking of tossing it in my whip cream maker- pretty sure it will work and save the mixin

Hey all,

Wondering if anyone out there has a tried and true Greek yogurt cheesecake recipe, ideally with no cream cheese. I did find a few online, but hoping someone out there has one they actually like :) 

Hubby originally lost 100 pounds with me back during my weight loss phase. He is really geting fluffy again, and has regain about 35. I know everyone knows the drill, he talks a lot about needing to lose it, about stayiing away from crap food, etc.  Bu
