Here’s some advice that you’ll never see on another diet and food blog: don’t use those forked hose adapter thingies on your outside faucet. Because if you do, the water will freeze in it, bust a pipe, and leak into your basement the first time you use the garden hose in the spring. Yes, that’s [...]
If you’re a Biggest Loser fan, you may know about the Pound For Pound Challenge to help fight hunger. (Read my post Join the Pound For Pound Challenge and help feed the hungry to learn more about it.) Well, here’s your friendly reminder to log in to www.PFPChallenge.com by May 5 to report your weight [...]
It’s been awhile since I posted about my experience with the Sensa Weight Loss System. After six months, I’ve drawn some conclusions to whether it works or not. Any guesses? See if you’re right in my Sensa roundup: six months and beyond post at This Mama Cooks! Reviews. Don’t know what Sensa is or want [...]
I grew up eating a Dannon coffee yogurt every morning for breakfast. This was back when Dannon was the only yogurt sold in grocery stores, years before Yoplait showed up. Now there are a million types of yogurt to choose from – no fat, low fat, lite, artificially sweetened, yogurt for kids, organic, probiotic, baby [...]
As part of the Weight Watchers Momentum plan, you are encouraged to drink eight cups of liquid a day. The difference from a few years back is that you can include everything you drink – tea, coffee, diet soda, milk, fruit juice, etc. – and not just water. I’m glad to hear that because I’m [...]
This week I thought I’d post about some of my favorite food items I’m using while doing the Weight Watchers Momentum plan. One of the foods I eat almost daily is Flatout Flatbread wraps. I especially like their Healthy Grain Multi-Grain with Flax wraps I buy at Costco, though I’ve tried a few varieties at [...]
You’d think that the last thing someone on a diet would want to do is read a book about food and cooking. Au contraire, I love a good culinary memoir! Reading them gives me the satisfaction of enjoying wonderful and stories of cooking because I’m grazing with my mind and not eating with my mouth [...]
Honey Kix® is a new version of the cereal that has been “Kid-Tested, Mother-Approved®” since 1937. Honey Kix contains 16 grams of whole grain per serving, no artificial flavors or preservatives, and each serving of the cereal provides a good source of fiber, as well as calcium and vitamin D for bone health. It sounded interesting, [...]
You think I was joking when I posted last week that I was thinking of making a meringue dessert recipe. Well, since I bought more eggs (I just cannot resist 50% off brown organic eggs) I am very tempted to try this recipe from Taste of Home’s “Light Dessert of the Week” email newsletter for [...]
The kids are on Spring Break, so I’ve invited Zane, the owner of Best Diet Pills, a website that focuses on providing consumers with no nonsense diet and diet pill reviews, to do a guest post to help out during this busy week. The Satisfying Power of Protein and Fiber Rich Foods Dietary experts assert [...]
Here are the links to all the Weight Watchers frittata dishes I made this week: Asparagus, New Potato and Chive Frittata Spinach and Cheddar Frittata Potato and Pepper Frittata Corn and Green Chile Frittata Frittata with Spaghetti and Tomato I still have three dozen eggs left in refrigerator, but at least that’s more manageable than [...]
Even though I probably won’t want to see let along eat another frittata for a few weeks, I have to say that they’re an incredibly easy dish to make. Assuming you have the ingredients on hand like eggs, reduced fat cheese, skim milk, and some vegetables, you can whip up a frittata in very little [...]
I have a bag of frozen spinach staring at me every time I open the freezer, so I wanted to try some in a frittata. However, this recipe calls for fresh. I know frozen spinach can be soggy, so I’ll make sure to defrost it first and dress out the excess moisture. Another idea would [...]
