Please heed to what our fellow bandsters warn. All it takes is one slip of that needle to end up putting a pin hole in the tube that is attached to the port, to cause a leakage.

Sending good vibes your way! Keep us posted on your progress (hugs)

Made these Low-fat version Crab Cakes, and I have to say they are pretty good! Ingredients: 1 lb. Crabmeat (I used Louis Kemp) any kind of lump crabmeat will be fine 2 large eggs (beaten) 2 scallions (diced) 1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped fine) 1/4 cup cocktail sauce 1/4 tsp. black pepper 1/2 red pepper (diced fine) 1/2 cup Light Mayo 1 lemon, juiced (lemon juice will work just fine) 1 tsp. Old Bay seasoning 1 tsp. tabasco sauce 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs (I used whole wheat breadcrumbs instead) 3 tbs. cooking oil (I use canola) **if you don't have all the ingredients you can substitute** Directions: In medium mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except the panko breadcrumbs and Cooking Oil. When all of the ingredients are combined, gently mix in panko crumbs. Form crab cake patties using 1/3-cup mixture per patty. Place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Place Cooking Oil in large, nonstick skillet, and brown patties over medium heat and sauté the patties until they are golden brown on each side. Serve warm.

Looks Yummo! I have to look for more flavors from this brand, cause I do not really care for the mint flavors, but love chocolate!!

<---- :X

I have made cauliflower mashed taters before. Hubby really was confused when he saw it on the plate cause he thought it was the real deal. He said it was a pretty good alternative, but of course he still wants his 'real' taters, LOL

B- I am a huge lover of crab cakes! Miss those huge hunks of Maryland crabcakes! mmm mmmm

You and me both ... I am always looking for low-fat, low-carb recipes to try. Not a professional cook, but my husband would beg to differ

CG, you making me more hungry girl......

ooOOO that looks deeeeeeeelish! I wanted to jump through the comp and take a bite! Thanks for sharing this recipe, I am soooo trying this!

Terry, we are bracing ourselves here! My daughter just called me up and said "OMG Mom, the gas stations are completely jammed up for blocks".... See, this is how we do it in NJ!!

The blue polish is pretty...

CG, Terry wants polished nails and high heels - we can handle this right, LOL I can do about 2 and half inches now, not quite 3. hahahaaaa.

Be safe everyone!!!

Yes, the weathermen are saying.... we are tracking "Nemo" (the name of our storm), LOL I just pray we don't lose power (crossing fingers) NJ can't handle another crisis on their hands, too soon after Sandy!

I will sweety!! YOU too!!! we are doing this together ^5 Proud of ya Now, go enjoy yourself, you deserve it!

Irene, come get me!!! I need to be rescued from the storm we are about to have, LOL Enjoy (hugs)

You are going to get at least a 100 different answers about this... Trial and error is how we learn what our bodies need for nurishment, to stay healthy, and to lose weight. In 'my' personal experience, I never drank Protein drinks, however I am not getting my recommended daily calories in and wanted to 'up' my protein. Through experimenting I found I needed the Protein Drink daily. I continue to lose steady with drinking a protein shake every day, it does NO harm what so ever to me, I am just about making my daily caloric quota and deff. getting in all the protein my body needs. There are protein shakes out there you can find that are only 110-160 calories, 1 gram fat, 4 grams of carbs, and 25 grams protein in each scoop. Walmart has a 2lb tub for only $19.99 (chocolate frosty), Its pretty tasty and very affordable. *** DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU***
