  1. Try cooking the quinoa in chicken or vegetable broth. That's what I do and it helps it to have more flavor. Sorry I forgot to mention that earlier.
  2. It tastes good! Kind of a couscous consistency going on. Here are a few recipes, but you could google a lot more. Quinoa Recipes: Healthy vegetarain recipes using nutrient-rich quinoa. Legs
  3. Try some quinoa. It's pretty much a perfect food! Quinoa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  4. I may have to check that out. Thanks! :confused_smile:
  5. DING DING DING! We have a winner! lol Yes, the knee brows suck because they show THROUGH thin pants. Considering the alternative, I guess I'll keep them though.
  6. Two words: knee brows. Please tell me I'm not the only one?

    Concern with my lower legs

    I'd suggest you talk to your PCP about these symptoms. If it would happen to be lymphedema, the sooner you seek treatment the better. Just thought I'd mention it.

    annielkd, congrats on your success! I also feel like a completely new person. I have so much energy, where before I had less than zero. The year did fly by....

    Congrats on your success, Laurie! And on your blabbermouthedness! I, too, tend to tell just about everyone. Have a great weekend, everyone!

    Thanks, Laura, and yes this year will be even better! Every day is a celebration for me now. :-)
  13. I speak on a panel of post-ops at my surgeon's mandatory Behavioral Health "class". I was very nervous the first time, but it's pretty informal. There are usually 3 to 5 of us (and up to 13 of them) and we just remain seated in a circle of tables and chairs. I never even thought about not doing it when I was asked. To me, it adds yet another layer of accountability, and I can always use that! Not only that, but I feel like I'm "paying back" and that's a great feeling.

    Laura, you must be feeling very betrayed and I don't blame you. Maybe you should just simply let your sister know, "Now I know who I can trust" and leave it at that. Maybe it would make more of an impression than a lot of "discussion" about what happened. As far as surprising your family, sure they would have been more surprised without seeing the pictures, but seeing you in person will bring 3 dimensions to it. In other words, it will still be a surprise of sorts. I'm sorry your feelings are hurt. :-(

    Tomorrow is my bandaversary! However, I am wondering if I should celebrate (which would almost surely include an alcoholic beverage or two) or just treat it as a normal day and save the calories. Hmmmm....

    I don't think there were any problems right here in Springfield. All's well here. Thanks for asking!

    Are you lacking iron?

    I tend to be anemic so I just take one Slow FE tab every morning. It keeps my iron levels in line.
  22. Just curious...do the Viactiv chews also include minerals?

    Healthy side dishes -Kid friendly?

    I always keep baby carrots and zucchini on hand. I steam them either separately or together. Add a little margarine...yummm! Or they might like those same veggies raw with a dressing.
