hey you, you do mean Yummus right?..hehe.....Yes its VERY high in Protein, its really good for u i think. The chickpeas and the oilve oil...(drooling).lol.....but you can eat it with other things besides bread. Like veggies, or on toasted whole wheat. i eat it with small crackers sometimes and just chew chew chew....it seems to go down just fine.

hey everyone, my family is italian, so i am and will always be addiacted to Pasta. so i figured, if i'm going to eat it, i'll be smart about it. I but alot of whole wheat or whole grain pasta and i make it fresh when i have the time. one of my favorite recipes is to cook up some pasta then in a seperate pan cook up 1lb of skinless chicken breast 2 cloves of garlic 1/2 a white onion minced then when the chicken is cooked 3/4 of the way add 2 cans of cream of broccoli Soup (make it with chicken stock instead of milk for more flavor) so let this sauce start to simmer to make the sauce a little thicker, i add 1/2 a cup of shredded fat free chedder cheese and let it melt in. its really good...and if you make the sauce with chicken stock as aposed to milk, your cutting the fat and calorie intake when i make this i always make a big green salad and cut up vegtables on the side. enjoy all iamcanadian25

i had a chicken quesadilla..(spelling)..lol it had a whole wheat tortilla 2 oz of low fat chedder diced green onions diced tomatos diced red pepper diced green olives and some left over chicken breast and i had a bit of salsa on the side... soooo yummy, and i only go threw 1/2!!! oh well....good for lunch tommorow...

So. i had the day off, and i went to the grocery store to get some things for supper. There was a sale on side pork ribs, i thinking eh..i'll get' um...everyone likes ribs. So i get home...and i season them and put them in the fridge to let them get yummy. 2 Hrs before dinner..i turned the BBQ on real low, and put the ribs on. well....they sat in the BBq for 2 hrs, until dinner was ready. While they were cooking i brushed them with a sauce i had made with canadian club rye. so everyone was sitting down to supper, i had made ribs and steamed green beens with seasme oil and lemon juice, and some roasted garlic mash potatoes, and i took a bite of a rib, and chewed it till no tommorow, swallowed it...and after a few bites, WOW did it hurt!. i guess i'm still not ready for some meats yet...
