THE BIGGEST LOSER finale is next week!!!! When you go on NBC.com to vote, I saw that they have prior episodes there. They used to allow to call in BUT then there would be no advertisements.

Walden Farms has tooooooooooooo many chemicals for me. Please go to your local health food store and get some extracts..they have maple extract which I add to everything and I also use orange to add a nice taste Walden Farms jellys are horrible...so I put crannies in our tiny sandwichs and that works BUT Walmart sells jell and I make my own jellies and jams and yummo......I wish I had a recipe just do it I currently have yummo cranberry jam...boiled some cranberries in Water till explodes....continued cooking for awhile..then added some strawberries (could have used any fruit) after cooking awhile.....then blend in blender....let it cool some....then add your stevia (if you use splenda..now is the time to add)...put in a little jar and refrigerate. When you cook with stevia you add when cooled down some.. otherwise you lose the sugar taste.. I bake with stevia also but that must be used in an oven temperature less than 325 and you have to ad some sugar (so I add either one teaspoon of sugar or a dab of agava syrup or a heap of my powder shake which is sweentened with fructose from fruit.

Cosco food Warehouse sells breaded tilapia in the frozen section...I think the brand is Trident and I have used it but I do not own a microwave...so I would not know how to explain.

sounds good to me

tracey I did watch the BIGGEST LOSER last night...If anyone wants to vote,,,nbc.com is the place and I have voted for LIZ this morning...she is in her 40s and believe me that had to be sooooooo hard for her I had DH watch... but he complained..next week is th finals and my tissue box will be out have a great day, all laura aka jolly or when watching the biggest loser..cry baby

Cosco has the big hummas containers but now they sell them in 80 calories portions........out here they fly off the shelf...so when I find it ... I put three boxes in the basement... It is 80 calories and it limits you since each one is a portion size...my son loves them also but he eats 2 or 3. For me... I do not have to finish the big container or allow it to call me............lol

Suzie- WE all have family like that...... welcome to the group. As for the WW, their is an excellent thread for WW. On the thread listed, is an online site is for WW. You are so busy..how do you find the time? Laura

Maybe a more liquidy lunch like soup, might work! Part of it is the tension. When I had an assignment outside of the home...I COULD NOT HOLD DOWN LUNCH. I really understand!!!

I do not own a microwave...my DH put alumin foil in it twice...so no microwave BUT a friend from my group... buys the Wendys chili and puts it in freezer and mcrowaves it when needed. It works for her!!! I make mine (recipe given) and freeze portion sizes :0) Love my chili :0)

You can drink Orange Juice? when I DO its horrible (uncomfortable) so even though dr and dieticican said OK,,,I stay away...had some when making my cranberry sauce and felt it. It is OK for me to cook with it but NOT drinking.

My area is a mess The President is at West Point :tongue: In our county they murdered a teacher on Sunday and now they have a manhunt in the adjacent village......OMG... they have cannine dogs from three counties :wub::smile: Last night...I said they better not cancel my BIGGEST LOSER, when the President has his speech..NOW... My friend called to stay off the roads...........:crying: That is why I do not want the 9/11 creeps in this country for their trial.......... When the A US PResident has been at West Point.. we know.. and I am not near West Point.. the highways have loads of police ... BTW..... West Point is remarkable .... and that is an understatement!!

My clan would not eat that...but OMG...looks so good! I had that problem at the beginning with the pasta...it is the chewing thing try rice.... but my nutritionist wants me to eat more Protein so.......... As for your post about the pizza, I could not believe it.. your link showing the product is sold here at my local store and NEVER thought of buying it. Who thought that pizza would have the protein in it.. Had to reedit this .... I do not belong to sams club... I will ask my friend to get the chicken for ME.....it sounds so good I am a cosco person

ThANKS.....I JUST ORDERED...S/H was 6.95 and well worth it. I use the product from HSN. I use Andrew Lessman shakes and since I use so much I order it from his place instead of HSN. I noticed that Chike had recipes.. I add my shake to a lot of items for extra protein NOt for me but my family... my teenager is a poor eater. Thanks again for your post........ love shakes so excited!

Folkies...the statue of limitations is usually three years but they can go back to prior years if their is a smell of fraud on a good note Since, the IRS is computerized they do check for people claiming a dependent (in this case,,,, the child) on more that one return that is one thing they find quickly...years ago, the IRS keyed in your return..now most of the country e-files IF you get a discrepancy notice because another person claimed the dependent,,,,answer the response ASAP and they will take action ... against the other person It happens alot where people actually have put on their tax return a wrong social security number... thats why it is important to take care of a descrepancey right away. When you answer the IRS it sort of freezes further action..becuase you are putting them on notice that you see the problem and that you are not a fly by night. Then they will definitely help you with the situation. DEPENDING on the situation..there are timely reponses but they will tell you..or check out the site.. but always repeat alway respond asap or run to your tax preparer and (s)he will take care of it...ask for a copy of the letter they send..to guarentee it was sent and keep a log of everything you did once you received the notice...no joke .... you have to keep copies of your personal items..especially old forms.. do not belive me...think of all the Madoff folks who did not save their old returns......... i

OMG...are they allowed to do that????

I have got to post this my MIL who is in great shape....just had some adjustments to her heart...but still like she says in GREAT shape... was just told she has celiac by the rehab hospital It does make sense because whenever she eats bread she gets bloated not FAT>..she was never fat!!!!! Could you believe this and at 89 I went with her when the dumb as$ doctor made at her age take that test that you go up your as$ and they found nothing wrong EXCEPT me who told the dumb as$... at her age you should be ashamed of yourself, giving her that exam... which, knowing that he would have me there next time..told her he would never ever do her again..... they found nothing (duh)

I have never posted on this thread. I do post on others and saw yours was from Ireland as a new posts section. Here goes....I belong to a Yahoo group (not this board) and it is a crochet club. It is a very nice group and I would like to know.... does anyone of you have crochet patterns for a FOUR leaf clover? The woman that I am going to give to ... is crocheting loads of Irish items for her son and his future new wife (who turns out to be Irish also)..... THE MOTHER IS SO JOYFUL. She wrote to me off the boards about her true joy.....so can you please help with a pattern for my new Irish friend. Anyway, any help would be desired.

The seasoning is OLD BAY and it comes in a yellow tin with a red/orange top sold in the spice section......states used for seafood and has three pictures of seafood on it:w00t::confused::w00t:

The smell is intoxicating......... LOVE...LOVE... Wendy's Chile...our Weight Watchers has always put it on its required foods list........ me, I loved the founder of Wendys because he tried to get kids out of Foster Care and every Halloween I purchase the little books of shakes and give it to the kids for trick or treat....This year I left a book for myself (for those days)... the small size is toooo much for me...

Girls.......... you need to fill out this form otherwise the IRS will find you.......also check it out on their site irs.gov or speak to your preparer but you need this form Form 8332 Non Custodial Release form and attach it to your tax return

If you have to up your Protein....how about using Quiona? I will buy some barley because I do LIKE your recipe. It would be like eating a healthy danish but with a spoon. Your recipe goes with my nuttyness on this way of life... eat foods that make you feel and look like you are endulging, yet you are not and..benefit..is the weight loss... If you have any ones like this can you please post or send directly to my email.

Just had to share this MY BEST FRIEND spoke to me this morning and told me that she was thowing away her left over turkey. SO....... I said did you save the drippings???????? and she does not...becasue she feels that it is fatty so, if you take the drippings and put in the refrig the fat comes to the top and it makes a great gravy as is to make our food easier to go down..plus it has all those yummy herbs in it....I also put in thru a strainer so it is beautifully thin. the reason that I posted this is that gravy is ok, and it does make you feel like you are cheating Yesterday, I did put a turkey in my frig ro defrost because DH enjoys it and I get the gravy. I then put cooked portions in freezer and use when needed. MY DH works from the home, so it is an easy and tasty quick lunch or dinner.

I have a friend got a call from her school principal. Her son goes to a jewish school and the Rabbi called. He asked her what was wrong with her son? Let me tell you, she said nothing wrong, as her heart fell. He called because all the kids chucked down the macaroni and cheese, and her son did not. NOW, who does not love macaroni and cheese and theirs are made fresh. So she RAN repeat RAN to school to check out her son (4 th grade).... It turns out he would not eat it because it tasted funny...did not taste like hers WHY HERS??????????? She adds the yellow can of seafood seasoning with the crab on it to everything for a zing....... and it is KOSHER WOULD YOU BELIEVE>... DS my fresh macaroni and cheese (did not tell him... but he said good cheese) and add to fish and I make everything from scratch and it is soooooo good
