Jacqueline K 93 Posted July 31, 2013 Someone had metioned heating wuest bars to make them taste better...did I misread that? I just tried the choc chip cookie dough and not a fan but didn't know if heating really does help HW 363lbs SD 4/16/13 CW 301lbs I have read that too but haven't tried it.

Pr1ncessJulee 116 Posted July 31, 2013 Before surgery I would sub plain Greek yogurt for sour cream. Adds Protein to the dish. I tested with my kids on tacos one night and they couldn't tell the difference,.neither could I. Just thought I'd share this tip.

It's almost like quitting smoking. Me too! Wanted to make a box of angel hair parmesan pasta sooooo bad! I keep looking at the box. Finally I just came upstairs away from food. I hate it when this happens! I know that if I made it id only be able to eat a little bit and would feel yucky. So then do I still crave it? UGH! frustrating!

I don't really care for them unless they're warm. 15 seconds in the microwave softens them up and changes the flavor and consistency for the better.

graceann0888 145 Posted July 31, 2013 Here is my pizza stuffed zucchini I made last night. Of course I could only eat about 1/4 of it but great leftovers! I sliced a zucchini from our garden, scooped the seeds out to make a boat shape. Then put a couple tablespoons of fresh puréed tomatoes also from the garden, sprinkled a little feta and LF mozzarella with some Italian seasoning, topped with quartered Turkey pepperoni. Bake at 375 for 30 mins! Soft and delicious. Great pizza alternative. 5 KellyLessBelly, ArmyOfMe, futuremrsparker and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would that be a good alternative? I bet it would be good with pesto. I make it with a meat sauce (I use ground turkey) and some Parmesan cheese. I haven't had it since my surgery.

I make it with a meat sauce (I use ground turkey) and some Parmesan cheese. I haven't had it since my surgery. Love spaghetti squash, but there's nothing like pasta...I've resigned myself to an almost carb-less life, alas. Carbs got me fat, and I'm totally addicted to them, so I try not to even go there. Going to state fair this weekend, should be interesting trying to find something to eat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
