This was AWESOME! The house smelled heavenly while it baked. DH thought it tasted like a cinnamon roll, but not as heavy. I made a few modifications to lighten it -- used 5 TBSP butter, used skim milk (but will probably use low-fat evaporated milk or fat free half and half next time), omitted...

Smoked salmon and goat cheese -- need I say more? Yum! Smoked-Salmon, Goat-Cheese, and Fresh-Dill Frittata from Cooking Light magazine Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 wedge) Cooking spray 2 1/2 cups shredded peeled baking potato or refrigerated shredded hash brown potatoes...

I used 3 cups broccoli instead of 5, used Mexican cheese blend, used 4 cloves garlic, added cayenne pepper, extra Dijon mustard, and topped with thinly sliced tomato. This would be a nice, light dinner too. Baked mine longer than 40 minutes, because it seemed "wet." Omitted the toast...

Looks like Drew will be crawling soon. He gets up and goes backwards, looking at you the whole time. He gets so frustrated because he's moving away from us LOL Jen, meant to say that it sounds to me like James is teething. With the excessive drooling, he's swallowing a lot of saliva, which...

I started to reply yesterday, but got sidetracked and never returned LOL Melanie, glad to hear you had a great day, but sorry to hear you're struggling. I think I had PPD after Drew's birth, but wasn't really sure -- I was so tired and so overwhelmed by his neediness. You have so much on...

Christine, you're welcome. I actually found the link through this site (I was trying to see what options there are for padded cart covers). Cool that you contacted her! I thought the clothes looked like fun, without looking like obvious knee pads. Way to go, DH, on the dumb ass back fat...

Christine, I'm sure you've already found this site, but if you haven't, it looks neat. Now that Drew is up on his knees and rocking back and forth, I've got crawling on the brain! http://www.bruzwear.com/index2.html

Christine and Jen, HAHAHA! My DH does that too -- it makes me chuckle to hear him whine about how tiring they are. No duh. Why do you think I wanted to take a break -- to go to the grocery store! Christine, gosh, I never thought about the possibility of bruising from the shopping cart. I...

A couple weeks ago someone mentioned whole wheat pizza crust. I like this recipe from Eating Well magazine because it's easy, it's fast, and it tastes really good. It's a bit bland, which allows the toppings to shine. But I've added herbs and some parm to the crust, too -- yum! I have...

This is one of my favorite, superfast soups. It is really good! I drain and rinse the beans, and just add water to the pot to compensate. INSTANT BLACK BEAN SOUP from Cooking Light Yield: 5 servings (serving size: 1 cup soup, 1 1/2 tablespoons cheese, 1 tablespoon onions, 1...

Made these last week too. I thought they were awesome, and loved how healthy they are. I have made this before, as a casserole (with the peppers cut up, the meat already cooked, using cooked brown rice instead of bulghur). This time, I made it as written. Fantastic! You could easily make...

I made the other night. The house smelled soooo good while it baked! I used 3 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts and 3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Based on several of the reviews at myrecipes.com, I doubled the sauce. And, I added some herbs to the sauce too -- tarragon, thyme...

Jen, shower action? You go, girl! DH and I were just reminiscing the other night, about how we used to have fun all over the house at any time of day. Now it's "dangerous" to have fun in the living room at night, in case Ella wakes up LOL Melanie, I have a friend in Minneapolis who has...

Melanie, I can't imagine how (mentally) tiring it would be to take that many people to the eye doc on the same day, at the same time. Whew! CONGRATS on your awesome time :) I'm so excited for you, and so proud of you for pushing yourself so hard for something you really wanted. Four days...

Happy Saturday :) Susan, enjoy the shower. Is your company there now, or coming next week? Hope the showing went well. It stinks trying to sell a house, especially when you have to put away all the baby stuff every time. Christine, sounds like a nice garden! I buy my veggie plants when...

So, my UPS guy was here today! I'm so excited!! Thanks, Christine :)

Susan, I love your house too! I hope we live in a house with big rooms one day. I'm sure you'll sell it in a heartbeat. And I have total kitchen envy :) Jen, I thought of a couple other things for your friend. All Free & Clear laundry detergent, much cheaper than Dreft and she can wash...

Anti-chafing -- Melanie, do you have Body Glide? That stuff is the BOMB! I used it both years I did the 60-mile Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk. Used it for all my weeks of training (walking about 40 miles a week), too. I never -- NEVER -- got a blister, even walking in the rain! That would be...

Insanity it is!! How can I argue with that many endorsements?! No UPS at my house today; I have something to look forward to :D I'm debating trying Chalean now, and returning to STS (starting again with Meso 1) when CLX is done. Any thoughts? I've never thought of myself as one to "bulk...

Melanie, I like Clean Eating mag too. I hope you'll enjoy it! Christine, I second Mel's question. I meant to ask you what cookbooks you purchased!! I'm always on the lookout for a new cookbook :) I just picked up Secrets of a Skinny Chef, but haven't made anything yet. Susan, how on...
