I am so freaking hot today! Stupid impending summer.  Because of this, I really wanted a nice, cold smoothie, so I improvised one!  I have some frozen fruit I bought (I think it's peaches, strawberries, grapes, and melon), and I put 3/4 cup (a serving) of it in the blender followed by 3/4 cup fat-free vanilla yogurt, 1/4 cup light vanilla soy milk ( Read more... )

I've been jonesing for tacos/quesadilla lately, so I tried a Cheesy "Beef" quesadilla recipe from Hungry Girl (found here: www.hungry-girl.com/chew/chewdetails.php).  Basically, it's Boca meatless crumbles, fat-free cheddar cheese, fat-free sour cream, taco seasoning, half a Laughing Cow Light Swiss wedge, and a tortilla.  The recipe as written is ( Read more... )

So, as you might have gathered if you read iowayehudit , I have been trying to exercise more with the Wii Fit, and I love it!  I used it every day before I left for England (until I got a stupid, horrible cold), and I've used it every day since last Sunday.  It really keeps me motivated!  Unfortunately, I did gain some weight over Christmas and while I was in ( Read more... )

The holiday dust has settled, and I don't even want to think of all the things I shoved in my pie-hole over the past month. The important thing is that I'm back on the WW wagon, and even with future setbacks (which will surely occur!), I will always get back on the WW wagon ( Read more... )

I obviously haven't written in forever, and I'm up to my ears in stressful work (comps in less than two weeks now!), but I had to alert you to two tasty new Hungry Girl recipes I've made recently. Yesterday I made this pumpkin bread recipe, and it made my apartment smell like happiness (i.e. cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice). It's also only two ( Read more... )

I haven't been cooking too much lately, so I don't have any recipes to report (that could change tonight, as I'm going to make a dessert to take to Travis and Jess's tomorrow!), but I do have two new food reviews for you, as well as a judgement on a recent Hungry Girl recipe!

A few weeks ago I noticed a tasty-looking Hungry Girl recipe for a ( Read more... )

So I honestly can't remember where I found this now, and I don't know if it really has any validity, but check out this website that's supposed to translate your food cravings into what your body really needs: go here! For instance, if you're craving toast, your body needs nitrogen, which can be found in high protein foods. Interesting. I ( Read more... )

Well, I'm obviously back, posting tasty food entries! Besides the cooking I've been doing, I've been thinking about the staples of my WW diet; of course I want to share them with you ( Read more... )

So, a while ago my mom told me about some tasty, tasty vegetarian sloppy joe's that she had made from a Light and Tasty recipe (it's a magazine, if you're unaware). She sent me the recipe, and a few weeks ago I tried it - and loved it! It couldn't be easier, too.

Let's move on to the next recipe, shall we? :) This past week I was craving Chinese food like a crazy person, so I found a recipe on WW.com for Orange Chinese Chicken and decided to cook it on Saturday. It really was insanely good!
