THanks. I will try this asap. :)

We do this with almost all of our meats. We do a little non-stick olive oil spray to get them seared on the outside so they retain their juices and then finish cooking them in the oven. We get the nice seared cooked taste without adding all the fat. It's really been a great trick.

I reeeeallllly wanted to lay in bed and watch netflix and munch all night but I did NOT.

Gas Stations are a new threat to me! On my way home I needed to get gas so while I was pumping my gas I thought about how easy it would be to go get a coke and a candy bar like I used to! I wanted it so much! I decided not to but I know that I could have and I came close to it. I had a really good day yesterday I was below my calorie limit and I didn't want to ruin by going off plan today.

This is a great thread! Last night after dinner I felt hungry and wanted to eat something. So, I went to the fridge and said to myself you can have as many carrots as you want. I ended up going to bed and not eating anything.

haha that is funny KT great discipline!

to the poster about the pizza, have you tried making tomato pizzas? Just put your pizza ingredients on a tomato and put it in the toaster, they're great little pizzas without the carbs and calories, and because of the tomato as the base, you don't even need sauce! :)

Love the tomato pizza idea! and permission to eat as many carrots as one wants :devil:

In the past couple nights, husband has brought home Edy's Drumstick Ice Cream; a cheap, poor quality blueberry pie; a bag of chips and onion dip. I haven't had ANY. The pie and ice cream are gone thank goodness; hopefully the chips will be gone soon. that means unfortunately all that crap is in HIM but I can't do anything about that.

This is a great thread! Very inspiring when I want to snack!
Keep all the great food ideas coming, I love hearing different ideas :P

@vermontmom- I know how it is when there is junk in the house (from my husband or mother), you just want someone to eat up all the temptation,lol. I try to pass it onto the kids or my husband usually eats it. I try to get him to eat better and workout more, but oh well, you can only change yourself :D

I live with someone who brings in Junk Food galore. He buys really good stuff and it's almost irresisitible. It has derailed my diet more than once. Now, I put his junk on a high shelf in the pantry and even put boxes of minute rice in front of it to hide it from site. When I really feel like I want a snack with crunch I eat Total Cereal dry it has really big flakes and it's almost feels like your eating a chip. The crunch appeal is great and does the trick for me. Better yet it low in calories and doesn't make you feel guilty if you flub up.

3/4 cup has 100 calories, 23g carbs, 5g fat, 2g protein and 100% of 12 vitamins & minerals.

I have cooked this 3 times since I saw this post...I love it!

Lol! I made something similar as well this week after reading aimee's recipe. Instead of laughing cow I did lemon flavored goat cheese with spinach and mushrooms. It turned out AWESOME!

I just turned down Taco Bell with my husband after working in the yard ALL DAY LONG and am patiently (my stomach is looking at my kidneys and thinking they might be tasty at this point) waiting for my salmon to thaw for a healthy wrap instead.

That is the best part it is so versatile. When I have goat cheese, I use it.......on everything LOL Scrambled eggs, salad, chicken, apples.....LOVE it.

And my good food choice of the day was going to be Taco Bell! LOL 2 Steak Fresco tacos, 300 calories. I was out and about, it was late, I was starving and on what we like to call "restaurant row" where every fast food place known to man is located. TB was the healthiest of choices.
