UM- DINNER=FAIL! lol, my veggie burgers tasted good but didn't look so hot, I may try to make them into mock meatloaf or something tomorrow... and I made the Hobbit Shire Soup that Linda posted(That I love!) and I used capers instead of the wine vinegar I normally do and boy oh boy I must not like capers! DH said "why would people eat those?! they don't taste like food!" lol... I got tired of trying to pick around them and missing some that I just threw the whole batch out... It reminded me of how much I like that soup though so I will probably making some more very soon sans capers. Guess all this kept me from overeating tonight!

Also- why is it so hard to find unsweetened cranberries dried or frozen?! I did manage to find some 100% not from concentrate cranberry juice that I am using in my water... Love that idea MMC, Thanks!
