Hi, Chickies! Still drudging along here at 312lbs. Have not lost a lb since, but I also haven't been following my foodplan either so its to be expected.
Jo - I'm sure did great at Uni. Keep us posted with your results.
Kelly - Sorry to hear about the weather. Here in NYC we've been getting wind and rain from the Cindy and then Dennis, but thank goodness never anything serious.
Lorraine - You out there?
Brandy - How's it going with the pregnancy and move?
Nichola - Congrats on the loss and keep up the great work.
I wanted to give you all a recipe I got from Dr. Weil (I'm on his email list).
Fresh Berry Gratin
--------------------
4 servings
A nearly effortless way to enhance fresh berries. The aroma of the warm fruit is sublime. Ingredients:
3 cups fresh berries (raspberries, blueberries and/or blackberries)
4 oz. low-fat cream cheese, softened
3 Tbsp. skim milk
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
Instructions
Place berries in an even layer in a 9-inch pie plate or divide among 4 individual gratin dishes. In a small bowl, whisk together cream cheese, milk and lemon juice. Spread over the berries, leaving the outer edge uncovered. Set aside in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour.
Preheat the broiler. Press sugar through a coarse sieve over the berries, covering them evenly. Broil until the sugar has melted, about 4 minutes. Serve immediately.
