white choc. pnut butter egg. It's an egg! Thats CORE right? Right? Okay, okay, I'll

carrots
maybe a salad too

BAD egg! Bad, bad, bad!!

I might as well have eaten one too. I decided to join in the lunch and so I ignored my lunch and ate a teeny bit of black beans/rice/smoked sausage, 2 boiled shrimp, 4 crackers with crab dip, and a teeny piece (probably 1" square) of cornbread. I drank milk with it, so that was good, but now I'm drinking an extra bottle of water to flush out all the salt.

Yeah, the dumb egg costs me 5 points!! I guess I'll have to remain CORE for the rest of the day.

You girls are so funny. I was good this afternoon and filled in my dinner menu for the week. I'm also going to make Froufie's "beef & barley and whatever else is in the crisper drawer" soup for lunches. I WILL be good, I WILL be good. I don't want to stall out this close to goal.

Does anyone have some kind of recipe or something to make a cheesecakey taste out of ff ricotta cheese? i thought a while ago i read somewher ein here what someone added to make it actually taste good thanks girls!

I think there's a recipe similar to that on our Core recipes board, under desserts. If not there, try Barbo's.

This one may fit the bill, although it uses ff cottage cheese instead of ricotta.

Core Lemon Cheese Cake - Posted by Sara and Gert Knute

1 box sugar free lemon Jello
1 cup hot water
16 ounces FF cottage cheese
1/2 cup skim milk

Blend jello with water, then cheese, then rest of ingredients, (mix everything in food processor or with hand mixer). Pour into 9" pie pan and refrigerate. Put stewed peaches over the pie. FF Cool whip can also be added but will need to count points.

Breakfast: 4 oz ff/sf strawberry cheesecake yogurt, 1 banana, decaf w/light cream

Lunch: roast turkey, 1/2 sweet potato, steamed brocolli & carrots
1 tangerine

Snack: rice chips (pts) and salsa, diet pepper
