vickie, meatloaf and mashed potatoes sound heavenly.

puret, (would you prefer to be called something else?), we eat a lot of venison, too. do you count yours as core? i do. it just makes sense to me. what do you think?

I have become a raving sugar lunatic!

another large piece of birthday cake.

I can barely move now and am still very cranky!

Frouf

Isn't it crazy how we think food will make us feel better, and then it just leaves us feeling bad in other ways? Why do we do that to ourselves???

Sandra, I am Rita. Yes, I count venison as core. I also use ground venison for all my crumbled hamburger kind of dishes and count it as core. I ended up having Balsamic/pineapple glazed chicken, mashed cauliflower w/1 potatoe mixed in for the 3 of us, and brussell sprouts. I have sf/ff banana & pineapple pudding for dessert.

hi, rita. sorry i forgot your name. i count venison as core, too. i also use venison burger. your dessert sounds good. i'm having banana pudding with homemade (core) granola on top.
