Mmckellen -- watch the mayo intake! Also check to be sure that your RF mayo doesn't have added sugars. I know a lot of chicks recommend you use regular mayo an cut down the usage of it. don't want you to stall! And what is "rinsed" beef? Sounds interesting! Oh and, GO BROOKLYN

I am at a loss today for food DW left dinner on the stove lsat night and never put it away (then said she wasn't to blame -- she came home from the pool and ate late, how is it MY responsibility to put the food away?????). Anyway, so I have stuff for a salad but no proteins and no real stores around to grab some short cuts or something. I need to buy gladware too...ugh!

B: cottage chesse with S&P, coffee
S: cheese stick and turkey pepp
L: lettuce, cucumber, yellow bell pepper and ???
S: ????
D: polish lite kielbasa and sauerkraut with a salad

Hey Jenn! Yes, I know I have to watch the mayo. It is Hellman's reduced fat and doesn't seem to have any added sugar. I just love mayo...this morning I used a bit less in my egg salad.

"Rinsed" beef is a trick I learned from the Tightwad Gazette to reduce the fat content of ground beef. Essentially you cook the ground meat until done, then strain it in a strainer. Put a cup of warm water in the pan you cooked it in and pour it over the beef, repeat. This takes away a significant amount of the fat, and if you are mixing the beef with anything else you don't really notice.
