Just had to give you some MORE smiles.

I tried the Blue Bunny yogurt that was suggested and I like it BETTER than the brand I was using. They cost a dime more, but the taste is better and I am WORTH it!

I was given these two food sites by a non SBDer and I will share them with you.

WWW.recipesource.com, WWW.healthy-diabetic-recipes.co.uk

I did try the Tuna/Samon Croquette recipe and I altered it to fit.
Mom, DH and I all loved it.

Have a great day and if I can, I will Just Chat later.

Foggy day this morning but its expected to stay a lil cooler than it has been...which I think is great!


To answer some of you questions....

Planing what to eat. Hmmmm, what shall I have? Shall I try something new?

I don't know...but I am not a person who likes to try something new....well...unless it smells good... I know I'm strange, but I can't help it

What is a typical eating day for you?

I know I'll get in trouble for this, but I don't eat breakfast When I get in from my walk I make a cup of hot tea Then around 10ish I have a jell-o for a snack mid-morning At noon I have been making either a salad with some turkey or ham....or I'll have a sandwich on low-sugar bread (I tried the low carb ones, but I don't really like it for some strange reason). For a mid-afternoon snack I have been having a stalk of celery with low-fat peanut butter. Then for supper I make something like chicken or meatloaf. For a snack I have been making low-fat made by Act II. I doubt that is on my list, but it is really good. And that is my typical day of eating.

What are your No No's?

I have to no-no's to seafood... I don't like seafood and I don't like the smell. I guess another no-no would be coffee for me.

What is a staple everyday?

Hmmmm this question kinda stumped me :lol

Do you give yourself 3 bites of something?

[COLOR=dark blue]Ya know I have to admit...I have tried the 3 bite something, but it is just too hard for me to do. I mean if someone were to put a brownie in front of my face, if I say no then I won't eat it, but if I were to take 3 bites...that'd be it...I'd eat the whole thing

Are you getting bored?

Sometimes I get bored with what I'm eating since I am not the type to try something new. One of these days I'll do something about it....or not Other than that, I really enjoy being on this diet more than any of the other diets I've been on

Do you have a favorite recipe?

My favorite recipe is the gingered chicken breasts...BUT...I don't add ginger I just put some lemon juice in a casserole dish and add some garlic to it and let the chicken breasts marinate in it over night....that is something that my husband will actually eat and he's not a chicken eater

Do you get your menu's from a web site? If so, which one?


I some times go to allrecipes.com, just to get some ideas for meals and I replace the things that I shouldn't eat

Well I tried to answer everything.....have a good day everyone!

What are your No No's?
Chocolate, Bread & butter, pastry

What is a staple everyday?
Coffee, Water, Cheese

Do you give yourself 3 bites of something?
Sometimes I might push it to 4 bites hehehe

Are you getting bored?
No.

Do you have a favorite recipe?
Not really

Do you get your menu's from a web site?
No I just try to adapt what I have on hand to make it op. I'm not that great of a cook, so sometimes when I try a new recipe we end up tossing it and having omelets

Good morning, beauties! Just a quick one before I get busy...on TWO hours of sleep! uch:

Pastries, cookies and the like

What is a staple everyday?
A smoothie (Tofu, yogurt, frozen fruit)

Are you getting bored?
Yes, but not with SBD....with having to eat soup, jello, scrambled eggs and other soft foods because of not being able to chew!

Do you have a favorite recipe?
Not really. I love to try new recipes (or eat what my DH cooks) so my favorite is usually what is in front of me!

Do you get your menu's from a web site? If so, which one?
I usually hit ALLRECIPES.COM first, then GOOGLE whatever it is I am looking for.


Great thread, Grandma Marcie! I LOVE your new avatar! Seems like a lot of you are finding all kinds of beautiful images to reflect the inner you! Maybe I need something new!

Good afternoon Beauties ...

I've tried that three bite rule with no success (unless there are only 3 bites left), so try to avoid anything that that rule applies to!!!

I do sometimes get bored ... I've been busy lately and find myself falling back on the same recipes when I'm in a hurry.

I subscribe to Cooking Light and use several of their recipes, the SBD recipe exchange at ezboard ... now I'm going to check out some the web sites you guys have posted.

Have a wonderful Saturday!!!
