I'll go ahead and answer my own questions since the kids and dh are behaving

What is your favorite OP sweet treat? strawberry SF jello

What is your favorite OP meal? So far I'm loving chicken done in the foil packet with veggies -- spinich and feta or doing it with okra are my favorites. Dh is even liking this a lot

What condiment in your fridge can you NOT live without? salsd dressing/hummus -- a tie really

Do you have a favorite tv chef? If so, who? I love watching Alton Brown but my absolute favorite is Paula Deen 'cause I just love her (and her sons are pretty cute too). Of course, I gain about 5 lbs just watching her show! When I go by her resturant this afternoon I'm gonna walk on the opposite side of the road

Has there been a recipe that you have wanted to make recently but been too tired/busy/lazy to make? I've wanted to make some shrimp scampi but I am not very skilled in cooking fish or shellfish. I found a great low carb recipe for it though.

Is there one diet food item that you have tried and wish that you had not wasted the money? A while ago we got some Atkins pasta but it was so horrid. Dh didn't eat it and he will usually eat anything I give him.

What kind of music or what song makes you feel good when you're having a bad day? "No Woman, No Cry" by Bob Marley is my go to song when i need to know life is gonna be ok. Also love "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing" by Stevie Wonder (on Innervisions -- his best album I think). But if all else fails I am a huge Beatles fanatic and anything they do makes me feel good and special.
