They didn’t have the Breakstone 2% cottage cheese I usually buy at the grocery today. I noticed a 2% pineapple flavor, but when I took a look at the list of ingredients, there it was: High Fructose Corn Syrup!!!
Why? Why couldn’t they just add pineapple and be done with it!? Makes me mad!
It just proves [...]

Grass Fed Beef
Our first meal with grass fed / pastured beef (rib steak) – we found a local farm.
I was a bit nervous due to everyone saying how “different” it tasted, but it really didn’t taste too different. I guess just a beefier flavor, but great nonetheless.
We plan on trying to eat grassfed [...]
25 Pounds? Are you Sure??
Okay, I weighed myself this morning, and something has to be wrong. I was 174.4 on the new digital scale – that’s another 2 lbs! I checked on the old scale, and it was roughly the same.
That means I lost a total of 25 pounds! I just don’t think I believe it. Something has [...]
Hungry Girl – Fat Free Cool Whip vs Fat Free ReddiWip
Over on the Hungry Girl Facebook Page, Lisa Lillien recently posed a question to her fans:
Cool Whip Free vs. Fat Free Reddi-wip. A fair fight dessert topping brawl with a clear winner… Thoughts????
The answers weren’t surprising, but they made me sad nevertheless.
Let’s compare the ingredients:
Reddi Whip Fat Free: Nonfat Milk, Cream, Sugar, [...]
Polenta
First time cooking polenta last night. For a first time, it wasn’t great, but I learned a lot!
I over salted! eek. I tasted with a spoon midway, and it was very bland, so I added more sea salt. After adding 2 oz of Parmesan Reggiano cheese, I mixed, then instead of using a separate metal [...]
Fast Food Nation – Book Review
I found the audio version of “Fast Food Nation” by Eric Schlosser, at my local library.
It starts off a bit slow; I actually stopped listening for a few days, but I am glad I gave it another try. By the time I started disc 6, I was riveted. It broke my heart to hear [...]
Another 2 Pounds!?
This still shocks me when I get on the scale and see more weight loss. I keep thinking something has to be wrong. How could it be this wonderful and easy!?
Two more pounds lost on the (new) scale this AM. That makes me down to 177 for those keeping score at home, and 23 [...]
Turkey Meatloaf – Round 3
I don’t know what it is about this turkey meatloaf recipe (from Epicurious.com), but I am almost obsessed about perfecting it! I made it again last night, and while it was better than last time, it still needs a few more tweaks.
To recap, the first try, it was delicious, but it tasted too much like [...]
Wowser, this can’t be correct
I weighed myself on a whim this morning, and would you believe it? 179 lbs??? That makes 21 lbs!
I will have to weigh myself again tomorrow to be sure, but BOTH scales read 179. I am afraid to be happy!
