It took me all that time to get the photo bucket to reset and accept my pictures... :angry: and after all that what a let down that this is the only picture I have to share... It is Last nights London Broil Dinner as previously described... lol Recap: I marinade mine in a mix of a little olive oil, steak sauce, balsamic, onion powder, garlic powder, ground mustard, Pepper and salt. I serve it with sauteed onion and mushrooms on the side. The Broccoli is fresh, just lightly seasoned and steamed. For a change I also made a few cheddar and geen onion twice baked potatoes served with sour cream,

Ok,,, How long till warm weather??? I dont care if it is still winter as long as it is warm. :unsure:

Funny stuff!!!

COLD!!! (I just want it to be spring) :)

Unrelated to dinner, But I also made 7 cups of "Artichoke & Spinach Hummus" yesterday, ( yep, almost a half a gallon! ) I have been sharing my hummus with a few of the people at the gym... (kind of letting them sample it if they want)... Over the past few months or so, I have found a group of people that really like it. So I have sort of started making Hummus for everyone. Out of the 7 cups, I get 6 portions... one for me of coarse, and 5 to send out. I figure that if you are going to make a mess,,, you may as well go for as much volume as you can get. I get the fresh chick peas for free so it only costs me about $4.00 dollars to make a large batch like this once you add up the other ingredients. However... it costs more for the container that I put it in than it does the hummus that I put in it. So... Whats my point??? There are two of them..... First..... Is is OK for me to say chip in for the cost of the containers?? I know that people could return them to me but to be honest they are just those plastic ones that you use two or three times and then throw away. They cost a little over a $1.00 each, and I would just assume use new ones all the time. OR... do I just say that it is 2.00 per container which would make me break about even with all the expenses? I didnt really want to charge at all, and I feel cheap asking but at this point it is going to get out of hand because I am gaining another participant everytime I do a batch. Second.... I currently do a few different varieties of hummus, they include... Pesto Hummus Caramelized Onion Hummus (made with at least 5 different types of onions ) Spinach & Artichoke Hummus Pumkin Hummus ( really good served with my home made graham crackers ) Tomato Basil Hummus I have been considering doing a Horseradish & Blue Cheese Hummus and also a Cheddar & Green Onion Hummus... Not sure about those two, but I could introduce some bacon grease into the cheddar and green onion and I think it has a shot of being really good. what do you think?? I need some suggestions from those of you that eat hummus. What flavors are your favorite??? And what flavors do you think would be good to try??

I am way behind... I am having trouble uploading pictures this week! ( :wacko: I heard that sigh of relief ... lol ) so I will add a pic later.... but I had london broil last night too. I marinade mine in a mix of a little oil, steak sauce, balsamic, onion powder, garlic powder, ground mustard, Pepper and salt. I serve it with sauteed onion and mushrooms on the side. The Broccoli is fresh, just lightly seasoned and steamed. For a change I also made a few cheddar and geen onion twice baked potatoes served with sour cream,

That looks really good sharon!!! Like out of a restaraunt good!!! I have been planning on making chilli for the past couple week. I never made chili before and am not sure how I am going to make it but I am going to definitely use kidney beans and turkey meat... anyone have a good recipe I can use as a guide??

OOPS double post :wacko: Pizza tonight!

Not sure what to call it.... but last night... On a bed of brown rice is a baked chicken breast stuffed with spinach and mushrooms, served with a pear, parmesan & green onion cream sauce. And of coarse it is low calorie!!! :P Not!!

Any picture of food that includes a wine glass looks good o me! :D

Awww D.D. thanks for that... But I was not crying... but If I was it would be tears of joy!! lol 2 Years and counting... I tried to take a screen shot of my ticker earlier to day ( I never did get it exactly right but it is within a day)... and apparently I am not good at screen shots either because I could not make that work either.. lol But thanks for the comments and congrats to each of you too.. because every minute that you do not smoke deserves a celebration... it is the most important thing you will ever do for you and your family and friends!!! So just stick with it!!! Happy New Year Everyone!!!

Well they are not for dinner tonight... but last night I spent about 3 hours (and one bottle of wine) putting these turkey pot pies together. I had made the filling on two days before. they are all packaged and in the freezer for this winter.

Yea... I just saw this too!!! WTG Tiffany!!!!

Some really good stuff here for sure.... You know what to do Tiffany, you even know how to do it... this time you have to follow through with it!!! Nice to see you on the board again!!!

I like merry!!!

Whats with the red wine??? If I drink more white wine will that help??? I know it cant hurt!! :D

nicely done jen!!!

Last week a friend of mine teXted me a question... my reply was " when was your last cigarette? " At that point he had been 24 hours smoke free and not sure what he was in for. For a full week now I have been on hand with encouragement and explanations to help keep him going. It has been bringing back a lot of memories from my early days of quitting, I almost forgot a lot of what I went through and it is of coarse a lot of what he is going through now. I have been through the whole "your wife and family are not going to understand what is going on with you and to take what they say with a grain of salt. But whats different in real life is I am talking and educating his family too. We have been through some pretty good crave sessions, many triggers and he understands the power of NOPE too. I wish he would come join here with all of you, but so far he will not and is doing ok with what assistance I can give. He is very determined and I think he has a really good chance, we are all really proud of him! I am telling you about this because at some point I am probably going to come here for advice for him because I am a realist and know that I do not have all the answers. As a matter of fact I have been reading a lot of the new quitter questions this week to help me with him. I have also returned to a previous location to dig up some of my early threads to remember what it was like for me at that stage. LOL... some of them I had forgotten about completely, some of them really made me laugh ( Babs ). It made me realize once again how fortunate we are to have a place like this. So I just wanted to say what a great support all of you are!! And thanks for giving me the tools to help a friend do something that he feared not being able to do. And for you newcomers.. all you need to know is you are in the right place here, and no matter what... the only thing you have to do is never take another puff!!!! Thanks and Congrats to All of You!!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
