Try roasting it - it definetly tastes best that way (I think). Lightly coat w/olive oil spray, salt, and pepper. spread out on a cookie sheet, cook on 400 for 15-20 minutes. I HATE it canned, but I LOVE fresh roasted, fresh steamed...

Here you go! I plan to make it TONIGHT!!

Guac made w/ asparagus instead of avocado. I use my own home-made salsa whenever possible! Also, you could sub regular onions for green onions if you want.

Ingredients

24 spears asparagus, chopped 1/2 cup salsa 1 tbsp cilantro 2 cloves garlic 4 green onions, sliced

Directions

  1. Place asparagus in pot with water to cover. Boil and cook 5 minutes until tender but firm. Drain, and rinse with cold water.

  2. Place asparagus, salsa, cilantro, garlic and green onions in food processor or blender, and process to desired consistency. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until chilled before serving.

Fitness Don't ever mix vanilla whey protein..... May 19 2008

I haven't had the vanilla yet - I use the double chocolate whey protein and mix with vanilla yogurt (non-fat), 1/2 frozen banana, 1/2 c. frozen blueberries, 1/2 c. frozen strawberries, and a splash of skim milk to make the blender work! I love it, but I think that next time I'll get the vanilla...

Any other recipes for these things? I am thinking of using them for meal replacements for dinner (mix some salmon in maybe)? LOL Gross, jk.

LOL - I think it holds about 16 oz - but that way I can say "I only had two glasses"...

I guess its time to rethink the big glass theory...or maybe enroll in a 'program', becuz I HATE the thought of giving up the vino!!!!

Have you tried like cortaid?

Maybe see your doc for a prescription steroid cream - that should help - and you really, really need to put your hair up!

I have the same problem, but its usually when I change conditioners - if I dont use the cheap ole' suave, I end up with a nasty rash around my hairline and between my shoulder blades!!

I am in Michigan - and I paid $3.99/lb yesterday. The only reason I bought it is because my husband won on an instant lottery ticke (a whopping 6 dollars) and he gave it to me to cash in - so I didn't feel so bad spending the money on it.

I am going to look into the frozen stuff - it wont be as good - but I  still love it!

Usually, I get about 1600 with exercise - 1300 w/out.

C-C recommended 1600.

I'll stick with it - It just amazes me How EASY it is to put on, and how HARD it is to take off.
Thanks everyone for your input - I feel a tad bit better.

Here's what I eat typically...

breakfast: Reduced fat peanut butter (1tbs), 1 tbs grape jam, 2 slices of five grain lite bread (totals 70 cals for two slices).

Lunch : same bread, healthy choice lunch meat (60 cals) 1 tsp honey mustard, 1 can healthy choice lower sodium soup

dinner: boneless/skinless chicken breast pan fried in 1 tsp olive oil - 1 cup frozen broccolli or 10 asparagus spears

snacks - oreo thin crisps or kudos bar

nite time snake - low fat ice cream sandwich (140 cals).

Sodim could be better, but its not bad. I drink about 10-12 8 oz glasses of water daily.

I am 35, 5'6", 184 lbs.

I have polycystic ovaries and high cholesterol, but other than that, healthy.

I work out 5 days for 40-50 minues each day doing the Firm tapes, varying between weights and cardio/aerobics.

My cloths feel a LITTLE better, but come on - I want to be 135 - 140 and buff, not 185  and built!


Thanks all for your input.

Problem is, the weight is coming ON, not going OFF. I am wondering WHY I would not be loosing weight when:.

  • I drink 6-8 glasses of water a day (usually MORE)
  • I keep calories at 1208
  • I exercise VIGORUSLY to the FIrm for 50 minutes using weight 5 days a week
  • I've lowered my sodium intake
  • I am only drinking 1 -2 cans of diet pop a day
  • I am NOT grazing on stuff and not logging it.
  • AND if I burn 400 calories exercising, I increase my caloric intake by that many so as not to end up with a deficit!
I guess I am just FRUSTRATED and I think the DEVIL invented the scale!

As an EX WW member, I concur.

I lost 70 lbs back in 02-03 on the points program - and after having a son in 04, I have gained it all back - and now I am learning that just because one of the "Smart Ones" meals is called "Smart", doesnt really mean Jack SH^%.

LOL - long live C-C!

Thanks all - I'll resist the urge - I am feeling kinda heart burny right now and bloated - and all I had was a fruit & yogurt Parfait...

PS - I really hate sounding so needy, but if I wouldn't have posted, then I'd be knee deep in a milky way right now....

And I do have family members, but they are all busy as well. My mom is 64 and works at a factory 6 days a week. My inlaws are, well, nutz, so they are'nt any help.

Other than that, its just us! Having a child later in life does have its setbacks... but I sure love him!

Well - it could possilby be the sodium - I'll try to avoid the LC's for a while - I do love them cuz they are SO SO convenient. I dont have much time (Here comes sob story) becasue of the 2.5 year old, a full time job here at work, and a husband that, for lack of better phrasing, doesnt do squat (he suffered a closed-head injury a couple years ago and doesnt work or anything)...

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I need a break, or a nanny, or to hit the lotto, or to..... I don't know what!!!

Thanks for the advice - it will be taken!
