| Recipes | Hummus recipes? | Jun 24 2008 15:53 (UTC) |

my recipe:
Canned Chickpeas Tahini garlic salt lemon juice (a lot! it always works well with any legume dish, try also to use it in a red lentils soup) olive oil ground cumin tabasco sauce parsley (a lot!)
put all in a food processor with some warm water and blend until smooth. I think I'll have it for dinner tonight, yummy!
Flakester Tahini is a sesame seeds paste used in many recipes from middle east and north africa, where the use of seeds and legumes is very large (i.e. falafel are fantastic!). I Italy we can only find it in ethnic stores or organic health food stores. |

MAMMA MIA! you look fantastic! Noticed that men look younger when they lose weight? This doesn't happen to women all the times, I'm afraid
you are an inspiration and a role model for all of us, we really want to go there too!!!!

| Weight Loss | How do you explain to someone that 875 cals a day and exercise everyday is not healthy? | Jun 07 2008 18:13 (UTC) |

Or you can ask her if she knows anyone that has lost all that huge amount of weight very fast and is keeping it down after months/years, in good health. I am sure she doesn't. Or if she does then I am sure we all want to meet that person! |

I am afraid I am the only girl in Italy having Oatmeal for breakfast! It's so not-italian! Anyway I love it with banana and cinnamon or half a teaspoon of cocoa powder and sugar. I use soy milk. I have tried to buy PB once but it finished too soon
Thanks for all the suggestions. Silvia |

Ok guys, as I posted in the other challenge thread I joined, my starting weigth wasn't real or accurate because I was still bloating for water retention caused by the period. Yesterday night I was 72.3kg=159.39pounds glad to go below 160! Now I have to go below 70kg. Have a nice day everyone Silvia |

I have headaches when my blood pression goes a little lower than usual, so a single espresso coffee usually helps. Ciao! |

Original Post by bluekitti9: Bluekitti9 what do you mean for Orzo? In Italian has a specific meaning (barley) and it's a cereal that we use as rice substitute, just for a change. We also use the dried/ground version in the moka machine and it makes a lovely coffee alternative. My grocery store list: water, bananas, tomatoes, zucchini (courgettes), apples, yakult, canned beans (of any kind, including chickpeas), soy milk, black rice,... I am in between beeing vegan and vegetarian, so any other vegetable/fruit of the season will make my day. xoxox S |

Welcome to Amy! I have been a serious smoker for 18 years and stopped when I became very afraid for my health. My doctor had this power... From the picture and your comments seems you are a person that cares very much to her body, perhaps you like to dress up, use makeup and perfume... well think about this: smoke SMELLS BAD! Sounds stupid but this is one of the things that keep me from starting again. Good luck Cicia |
