keep my situation moisturized

had a big salad for dinner.

Was really yummy, but lots of calories and not as satisfying as a stir fry or something else~~~~~~~ maybe should look for a different choice next time or not have it as a main dish

One of my favorite suppers (even pre-SB days) is a big salad topped with taco meat, cheese, salsa, and ranch dressing... I imagine the ranch is a no-no now but the rest should be fine. I had a modified version of that a couple nights this week using the chili recipe you posted in this thread. It was very tasty and filling.

oohhh. I always forget about taco salad!

Actually ranch dressing is fine! Any dressing with less than 3 g. sugar per serving is legal. WOO HOO!

Cool! I'm at work, too, so couldn't check... actually, I'm out and have just been having Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar on salads.

I really like topped salads in the summer... nice cool meal. Can do the same with all kinds of cooked protein, served cold!

Love your journal. I was cracking up about your comments on Alton Brown & Bobby Flay. I am a total Food Network addict. I watch it most of the time.

Question on your chicken mole recipe. Do you have to add tequila or will any liquid (ie chicken stock) work? Not that I am opposed to alcohol or anything, I just do not keep tequila around....too many bad...err embarassing memories

[VAgirl0213]

I have banned tequila from my life as well, as it has embarassed me more times than I can count

[TLouise]

VAgirl0213- What is so funny is that it seems tequila is everyone's liquor that has been banned from their life at some point or another I have so many friends whose stories start with "there was this one time that so and so and I were at the bar and started doing tequila shots...." and the story always ends badly for them...but entertaining for me

[sarahsarah]

roffle at the tequila situation!

tequila hasn't been banned at my house yet. It does make me pretty.. ahem... punchy though. I'll never say no to a tequila shot.

But, back on topic, chicken stock should work fine.

haha I know! those guys are so... unattractive... I'm making a mix tape of all the songs that they played at our jr. high dances. It's bringing back some wild memories.

They are unattractive...and the one guy looks like Kenny G In their defense though...really who could look attractive wearing those outfits!


ETA: Sorry to pry but I saw in the beginning of your journal that you are on sparkspeople. I signed up there too w/the South Beach Babes team.

[sarahsarah]

yeah those outfits are ... different.

I was thinking the exact same thing: Kenny G!

What do you do on teams on sparkpeople? Is it for sparkpoints? I haven't really explored much there outside of the nutrition tracker.

[sarahsarah]

I want a body like this:

[TLouise]

The sparksteams are basically just to track sparkspoints and chat. There is separate forum for each team but it does not seem to have a lot of traffic. I mainly use the nutrition/exercise tracker and peek at the forum but not much else. I find this forum much more entertaining!

Hey I did not know my picture was still out there....I thought I took that down

[sarahsarah]

haha so what's it like being a videohofesshional?

I'll check out the sparkteams. But yeah I agree, this message board is more than enough

Found another baked pasta recipe I'm going to try:

Beef Talerine Casserole

Should be pretty easy to beachify. Just cut down on the cheese, use ww noodles and add more veggies. I still have tons of leftovers to eat though, so this might not get made until early next week. Just wanted to mark the recipe so I'll remember.
