Welcome to our weight loss/gain support circle! :D

Those recipes sound awesome! The frozen dinners do get tiresome pretty quickly, even though I cheat and use Molly Mcbutter on the veges to give them some flavor! :cool:

Oh, here's a recipe I love making that everyone in the family eats right up. This site is GREAT, and I love the way she compares her recipes to popular "bad" foods:

Girl, that's not cheating! LOL

I get the daily Hungry Girl e-mail - she's great!

Have you ever used Laughing Cow Cheese wedges? Sooo yummy, just 50 calories (or for me, on WW, 1 point).

I like to cook up a large bag of broccoli and add four or five wedges and some garlic powder for Garlic Cheesy Broccoli, that's just 50 calories a serving! Yummers, and Karl, who doesn't eat broccoli normally will gobble this up.

Here's some really family friendly recipes too - I haven't tried a recipe here that wasn't good (and Karl's a VERY picky eater and he hasn't complained yet)

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast -- 4 breasts
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Place chicken rollup, seam side down, in an 11x7 inch-baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining half of spice mixture, and coat with cooking spray. Cover and refrigerate up to 8 hours. (I've done it without refrigerating, just as good)

Ok, no, I have been afraid to try the Laughing Cow cheese, but since you say it's good, I'll pick some up this week! I would love a lower cal cheesy brocoli, I usually make that with 4 Borden's cheese slices, so this would be much better!

And I will also be picking up the ingredients for those chicken baseballs, they sound PERFECT for my family.

Oooh, thanks for the link, I have bookmarked it now :D

On the Laughing Cow, I just like the plain, and I don't even get the Light - for me, they're both the same number of points. I even use a wedge on my bread for sandwiches instead of mayonaisse! :)

If you like to snack on cheese, look for Wee Brie by Presidente - a perfect little snack, and quite filling. It's 8 individually wrapped wedges. Walmart used to carry them, but my grocery is starting to carry them in the deli refrigerated section. They are wrapped in light blue foil.

Oh yes, I actually do buy the Wee Brie pretty often! We are really big on cheese in this house, so I usually have those, 2 different kinds of string cheese, and 2-3 gourmet cheeses in the fridge at any given time.
