Lucy Benson commented on plexy's blog post 'What are you cooking tonight?'"Made a version of this today. Used portabello mushroom, a lower fat cream and a light cheeze. . I boiled the sausage to remove extra fat. Was great."
Lucy Benson commented on plexy's blog post 'What are you cooking tonight?'"Once in a while we deserve to treat ourselves to a good meal Louisa and let the calories and fat go."
plexy commented on plexy's blog post 'What are you cooking tonight?'"that is so very true louisa! This is a very, very rich dish and not something we'd want to have frequently!
I believe once in awhile doesn't hurt. We don't make it a habit! lol!"
louisa P. commented on plexy's blog post 'What are you cooking tonight?'"YIKES... when I looked at the calories, fat, sodium and the what I assume are simple carbs, this recipe scares me. I think I'd be going back to vegan or vegetarian for a week if I served that up one night."

Finally I'm excited about cooking again! I went to a terrific East Indian cooking class on Thursday and came home with some wonderful recipes to try. The first dish I made was not East Indian but a delicious cassoulet! Into a large dutch oven went a layer of onions, pieces of spicy Italian sausage and chicken and then a layer of partially cooked orca beans. I poured liquid over top and seasoned it up with bay leaves, garlic and rosemary, salt and pepper, covered and baked slowly until bubbly…See More

Where do I begin? I'll go back to the end of summer when we said goodbye to our first born and put her on a plane for Washington DC. 24 hours later we were dealing with frantic phone calls "my landlady is a crazy cat lady! I can't stay here! I have no where to live!" Then there was the hurricane and then the earthquake (in what order I ask?). Considering stuff happens X3...…

I have signed up for a series of fabulous cooking classes that happen every few weeks. So far I've enjoyed "Canning and Jamming", "Moroccan Mystique" and "Into Africa".

Dates with Goat Cheese served on greens
2 pkg (113 g ea) goat cheese
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

Christine Schrum said… - Thanks for the warm welcome! I was at my physical best when I lived in B.C., as a matter of fact. I joined Semper Viva yoga studio, where they have amazing classes around the clock, 7 days a week. Ah, those were the days. :-) Looking fwd to reading the article, thanks!

- Hey Plexy - hope your day is going well and the flu is behind you. I've been part of our TOPS group for nearly 2 years. I was appointed weight recorder in April. I love being able to encourage and lift people up. We all can do this - we just need to make a decision. Hope you're coming up with a plan to make your goal happen. If there are a few TOPS groups in your area, be sure to check them all out before you settle on one to make sure you're getting the info you need. You can visit one time for free - so check them out. Enjoy the holiday weekend. Get your splurge in now so you can start fresh for Sept 6 and be a new woman for the holidays - 4 months could easily shed 2-40 pounds.

Check out TOPS.org for something in your area. Exercise is something you figure out on your own but we encourage walking. We are all huge fans of Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home program. Here DVDs are great. You can get them at Target, Amazon or QVC. But if you can't go outside to walk, you can walk at home. Just get moving. The best exercise is something you're going to do. A power partner always helps too. (If you don't feel like walking, you don't want to disappoint them and you want success for them too.) Yoga may be an option. It's low impact but really gives you core strength which you lose as you get older. (I'm 45, so I'm coming up on the peri stuff). You're goal is not impossible! At least you have a goal. If you aim for nothing you'll hit it every time. Write down your goals and go for it. It's your time - it's your turn!

Hey Plexy - I guess I had to be a friend to comment. But you can start now with getting rid of that 50 pounds. I belong to a TOPS group which is a support group for weight loss. Local and nonprofit!! Accountability weekly. I still have 10 pounds to go which has been a struggle but this is a lifestyle change. I refused to only eat salads and eat what I like. I'm experimenting all the time with new recipes and only recipes with nutrition facts included. I love the Everyday Food magazine because they are in season with foods and every recipe has nutrition facts.
