    Yum! Great idea for salad with tuna...

    I'm hooked! I've been mixing a can of tuna with peach-mango salsa. It's a great flavor (sweet) and goes great with salad greens and other veggies. It's a nice alternative to finding a fat-free dressing--I've never found one I like. This salsa also goes well with cooked chicken breast, in a...

    Need advice about bread

    I buy whole-grain or whole-wheat breads, the kinds that are little added sugar, no preservatives...just stuff like "100% stone-ground wheat, water, honey, raisin juice concentrate, salt, yeast" The first couple of slices taste great. Trouble is, I don't eat bread often enough to finish the...

    Advice for stomach flu?

    Um yeah, you just have to wait it out! Though if you don't have anyone living with you, try to get someone to just check on you and bring you something if needed. The worst feeling is knowing you need some nourishment, but not having the strength to get it for yourself. Catch-22. I hope...

    Baking chicken breasts for later snacking

    I know some of you bake chicken breasts so that you can refrigerate it in snack-size portions and take it with you over the next several days. Can I get some pointers? (oh, and I buy the frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts) Do you bake them on a flat baking sheet, or in a shallow...

    No more coffee for me - why?

    Maybe it will go away! From the files of my own personal experience: 1.) About 8 years ago I showed off at a bar with my friends by downing a lot of shots of a lot of different kinds of booze. (stupid) Puked in the parking lot and couldn't go near hard alcohol for a LONG LONG time...

    I need Help! I have thunder thighs with celllulite and I feel so hopeless.

    Are the people downstairs approachable at all? Do they perhaps work outside the home during some hours that might be good for your exercise time? Is there a time of day during which they can agree to an hour of thumping? (hopefully they don't have young children who have naptimes, that's...
