would eating low fat grilled cheese with turkey bacon, lettuce, and tomato with a small serving of tomato soup be good or bad if you watching your waistline?

Meal suggestions
I love to cook, but there are times when cooking just does not fit into my schedule. On those occasions, I opt for the Lean Cuisine (LC) frozen meals #1, followed by the WW variety. I personally find LC to have tastier meals, but there are some good WW frozen meals. Also, there are options for eating out, you just have to be selective in restaurant choices. When joining WW you can get a restaurant guide which is great in helping you with those selections. This is another thing I enjoy about WW. First, and foremost, you are not restricted to having to buy a program's foodline which can be very expensive, such as Nutrisystem, Jenny Craig, etc. You can eat the same foods the rest of your family eats. If hubby is the cook of the family, when he is around you could have him cook extras of WW sensible meals and put them away, either in the fridge for immediate use, or in the freezer for future use. I have done that in the past with preparing on the weekends and having leftovers ready for quickie meals during the week. Don't forget with summer upon us that the grill is a wonderful place to enjoy your food and still remain WW-friendly. I hope these suggestions will help.
Do you make a meal like that?
Sounds like something I would like, oh anything with shallots, tomatoes, onions, garlic, bring it on.
Share a meal when you’re out to eat
Have you seen the portions that chain restaurants are serving up lately? There’s no secret why our society is so overweight. You’ll save your heart and your wallet by sharing a meal with your significant other. If you’re one of those people that feels bad doing it, make yourself feel better by tipping 25% to the server.
Would anyone use a home meal service?
I having been tossing around the idea of starting my own home meal service. Would any of you ladies use a service like this and, if so, would you want hot meals delivered and ready to eat or premade meals that you popped in the oven yourself? Would you use this service regularly or every once in a while? Before I started in transcription, I worked as a chef for 12 years and up until the past 5 years I did do catering. Thanks for any input.
Does your hubby know you use him as a meal ticket?
Or is he just arm-candy to you? And, yes, I've no doubt once he sees through your thinly-veiled greed, he'll be off and running with the first pretty young thing that doesn't expect him to hand her everything on a silver platter.
I didn't even realize women like you still existed in the real world.
But then...you're not actually living in the real world, are you?
BTW, my hubby is a good deal younger than I am; however, he knows he's here because I love him, NOT for what he can HAND me.
You're so insipid, yet somehow so comical. Interesting combination!
Cook a meal and dine on leftovers
the rest of the week, or freeze what you don't eat. Then you have a ready meal that just needs thawed out.
Sounds like you could easily turn this into a meal
by tossing in some chicken breasts. My MIL bakes pork chops in cream of mushroom soup, bet you could use that too for something a little different.
Did it ever cross your mind that HE'S using YOU as a meal ticket?
So now it's you that has more money than the younger hubby. Hmmmm...food for thought, but perhaps I was off base earlier and it is, in fact, YOU that is the meal ticket in that power-couple relationship of yours.
Better stick with that guy for as long as he'll tolerate you. Today's younger guys like their women independent and enjoy EQUAL relationships.
If I were you, I'd peek into his cell phone on occasion. Ya know, just check the incoming and outgoing call lists. He might already be shopping around for a less expensive model, something that requires less upkeep and doesn't consider community property 'hers'.
Fried rice is another good, cheap meal (sm)
I use a rice cooker a lot since I can cook w/o babysitting it. Make extra rice and put it in a ziplock bag and refrigerate. Next day you can take the leftover rice and bits of meat and veggies left over from other meals and an egg or two, and make fried rice. If you're new at it, there are some inexpensive fried rice spice mix packets that give you the flavor with some instructions. But once you've done it a few times, you can wing it with some asian spices and just use up the leftovers you have.

My favorite meal! Cracked crab as much as you can eat, bread, salad! nm
why do you make your lasagne one day, separate it into meal size portions, freeze it, and eat it for

I've been told I have bats in my attic...and that I'm a french fry short of a happy meal, too!
This native NYorker agrees! Nice restaurant meal & clean sheets

lead in toys/Made in China...beware of Happy Meal toys
I watched a special on CNN yesterday about lead content in toys. I did not realize by your child simply touching a toy and putting his fingers in his mouth he could be ingesting lead. The special included a segment on a nice family that lived in a brand new home with a 2 year old and 6 month old. They both tested positive for lead. A 2 year old!!!! Worried, I went to my boy's toybox this morning and it is AMAZING how many painted toys are from China. Most notably this includes happy meal toys. I haven't gotten through one toy box and already have a trash bag full of toys. Please, please go through your children's toys. Lead ingestion can lead to brain damage. Be paranoid. Throw away all of the made in China stuff. Christmas is just weeks away--they will be getting new stuff (hopefully stuff that is paint-free!).
Your best bet is to buy made in the USA toys but even safer toys are unpainted blocks, Legos and books. A good, safe place to look for toys is www.mindware.com.
pass this on!
