Guest guest Posted May 5, 2000 Report Share Posted May 5, 2000 a, It definitely says in MM that recipes are being compiled for a BFL book so why not contact them? Or write your own cookbook - yoohoo - why not! Leaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 5, 2000 Report Share Posted May 5, 2000 a, when you get that recipe for crab stuffed prawns tweaked please share! It sounds delicious. BTW, what restaurant do you get those at? I'm thinking cheat day... ~Laury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 2000 Report Share Posted May 6, 2000 Hi a, Well now, don't you think satisfying the creative need in you is just about one of the most fulfilling thing you can do? You obviously have a talent and one of the things that people always bemoan when starting the program, is they don't know what to cook. Then once they become devoted to BFL, they often find they become bored eating the same food. Imaginative variations would be welcomed by so many people and there is an ever growing number of people who are interested in healthy nutrition. You've already seen the response to your recipes here...so I say, go for it. You have nothing to lose and the potential to fill a gap while doing something you love. All the best, Leaner.

Just smile and say it is just good, healthy, normal food. Besides, isn't that what we are all eating anyway? It isn't like this is Craig or something where we have some sort of frozen entree. Is a piece of grilled fish or chicken with some lundburg rice (the good one we have been talking about - he will think it is gourmet and not healthy) and a salad BFL or just good food? I say both - but I would tell him it is just tasty food. Theresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 8, 2000 Report Share Posted May 8, 2000 That seems to be my problem. Created something paletable and healthy at the same time. I come from good old fashion farm stock and that is the way I cook. Learning how to be creative was as big or bigger a challenge as was the program itself. I am hoping to concentrate more on the cooking part this challenge so I won't be so frustrated about the food I'm eating. Part of my trouble is that my husband now asks before every meal if this is BFL food so he can make the appropriate faces as he eats. Makes it hard to enjoy my meal with him doing that.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2000 Report Share Posted May 8, 2000 He knows the look of all my meals by heart and every time he sees something new he asks before he touches it. I'm a terrible liar so I think he knows no matter what... I asked him last night, as he was grilling me about what times I ate and such, if his eating had suffered while my program was in full force. He had to admit that he had not suffered. He's just a butt%#^ & . and can't help himself, I quess. I'll live through it.... but I'm not sure he will!

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2000 Report Share Posted May 9, 2000 Jen, My husband was a butt about dinners and the way I ate too. He would always ask " WHEN is you cheat day? " I ate what I wanted and made him whatever he wanted. The guilt would set in and he would make remarks about what I was eating. Some days he would ask for a bite and admit it tasted good. Finally he would ask to have the same thing I was having. I would make him the appropriate amount for his size and he was amazed at how much he could eat. Then when he realized how wonderful he was feeling by eating that way, he decided to join me at the gym too. Now he is the one after me about what to eat and watching my portions. I think I've created a monster. LOL ~Laury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2000 Report Share Posted May 9, 2000 Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone here Laury. I asked my husband today how many candy bars he ate today and he said none. and yesterday also. I caught him drinking water too! He never does that, usually sodas or beer, so I'm watching for the BFL shoe to drop.... Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 10, 2000 Report Share Posted May 10, 2000 My old high school does a fundraiser every year where they ask for recipes from teachers, students, and parents, make it up into a small cookbook and sell it to everyone who will buy it. Maybe you can make one up and offer it on the board or other mailing lists--what do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2000 Report Share Posted December 29, 2000 Thanks girl....smile....I guess I won't 'yam' on that sweet potatoe pie in the fridge...get it.....yam?....lololll...smile..

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2000 Report Share Posted December 30, 2000 -that is a great idea about everyone sharing recipes! Yours sounds excellent. Sweet potatoes are so yummy. The only one i have to share is tofu scramble for breakfasts by getting the tofu and the pkgs of " scramble mix " from the health foood stores. it tastes pretty good and i put salsa on it too! Looking forward to hearing others. (I also get some from muscle media mag as well) If anyone wants me to duplicate one or 2 of those,let me know! sheila ----Original Message Follows---- From: cynthiatbrooks@... Reply-bodyforlifeegroups bodyforlifeegroups Subject: recipes Date: Fri, 29 Dec 2000 09:43:35 EST dang, this meal planning can be a bite! how bout we pick a meal and everyone share a fast easy recipe as we are all trying to get that 12 week planner going? I'm not normally a breakfast eater so cottage cheese with a slice of whole wheat toast or if I have time an egg white omelet with sauteed veggies will do me. How bout we share main course ideas? Have you tried baked yams (sweet potatoes). Make several at a time so you'll have them ready. Wash several and prick them with a fork. Wrap them in foil and bake at 425 until soft (about an hour). The 'taters are usually large, so plan on having just one half. So, cut in half and mash with a fork. Sprinkle cinnamon and equal over 'tater (also nutmeg and allspice if you have it), Great for a carb source and you'll think you're having dessert! (well, kinda ) just reheat for 'bout 15 minutes on 350 when you want another! (keep it in the foil) cyn _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 30, 2000 Report Share Posted December 30, 2000 Alright guys, I'm gonna have to be the Mama Bear here for just a minute....altho we are all here in this group for the same essential reason, we all bring different experiences and expectations to the group. Mark, it's ok if Sheila expresses an opinion different than yours, dont take offence. and Sheila, some of us that have been together in this group now for over a year feel we are indeed close friends if not family and maybe get a little carried away with sharing outside experiences in our life..(I know you all are excited for me that I am going to the Orange Bowl )....I personnally want to know that Nic's honey has been deployed overseas and in fact am curious as heck as to what Deus does for a living..so, lets all just relax and accept the group for who we are. Make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
