At first it was really fun keeping a daily diary of my HCG diet. Now it’s just kind of tedious. Except I was really excited about finding Miracle Noodles! But I think it’s important, and hopefully helping others! Weight: down 3 pounds from yesterday and the lowest I’ve weighed since I started weighing, but not…

New Cooking Technique: Broth Saute
I made scallops tonight in a broth saute and they were awesome! It’s SO easy. Here’s how to make lowfat scallops in a broth saute. The key: rinse the scallops and dry with paper towels. Get them as dry as you can, this will give them the “fried” effect without the fat. Do it: Heat…

Eggplant sweet potato lasagna
I had an eggplant sweet potato lasagna at a restaurant and thought to myself, “why didn’t I think of that?” But I promptly forgot about it, until I read a recipe for it in a magazine. I tore out the page, magneted it to my refrigerator, and then didn’t follow it at all. Y’all already…
