hey all -- i've really been enjoying all the great posts on fitsugar and the helpful tips everyone offers, and i want to throw my own into the mix.
since i started watching my food intake more carefully about 2 years ago, i've discovered and fallen in love with lean cuisine meals -- they're the only brand that to me actually tastes like GOOD FOOD, and they really help me from eating too much at lunch time.
but after a while, even as they added new combinations, i was getting soooo bored and craving something more substantial.

Tandoori turkey in the oven
For a few years now I've wanted to try to marry the traditional Southern Indian food my husband grew up enjoying with Thanksgiving as I know it (Southern girl with a love of spice and heat).
So this year I did a trial run of a tandoori-style turkey made in the oven. By next year I hope to build my own tandoor, or at least grill this guy, because it needs a little more heat to crisp up properly.

Growing up my mom would make home made creamed corn on holidays or special occasions. She would cut the tips of the fresh corn then scrape the remainder into a bowl. Just to get a bowl full for a meal, she would have to use about 30 ears of corn.

Henry Hager And Jenna Bush Wedding
Your wedding will no doubt be the most romantic day of your lives, it's a celebration of love and commitment. But it's also the biggest party you'll probably ever throw. So pull out all the stops and make it a night to remember.

Whether you use one or 10 of them, we hope you will find at least a few new and creative ideas to make your reception even more fabulous.

Skip the huge head table at the reception, share an intimate dinner for two, or share a small table with your parents or children.
Ask your caterer to prepare a late night snack for the bride and groom. As more often than not you are too busy with guests when dinner is served.
Want to use those disposable cameras on the reception tables. To avoid having hundreds of the same pictures by turning your guests into creative photographers with a photo hunt. Leave a list of ten great photos you would like that table to take during the reception. Photo ideas could include; build a pyramid, group table shot, funniest pose, a guest kissing the bartender or grandparents holding hands.
Don't like the disposable cameras but still want to get memories captured by your guests? Set up a docking station so guests can load their photos to your computer on the spot.
Offer your guests one or two signature cocktails that you've personalized with a cute name and your wedding colors.

I keep myself physically fit because I want to... it's a lifestyle choice and many of my favorite activities involve running around. My boyfriend doesn't lead the same lifestyle, which is fine by me...

and it did not go well. Every week I have to schedule one "cheat meal" in my cheat day. I am thinking of dumping this day altogether.

I've been combing the internet lately for inexpensive meal ideas and ways to cut back on our food spending. With gas prices going so high and my husband and I not commuting together any longer, our budget is definitely being impacted and I'm looking for every little way possible to save money.
I came across this article on the Living on a Dime website, called Saving Money in the Kitchen, and I think it has some really good tips and suggestions, so I thought that I'd share it with you!
