okay - one more thing. Spaghetti squash with parmesan and an elegant amount of extra virgin olive oil. Yum.

Good Lord, Ed - stay the hell away from Splenda. Cut back on sugar, re-train your palate....a man with such good tastebuds shouldn't be anywhere near that crap.

I say this with all due respect.

Serious Eats Gift Guide: For the Cookie Baker

I LOVE that cookie press. My Mom gave me hers about 15 years ago and while it can be tricky at first, it does make some terrific cookies!

Seriously Delicious Holiday Food Giveaway: Russ & Daughters

an obscene amount of gaspé salmon gently placed upon a pillow of cream cheese, atop a toasted poppyseed bagel and finished with a frisson of painfully thin red onion slices.

Fresh squeezed orange juice, and good, strong coffee.

Win Your Thanksgiving Turkey!

take the carcass, pull off the meat and make turkey stock. Then turn some of that stock into soup with the addition of carrots, parsnips, peas - whatever vegetables I deem appropriate. Shred the turkey meat, toss in some barley, simmer till all is tender and voila!
The leftover stock freezes beautifully, by the way.

Every week I roast 4 pounds of carrots at 400 degrees for 90 minutes. They sit in the refrigerator and make a delicious and filling snack with a generous sprinkling of salt.

My Seven Go-To Foods for the New Year: What Are Yours?

I often mix frozen wild blueberries w/ Fage 2% yogurt (I've tried to go fat free but I like the 2% so much more), and nothing else - the blueberries add the perfect amt of sweetness and are an extremely nutritious and low-calorie addition. And, as piccola said, the frozen berries also partially freeze the yogurt and it almost tastes like eating something much more decadent.. mmm.

I've been thinking about using frozen wild blueberries to make a smoothie with yogurt and a banana.

Hey Ed, one more thing to try in the yogurt: frozen blueberries (not thawed). It partially freezes the yogurt, which makes it extra good. Or you can be less lazy and actually put it all in the blender for something like fro-yo.

You crack me up, Karen! You're right, of course, but still... :-P

Anyway, regarding "A vegetable TBD" -- why only one? They're all good for you and VERY weight-management friendly. They're all really good prepared without all the "evil" stuff, whether steamed, roasted or sauteed in a VERY small amount of olive oil. And, almost all of them benefit from a little lo-cal flavor enhancement, whether it's a sprinkle of parmigiano reggiano, a dash of vinegar, a squirt of lemon or lime, some hot sauce, or whatever.

Not to mention how handy it is to have a large supply of cut up carrots, celery, jicama, etc., on hand in zipper bags to satisfy the overwhelming urge to chew something. Anything. Especially if it's crunchy!

So, I'd say you should just edit that last go-to item to read...
"Vegetables, of all kinds and colors, healthfully prepared."

I usually don't like flavoured yogurts, but found the following to be pretty good

1) Emmi low fat blueberry yogurt (many NYC stores and deli's have it, but Food Emporium seem to be the cheapest)

2) Spega low fat La natura Mixed berry yogurt..comes in packs of two in cute little glass jars at Trader Joe.

1. Broccolini with two slices of Turkey Bacon cut up into chunks and saute the Broccolini with the Turkey Bacon until bright green but still crisp. Top off with a little Shredded Parm-Reg and you are golden.

2. Sliced Melon with a pinch of Cypress Flake Sea Salt.

3. Watercress, Shaved Almonds, orange segments tossed together for a refreshing little salad.

4. Fage 2% with Honey.

5. Propel Fitness Water... it is just yummy and very low calorie

6. Whole fresh pear sliced and fanned out, light sprinkle of crumbled blue cheese (I like Treasure Cave for this), a pinch of chopped pecans and stick it on an oven safe plate or piece of foil under the boiler just until the cheese gets melty. So sweet and savory and really satisfying because it feels so decadent.

7. Homemade Hummus and Red Pepper Strips for dipping.

I'm sorry Ed, I'm distracted by your Splenda. Don't do it (and browsing through the post - you did indeed skip it the last time). People who make that stuff never use it. What's wrong a little bit of honey or maple syrup? It would certainly not ruin your diet.

It's not a diet tactic for me, but I need some sort of pickles around all the time. They can be fairly filling and due to the vinegar content, you will feel ill if you eat too much of it. Not very nutritional I suppose.

When I'm in dieting mode, I practically live (well, one meal a day) on a roasted vegetable stew I make. I roast red peppers, portobello mushrooms, eggplant, onions, garlic cloves and some kind of hot pepper, like jalepenos or red fresnos. Then chop the whole thing up and mix with Muir Farms Fire Roasted Crushed Tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, pepper. Cook it for 20 minutes or so. Finish when eating with a bit of olive oil and a few kalamata olives. It's delicious and healthy and has few calories.

Other must haves include:

Oatmeal, oatmeal, oatmeal (I love oatmeal)
Lots of Stonyfield Farms Low Fat Yogurt (I like greek, but prefer this for mixing with:
Apples
Mangoes
Whole grain breads
Brown Rice
A bit of pasta tossed with lots of broccoli, some garlic, feta, olive oil, crushed red pepper. Yum.
