This maybe a silly question, but I'm quite young and don't really cook
veggies that much (well until now anyways). My mom usually bought the
frozen ones or in a can. Is there a way to "steam" them w/o a steamer?

Truth be told we have an electric steamer that you only rinse if using
just
vegetables. I will actually, if pushed use it and it does an excellent
job
of cooking just about everything. Lee

Thanks, I'll check them out too.

What I love for a treat is General Foods International Instatnt Coffee
mixes. They're very sweet and have only one point per serving.

I decided to have my cereal this morning with a full cup of milk. Just

had

to carry it to the table very carefully for fear of spilling the milk.

I

drink the milk in the cereal bowl anyway so this was an easy way to

get

1

cup in for the day. I will buy a small 1 cup drink container this

weekend to

bring the other cup to work. Maybe I'll have part of it with my

morning

snack and finish it off with lunch. I'll drop the yogart from my lunch

to

give me the points to cover the milk. I was having the yogart instead

of

milk anyway so this works for me. Or I will alternate yogart and my

fruit

dessert at lunch. Both 1 point. Oops, I forgot that milk is 2 points

per

cup. I'll have to find another 1 point somewhere. I'm also going to

check

out the SF hot chocolate mixes to see if any can be made with skim

milk.

That would make a nice evening snack especially now that it is

starting

to

get cold here.

Have the milk with cereal or in your coffee, or you can whip up a WW
smoothie with milk, it makes it rich and creamy then vs. the water

which

does not get it to thicken up.

Thanks krys. I know we want it both. Most of the time we can have it

but

not


always. This is one of those times. I am going to try and eat more

food

and


up my dairy. I had been eating yogart and cottege cheese. One of the

fellow


Curvers said that their leader said that we should be having 2 cups

of

MILK


a day. Not just dairy products but actual milk. I'm going to see how

I

can


work these points into my menus. I'm going aim for 1 cup a day this

week

and


see how we do. I hate milk so drinking it is going to be difficult.

Aw - you and me - same place, same deal. Size shrinkage not weight
shrinkage! Can we help it if we want both? *grin*

best of luck for this week

Put me down for a loss of 2lb this week. This puts me back down to

my


long


standing weight of 219. This is week 5 at this weight. :-(

On the positive side of things, I can happily say that my time at

Curves


has


paid off. In 2 months I have lost 7 inches. So I may not be losing

weight


I


certainly am losing inches. Losing both would be nice, of course.

Now if I could only figure out how to break this stall I'd be a

happy


camper....
