Load'em up with pepper and you've got a pretty decent tasting meal! -------------------- NICHOLE Wife to Rick and Mommy to my 3 loves..Tanner, Braedon and Alexandra MiaBella

really? i'll have to try that, seriously, i'll go buy some today. i did buy the cookies and they're really good actually but i don't use them as meal replacement...instead i use them as dessert replacement.

definitely gonna try the beans though...can i just microwave them and then add the pepper?

Often I just open a can of veggies, nuke em and just eat em.... but I never thought of it as a weight loss regimen.....

But seriosuly, there are virtually no calories in green beans, you could 5 cans if you were really hungry and no guilt and they're relatively good! It's a nice alternative to salad..sometimes I just need something hot on my stomach! -------------------- NICHOLE Wife to Rick and Mommy to my 3 loves..Tanner, Braedon and Alexandra MiaBella
