Ok...we went back to our favorite Arabic resturant yesterday and I asked another waitress what it was called. We never had luck with them telling us how they make it but she said it was called, and this is phoetic, toom. She told us: Olive Oil Lemon Juice Salt Raw Garlic Puree it until it...

Yes, WOW is made with Olean. If you sit down and eat a bag of chips then your in trouble. If you do some reading on it with a little experimentation you can come down to an acceptable amount. The long and short of it is this....your body absorbs alot of fats while it travels through the...

I totally believe the second statement. My doctor told me to make most of my diet items that are 10 percent calories from fat. 15 percent were ok as a smaller portion and only once in a while having 25 percent for a dessert or something similar.

I forgot to mention and it doesn't seem that you can edit your messages here...you can make certain things taste exactly like their regular counterparts. An example. We make taco salad orginally from this recipe: 1 head lettuce 1lb ground beef 1 16oz bag of Dorito's 1 regular sized container...

We went through the same thing years ago after a heart scare. Turned out to be something else but it really did straighten us out. We tried all the diet books and honestly they were horrible. We found several EXCELLENT recipes that helped. Some quick tips: Fiber...lots of it. I have...

Thanks all for suggestion Tiliapa although I can't find the person now who first posted about it. We had that tonight with a Pineapple spicey salsa. It was great compared to other fish dishes I have had. Took no time to cook and had great consistency when it was done. Its for sure better...

Thanks for the replies. I know what you all are talking about. That is the Mid East version of Cucumbers and Sourcream. All of the Arabic resturants around here serve a garlic dipping sauce. When I order a Fattoush an wrap it in Pita we line it with the sauce. I'll check out the dressing...

We eat alot of Mid Eastern food at local resturants. They all have some style of garlic sauce. Some made with yogurt, mayonaisse, poatoes, you name it. One of the best things about the various resturants is how good their sauce is so they are very very secretive about how they make it. Our...

Thats it, its the fish taste. Its not even the fact I don't care for it. I don't care for Chicken either, unless its drenched in something bad for me, but I eat it. Fish taste just gets me almost to the point of gagging after eating more than a few bites. We'll give it a try tonight. Thanks!

Sounds odd but we're trying to eat as healthy as possible and there are some good side effects from Salmon and other fishes. The problem is, I don't like fish unless its fried and even then I'm not excited about it, but obviously that defeats the purpose. We eat low fat but not fat free. We...
