Sugar (granulated) in the mix, per young chef, and butter is between layers....maple syrup on once they hit his plate.
He's got it covered.     

Hellz yes

Never heard that Getright. Been my mantra t(sp) the past few days. Lived to eat last night,but that's ok too. Empowering/hard to pass up a morning bagel but let that be my hardest struggle.

Good for you Loujoe! That approach works for me. I eat fruit every morning, with at least four fruits and a single scrambled egg on the side. I sometimes have piece of toasted Dave's killer seed bread as it is low carb. Giving up the bagel with cream cheese, subs, pasta and pizza were the hardest aspects of adjusting my diet. I used to eat bagels 2-3 times a week. Now maybe once a month. I have also mostly eliminated coffee and switched to tea, but I still crave coffee 1-2 times per week. My Dr. actually said that coffee is good for me in moderation but that green tea is preferable.

Friend of mine tells me yesterday. 

Ive lost 5lbs since I switched to coke zero. I was drinking 5 Big Gulps of regular coke a week.

So then I had to do the research. 
Each big gulp of coke has 91 grams of sugar.

My lord 

Yeah I think i read a few years back that if a daily coke drinker gave it up they would lose a pound a week for a few months.
No data I could reference on that but soda has massive amounts of sugar.  Aside from weight, daily consumption is horrible for a body.
(I love caffeine l, sugar, and cokes.  Try to keep to limit but do enjoy when I drink them.  Saturdays at lunch.  Any time i have a burger, i want a coke or a cold beer.)

We both drink the propel. Great stuff
I do a lot of sugar free tea. Milos.
But I still do diet coke.

Also when we are doing are Disney Days, we drink a lot of Smart Water.

I am guilty of enjoying an ice cold coke once in a awhile, especially during the summer. I have a deli nearby that always has Mexican coke. Tough to beat on a hot day. Even in the morning with a bacon egg and cheese sandwich! That used to be a regular weekend meal with my kids. Not anymore. Now it is egg whites, mushrooms, onions and spinach on a whole wheat wrap with tea. 
EDIT: And it is a good thing that hot sauce is not bad for you, because I love on my breakfast!

Those Mexican cokes just taste so much better!

Not quite up to par with a lot of stuff in this thread, but tonight I made pollock po’ boys. I think this is the first time in my entire life I have fried something at home. 

How did you come to use Pollock?  Very versatile fish. It's one we fished for in Alaska when I worked there.  Never heard of it until I did.

Not too fishy tasting.

It's what the Filet o' Fish is made of, for what it's worth (I personally love Filet o' Fishes, lol - only decent thing McD's has besides fries and Egg McMuffins). 

I like a filet o fish on occasion. My only gripe the last time was, "have they always been this small?"

Looking good Loujoe! We eat a ton of lentils, mostly in soup.

Filet o fish is made with pollock. I do not believe I have ever had one. We have been known to keep Gorton's fillets in the freezer for quick fish tacos. It is ok, but definitely has that fish stick flavor. And imitation crab is awful and it does not even taste good. I do not know how people eat that stuff. If I want good crab, I know I have to pony up $$$.

Thanks. Finally warm enough to cook outside. Lentils, sweet potatoes carrots, grilled onions ginger water. A little salt, cracked pepper. Could and maybe will add some broth to make it into a soup. Chicken is good. Had a jar of mustard, a little oil, lots of pepper, oregano a little salt. 

Have some baby spinach and plan to eat chix with that.

Place I used to work added equal parts real crab meat and imitation to make crab cakes. They were good and I guess kept the cost down.
