My Italian Grandmother was a terrific cook. Even she did not eat in Italian restaurants. I am fussy when it comes to Italian eateries as well.

My father's family came from Italy and they made the most amazing food! They had a huge garden so there were a lot of great vegetable dishes and the most wonderful marinara sauce I have ever had. We have all tried to replicate it, but haven't quite been able to do it exactly the way they did. Still we are able to make much better sauces than you would find in most restaurants.

I have never had better Italian food in a restaurant than I have had at home. They just don't use premium ingredients and they don't take the time to do it well. There is nothing better than home cooked Italian food!

Went back to Weight Watchers to re-earn my Lifetime member benefits 6 years ago and have been below goal now for 5 years. I had to cut out all complex carbs and Dairy. I have never felt better. Down a total of 56 pounds.

I haven’t had carbs in years or dairy- started working out differently and seeing some results- don’t want to know my weight 😉

Melt about a 1/2 cup of peanut butter in the micro.
About 20 seconds?

Pour over three good sized scoops of chocolate ice cream.
It will begin to re-solidify when it hits the cold.

Ambrosia.

If voting made you lose weight, everyone would vote.

Nachos are the greatest food ever. If they made me lose weight, I would be a happy lady.

Actually, maybe not. It could end up being a curse like in Stephen Kong's Thinner.
