That's funny that all three gals in the group have now plugged Cooking Light. Do you read the magazine? I tried some issues but they were more about fitness than cooking. I get my fitness info elsewhere. I use the CL web site forums, though.

My dinners have been dull by design-- grilled orange roughy with veggies, big hearty salads, soups, chicken. I've been enjoying something called "Coach's Oats" that I found at Costco. It's the taste, texture and fiber content of steel cut Irish oats but microwaves in minutes. I sometimes make steel cut oats in a small crockpot, but then I'm committed to eating it all week. This is a nice product to have around.

Has anyone used pandora.com? I'm really enjoying it for while I'm working at my desk. I recently cancelled my XM radio subscription so it's a great find. You basically build your own music stations, and it's (audio) commercial-free and no charge.

The Sunday birthday party resulted in my brother-in-law, sister-in-law and I making a Biggest Loser type bet, to see who can lose the highest percentage of their weight by Thanksgiving. I'm going on a cruise the following week, so it'd be nice to get into swimsuit shape (or at least closer to it). So Monday morning I rode my bike to Weight Watchers and re-joined. I lost 50 lbs. on a program of theirs in 04-05 and as much as I'm opposed to 'dieting' my portions & choices could use a reality check.

Soooo... if anyone's got any favorite light recipes, please post them on the wiki or in comments here!

Last night was chicken and a lot of pan-stir-fried veggies. The veggies were delicious with just some salt and soy sauce. Costco sells a giant bag of frozen mixed stir-fry vegetables.
