Ruthie quit being so hard on yourself~~you are doing great. We are all older now and it took awhile to gain it so it will take awhile to take it off:) Do I sound like a WW's leader??? WC I cook just like you no sauces, no butter very simple I always have, that is why everyone in my family is at a good weight:) I on the other hand am a junk food, stress, worrier eater:( My DH has always worked evenings so by the time I was done running kids around and fiddling with them I just vegged on the couch and ate:( I even hid candy bars in my purse, I did not want my kids eating the sweets LOL!! OH, the bad in the taco salad was the sour cream and the guacamole a plain avacodo does not bother me, but you never know what resturants add to the guacamole to make it not turn dark. I would rather have it all on the side they just put too much on I took about 1/2 of it off. I eat taco salads alot at home too. Last night was my weigh in, I lost 1.2 pounds last week~~~~I asked how can that be I am just trying to maintain??? And I keep losing??? I have even lost count of how many extra points I get now?? I will have to ask next week. I will be a lifer by next Friday:)I got another charm for the key chain they gave me~~~you get a key chain after you lose 10% of your body weight~~then a star charm with WW on it for getting to your goal, last night I got another charm of hands clapping, for being there 16 weeks (I got it two weeks late) I will get something else next week for being a lifer:) I keep my CURVES pass on the key chain too:) I like them all, they are very nice looking:) LOL!! Last night I was so starved after WW's the time is before I usually have dinner so I do not eat before I go also thinking I will weigh less:) Usually I will get something fast food to take home, always racking my brain as to what would be OK. I got a bacon cheese burger at my fav hamburger place~~no cheese and no sauce GAWD it tasted so good! When I got it home I added my fav hot mustard and a bit of bar-b-que sauce:( YUMMERS That may be my extra points for the week once I sit and figure it out but it was worth it. I knew it was good when my cat tried to attack me to get it:) I am off to clean my house~~it is a two story so that should count for alot of exercise today:)

I saw on Rachael Ray, that she put them in muffin tins and baked them. They would be less fattening that way. But I was wracking my brains trying to remember who did the meatballs that I'm looking for................EUREKA! I finally remembered. Tyler Florence! So I looked it up on FoodNetwork and here it is............... Spaghetti and Meatballs Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 medium onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, chopped 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves 1 cup milk 4 thick slices firm white bread , crust removed, cut into cubes, about 2 cups 2 pounds ground beef 2 pounds ground pork 1 egg 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1/2 pound mozzarella cheese , cut into 10 (1-inch) cubes Heat 3 tablespoons oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat; cook the onions, garlic, and parsley until softened, about 10 minutes. Scrape out onto a plate and allow the mixture to cool; set the pan aside. Pour the milk over the bread into a medium bowl and let it soak while the onions are cooling. Combine the meats in a large bowl and add the egg and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Squeeze the excess milk from the bread and add the bread to the bowl along with the cooled onion mixture. Using your hands, gently combine all the ingredients until they are thoroughly mixed. Don't overmix or the meatballs will be tough. Divide this mixture into 10 pieces and form them into patties. Place a mozzarella cube onto each patty and bring up the sides around the cheese to form a ball completely enclosing the cube. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the remaining oil in the skillet over medium heat and brown the meatballs on all sides, about 10 minutes. Put them into the oven and bake until the meatballs are cooked through, about 15 minutes.

Teresa-NC - recommend to you what I do for flies: Spray a little anti-bug spray on a paper towel and blot the place where they land. The flies always seem to land at the same place so it deters them from repeating. My market is having a hard time competing with the dumpster at the end of the parking lot we inhabit on Saturday mornings that is filled with refuse from the next door over's fish restaurant. Also, a small battery operated fan strategically located to blow over the offerings keeps them from landing. P.S. I go to Sugar Mountain in October and my view is all of Beech Mountain. Suppose you are looking back and seeing me on Sugar? T'wd be too funny! Nancy

I m licking my chops over this one!!
