This month I will treat you to lunch-time recipes! Most of the lunches on South Beach, particularly in Phases 1 and 2, are salads. And believe me, we’ve eaten some pretty yummy – and some not-so-yummy-but-you-choke-it-down-because-you’re-hungry – salads. The trick for us has been to make sure we include protein with the salads to help… Continue reading Cookin’ on the Beach: Is it lunchtime yet?

South Beach Update
This makes me feel SO much better. It’s good to know fat can happen to HER, too. For once in my life, I can feel satisfied knowing I’m thinner and prettier – and far more active – than Barbie. Now, where’s MY townhouse and my spiffy sports car?
South Beach Update: Cookin’ Breakfast on the Beach
You know, I’ve been sharing all these wonderful recipes for dinner foods, but South Beach is all about lifestyle and that includes breakfast. So, for the next few weeks, I’ll share with you some of what have become my favorites for breakfast. Today, you get an oldie but goodie.  What I love most about it… Continue reading South Beach Update: Cookin’ Breakfast on the Beach
South Beach Update: Cookin’ on the beach
This week’s menu will come as an absolute shocker to anyone in my family. Yes, first it was Barbecue and this week it’s FISH! Salmon, no less. It’s true. This from the girl who was nearly disowned from her lobster-lovin’ New England family. I still don’t like lobster, and my husband has tried to no… Continue reading South Beach Update: Cookin’ on the beach
South Beach Update: Cookin’ on the Beach
This week you’re in for a true Texas treat: Barbecue! I know, I know, BBQ sauce is high in sugar and carbs, and most BBQ meat is fatty not lean. True, but where there’s a will there’s a way. And this is a great recipe, especially grilled. Rather than serving it with fried okra or… Continue reading South Beach Update: Cookin’ on the Beach
South Beach Update: Cookin’ on the Beach
We’re getting closer! It’s down to 1 lb…and then I’m back at rock bottom. Hopefully THIS will be the week I can get off this plateau and get back on the losing streak! Until then, I present another tasty menu. This is so super easy…I threw it together on a whim one Saturday evening. My… Continue reading South Beach Update: Cookin’ on the Beach
South Beach Update: Ready to Move Ashore?
This is one of those good news-bad news posts. The bad news is I haven’t recorded a net loss in 3 months. The good news is I’m closer to my lowest weight than I’ve been since Thanksgiving. So maybe, just maybe, the tide is turning. Maybe, just maybe, this will be the week I record… Continue reading South Beach Update: Ready to Move Ashore?
South Beach Update: Just Hangin’ On the Beach
I’m happy to report that the scale and I have reached a truce. We are now back on speaking terms. Our relationship is volatile and there are likely to be many more tense moments, but for now things are good. Not as good as I had hoped, but defninitely better than they were. And while… Continue reading South Beach Update: Just Hangin’ On the Beach
South Beach Update: Back on the Beach
The holidays are over, my children are back in school, Matt is back at work…and it’s time to get serious. No more Christmas cookies. No more holiday pies or sweet breads. No more turkey dinners, glazed hams, or sugared veggies. No more steaming hot cups of frothy hot cocoa, mounded high with sweet whipped cream.… Continue reading South Beach Update: Back on the Beach
South Beach Update: Oatmeal and Cottage Cheese Edition
Theft Problem – IMPORTANT MESSAGE: You’ve heard about people who have been abducted and had their kidneys removed by black-market organ thieves. My thighs were stolen from me during the night a few years ago. I went to sleep and woke up with someone else’s thighs. It was just that quick. The replacements had the… Continue reading South Beach Update: Oatmeal and Cottage Cheese Edition
