You are probably wondering what on earth is mental eating. Well, for me, I have realized how much of my eating habits, likes and dislikes are mental. Do I really have a stomach 10 times larger than yours? Nope. But do I like to feel like I am eating more? Heck yes!!

I am always on the hunt for items that give me more volume for my calorie allotment, or simply look like it. There is nothing more exciting than to realize I can have TWO of an item instead of one. LOL

My latest 'find' is the Thomas Bagel Thins. With only 110 calories, yet still the same physical size of a regular bagel, I almost feel... read more 1 comments

I am in love with the La Tortilla Low Carb, Low-Fat Tortillas. I have now gotten my husband hooked on them too ;) He is a sandwich type of guy, but instead of just one sandwich, he usually want two. At 50-80 calories per slice of bread, he's looking at 320 calories in bread alone! Now that he has tried my new tuna melt, he is able to save the calories and eat them elsewhere.

I will also be launching my cookbook website later this... read more 1 comments

I was in the grocery store the other day and I scored on some red, orange and yellow peppers. I think I ended up paying $1.40 for 4 of them!! I immediately thought of this recipe and grabbed a few green peppers in addition to my other colors and headed home to cook. :D For those of you following an LBC plan, my plan called for 100g ground beef, 100g rice, 1 cup veggies. In order to make the macro-nutrients match, I took 10g of rice away and added the Rotel. (1/3 can per pepper) See recipe below.
