[msbooty1976]

what kind of dressing do u use on ur salads???

[princessiam123]

Hi what all do you fix w/ teh ground beef meat? Thanks!

[macomarell]

We seem to like lean ground beef better than most cuts of beef. I make several things with it, ground beef patties, a meatloaf, meat balls, and tacos come to mind right now.

Oh and a Joe's special, with mushrooms, spinach and other goodies. Guess I better be making a video on that one.

I like your video! I have been counting calories for about four months and have dropped 30 pounds. (feel great) Regarding organic foods, I've read on Consumer reports that anything you have to peel (oranges ect.) do not have to be organic. Makes sense but if you can afford all organic, more power to ya!

[macomarell]

Congratulations on your weight loss.

I don't always buy organic grown fruits and veggies. I try but sometimes can't find what I want. I haven't read about oranges etc guess I need to.

Better than eating organic is not eating processed foods.

Good luck with your continued good health.

Your freezer looks like mine. But your food dishes look so much prettier than mine, hmmm? Thanks for shaing!

[waterchicklet]

That chipoltle pepper is very hawt!!! lol What all do you do with the corn tortillas?

[macomarell]

That chipoltle is very hot. I forget it sometimes and over do it.

I make fajitas and tacos from fish, beef and chicken with the sprouted corn tortillas. They are scrumptious.

[aaahhhhaaaahhhh]

i ate a whole can of chipoltle sauce once.

[macomarell]

I don't eat cheese except in the pizza and not too often. It is a special meal around here and a unhealthy one at that according to my new way of eating. I don't know if it is going to work out for me. To restrictive I think but tasty.

[rugratstar]

I love your grocery hauls Marjie!! My goal is to shop more in the produce area.... more so than I do now!!! lol Do you mix the Kale, Romaine, and Spinach in your salad??

[macomarell]

Thanks,

I do mix the Kale and Romaine in the salad, this week I had the Spinach separate and raw with a hot dressing poured over it.

I am loving all this raw food I am eating.

[curvymary]

Awesome grocery haul and it really inspires me to eat healthy. All of it looked so fresh, nutritious and delicious.

[macomarell]

Thanks, I just made another one of those huge salads.

I love the taste of fresh.

[CurvyElegance]

Nice haul! I never knew that about Celestial Seasons. How do you like Stivia?

[macomarell]

Thanks,

I didn't know it had soy either until I read the label at the store, The one I bought doesn't.

I love Stevia, but not the brand in this video. I like the one I buy at Trader Joe's better. It has no fillers.

[Haezo84]

All that looks so yummy!! I'm tempted to buy fish, but I've never liked it at resturants, and I'm afraid I'll cook it wrong.

But I loooove sushi.. go figure. xD

[macomarell]

I have never tried sushi, guess I should.

I cook very few fish, mostly salmon and halibut, they are the easiest to cook. They are pretty firm fish.

[macomarell]

I do tend to overspend. Why the heck are groceries so darn high? Sucks. I need to grow a few veg this year. The easy ones anyway.

Yep no more room in that freezer for sure.

[macomarell]

Hey, watch out with that chipotle powder, it is HOT, I have use too much of it a few times. I love the stuff.

Stevia is great, I don't like the brand in this vid. I am going back to the one I bought before. You can see it in an older groc. haul.

[macomarell]

It is yum, I eat it twice a day, huge and I mean huge plate of it. I actually look forward to it, but must admit, I don't like chopping it all that much.

[macomarell]

That salad is good, it has romaine, kale, bell pepper, cucumber, garden onions, apple, basil and raisins in it. The dressing tastes fab on it. I love the taste of sweet and salt together. Yum oooo

[macomarell]

Thanks, wish I didn't have to do it once a week. Maybe I should buy some seeds and grow a few veg.

[OneCoupleLosingIt]

I would so love to come to dinner with you! Yummy! :D

[macomarell]

Yea, it would be nice to have company for dinner.

[deasteinwand]

freezer looks great!!! yummy clean haul!!

[macomarell]

Freezer was organized before I dared open it for a vid:-)

[angienicholas]

yes I agree I like the title change as well. great haul. you are inspiring me. I am so ready to lose this weight. Thanks for the support and for being an insperation Angie

[macomarell]

Your so Welcome Angie.

We will both lose our last 20 pounds.

[TheStarvingSoprano]

Love the change in title "and I will be". That you will (and pretty much are!)

Great haul as always!

[macomarell]

Thanks so much Em.

I am still hoping to lose that last 20 pounds. My body is rebelling right now but my mind is set to win.

[macomarell]

Yes, freezers sure are great to have. I have a small upright too. I should fill it up too.

[Manyshapes]

HOW DO YOU COOK YORU kALE?

[macomarell]

I chop up the kale and eat in raw in my salads. It is great raw.

[LynneDiann82]

wow that salad in the opening part of the video has totally inspired me to make a salad tonight. i'm going to have some shrimp too - just steamed, cleaned shrimp. yum.

[macomarell]

That is the salad I eat for lunch and before dinner. It has garden onion, red bell, cucumber, apple, basil, kale, romaine, and supposed to have raisins but they are my binge food so I can't bring them home.

The dressing makes it even more healthy with flax oil, lemon, honey, dijon mustard salt and pepper. i love salt and sweet together. Best darn salad ever.

[bghdz]

a jammed freezer means it will not have to work as hard to remain cool. so you will be saving money on electricity while getting healthy. win win. great job on everything you've accomplished

[macomarell]

Thanks, I never thought about the freezer deal, makes sense.

[fit2btried]

I'll have 2 apples and a banana please!

Ohhhh I luv salmon and halibut - yummmmo!! Everything always looks so delish! And luckily I watched this before the hunger monster attacks me

[macomarell]

Ha ha,

You caught me.

I cooked the Halibut tonight, wow, was it good.

I took pictures.

[justacameragirl]

nice haul

[macomarell]

Thanks Coleen.

[liplylips]

do you get all this in Trader Joes?

[macomarell]

No, I actually get very little at TJ's. I don't like their produce.

I shop at Raley's it is a local chain in Northern Calif.

[liplylips]

They have the same things. Except for the meats. But all the teas, veggies, fruits and grains Ive seen at TJs.

and the same thing happens to me when i got shopping Hunrgy. Almost take the whole store with me.

[macomarell]

Our TJ's must be smaller than yours. It has very few teas, I buy coffee for the husband there and bread. The frozen veggies too and sometimes fish. Oh, and goat cheese if I am in the mood for it.

[liplylips]

Probably.

I've never had goat cheese. Can you describe the flavor?? Is it like cream cheese, or cottage cheese?

[LynneDiann82]

I love goat cheese, which is funny b/c I'm not into "strange" cheeses. I like cheddar, provolone, and american. Also, cream cheese and cottage cheese I'll eat. Goat cheese is superb with rosemary crackers. It tastes very mild and smooth, but I guess I could see why someone wouldn't like it. The taste isn't as pungent as cottage cheese or cream cheese. It's hard to describe, especially bc I don't eat any other soft cheeses, so I can't really compare it.

[macomarell]

Goat cheese has a tang to it that I like, the last one I tasted was soft with honey added. I like it on pizza, I made a video on it, of course it does not have honey for a pizza.

[macomarell]

I sure hope that freezer stuff last a few weeks. Seems I am hoarding food. Weird, when I was fat there was never anything to eat in the house, I shopped almost every day.

[macomarell]

I enjoy fish but not all kinds. Salmon and Halibut mostly.

[macomarell]

I eat the kale raw, just chop it up for my salad. It has a great and mild taste. The nutrients in it are out of this world.

[Jazmine375]

That salad looks soooo good! mmmmm...

yeah, the CS teas have soy, and I generally dont do soy, but I will eat stuff that has a little soy in it. Although, maybe i shouldn't drink tea with it in it, considering how much tea I drink..hmmmm that Clementine kind looks good.

salmon ..yuuuuum I over shop all the time..I may be broke, but I wont be hungry LOL

[macomarell]

I drink lots of tea too.

The salmon was very good and so was the salad. I had a huge plate of it. Very huge.

[fattycakestv]

haha i spotted the faux man parts. the bread is for the greek right? that salmon looks delish!

[macomarell]

Yes you spotted them. :-)

The Greek is the only one that eats bread around here. I am happy he likes the sprouted kind.

[Rachele77]

YUMMY!!! R77

[macomarell]

YUMMY!!! is right.

I am hungry and my salad is already made for me. Love it!!

[BNV83]

that chamoille/ clementine tea sounds amazing!

[macomarell]

I am going to make a cup right now. I want to know.

[MyQuest4Health]

EVerything you purchased looks so beautiful. Man, we need groceries.

[macomarell]

Thanks, I had to ask for the salad stuff. I am finding the stores have less stuff to buy. Scary.
