We Left out the marshmelows

* 1 lg. red apple
* 1 banana
* 1 cup either red or white grapes
* 1/2 cup finely diced celery
* 1/2 cup pecans
* 1/4 cup powdered sugar
* 1/2 tsp. vanilla
* 1/8 tsp. almond
* 1 pt. heavy whipping cream


That's not exactly a Waldorf salad recipe. The standard recipe is apple, celery, grapes, walnuts, a little mayo, and a squeeze of lemon juice on a bed of lettuce. I often substitute golden raisins for the grapes since I almost always have raisins kicking around.

A pint of cream? Sugar? Banana? Marshmallows? That sounds like some retro 1950's-style recipe off the back of a box. Where are the Nilla Wafers?

Tonight was a baked chicken breast and some broccoli, as well as a couple of bites of chicken pot pie that my kids didn't finished(I'm a sucker for anything to do with pie crust ;) :rolleyes: )

Bastard!

I haven't had fried chicken in 15 months. The fat content and junk carb content of that meal put it in the banned food group category.

I had a romaine heart with a couple of cans of light tuna, some rasberry vinagrette, and a little olive oil over the tuna at around 4:00. I had an apple about 30 minutes ago. KFC sounds way better.

One meal of fried chicken won't kill you..it's not like I got a whole bucket..

gcummi..the atkins diet sounds steezy but I would crave pizza..

i did atkins a few years ago and lost 40 pounds. i don't really follow atkins anymore, i just avoid the obvious carbs most of the time, but not all the time.

last friday i had a great Mexican Pizza. topping include a chili, various cheeses, sour cream and hot peppers.!! i usually have the add chicken but forgot this time.
