I have recently lost about 57 lbs by using a mostly protein diet. I also quit my job back in April and have not been able to find another. Unfortunately, in late August, my husband has a bad motorcycle accident (when we didn't have health insurance) and he is still recovering from that now. Cooking surely is becoming something of a sanctuary for me. I find I use this site more and more lately instead of just making the same things over and over. Strangely enough, cooking SOS ( on a shingle) seems to be one of my favorite things to cook! It's easy, but it takes some skill and when you've done it, it feels like you made something from scratch and everyone loves it! I make it with ground beef sometimes and with ground turkey sometimes for a lighter version.
