18 Microwave Snacks You Can Cook In A Mug. Diet Plans for Every Personality. Find a diet plan suited to your personality type to help you lose weight. I love reading diet plans. The idea of having meals mapped out for me is so appealing, even though in reality I’m more of a “wing it” type who’s better off having a variety of healthy foods around to choose from. As a registered dietitian, I know that when you’re trying to lose weight, it’s important to find the diet strategies that actually work with your personality rather than against it—completely eliminating your favorite food or planning to cook 3 meals a day when you hate to cook, for instance, could set you up for failure.

At EatingWell Magazine we’ve homed in on 4 diet “plans” that can work for different personalities. —Kerri-Ann Jennings, M.S., R.D. Next: 1. Food Lover » Easy Tailgate Party Recipes.

But instead you’re spending your last valuable hours comfortlessly rotating between the couch, the futon, the floor, the bed- everywhere but the kitchen. Up half the night watching episodes of The Kennedy’s (thank goodness for the DVR in your time of need). Because you’ve got the aches and chills and just the thought of food makes you feel queasy. Not cool. Maybe I should be more concerned about recovering in time to make it to work tomorrow instead of what I’m not eating.

The key to breakfast baking in the summer is to keep it as brief as possible, and that's where this recipe comes in. There have been a lot of Clif bars and leftovers eaten as breakfast in my household lately, so when these appeared my husband pounced, not believing his luck. Sweet, rich cinnamon buns — summer-style! These biscuits can be whipped up in 10 minutes or less, with a handful of ingredients, and they only stay in the oven for 16 minutes, tops.

Giant Gooey Cinnamon Breakfast Biscuits makes 4 extra-large biscuits 2 cups all purpose flour1 tablespoon dark brown sugar2 teaspoons baking powder1/2 teaspoon salt2 cups heavy cream*, divided1/2 cup cinnamon chips3/4 cup confectioner's sugar1 teaspoon vanilla Heat the oven to 425°F.

Your Guide to a Beautiful (and Delicious!) Cake. Carrot Cake with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting - Life is Great. Normally I'd go straight to the point and tell you about the cake but today we shall connect a little and kick start on a different note. Don't worry, I'll get to the cake bit soon enough. If you're tempted to scroll down all the way for the recipe though, I'm equally happy about that, simply because, that is one of the reasons why I started food blogging. Now if you're either still here because you're curious on what I'm going on about or you're back here because you realize the recipe section is missing, like I said, I promised - you will, in less than 10 minutes, be scheming to arrange for this cake to appear on your own kitchen counter.

Food and blogging are nothing new to me. When I started to post up recipes here, the goal was (and still is) to share with you what rocks my culinary boat. But I stopped short of adding coconut and pecans, which I reckon you could, though I worry if it came to that the carrots might get jealous and decide to stage a mutiny.

Pantry Purging Meal: CURRIED CHICKPEAS & RICE | Making Nice in the Midwest. Before heading to the grocery store, I like to scour my pantry and refrigerator for anything I can use to throw together one last meal.

Cinnamon Toast Rolls. The USDA released its new food pyramid the other day (which is actually a plate now instead of a pyramid), and I am sorely disappointed to report that cinnamon rolls did not appear anywhere on that plate.

In honor of their ancestry, I call these little gems cinnamon toast rolls, and here’s all you need to make them… Yep. That’s it… some soft white bread, some butter and some cinnamon sugar.
