haha I do and I don't usually eat out that often and I didn't choose the restaurants. I can't eat those things either except once in a blue moon. Today, had lunch at Copeland's, Catherine...New Orleans style restaurant. Host ordered stuffed mushrooms to start and they were stuffed with crab meat then battered and fried. Yum. Had the crab and corn bisque, salad and crab cake and shrimp on angel hair pasta. No I didn't finish it.
OMG, PRchick, I hope you are getting some regular exercise to counteract these wonderful tasting (but weight gaining) foods! Your holiday season is going to have some effect on your waistline . . . but hopefully once it all returns to same-old-same-old . . . it will return to normal,

I am with you, Horus!!! I wonder if I can find a "healthy" version of this . . . they do recommend eating seafood, lol! Well, I do have a recipe for tilapia corn chowder . . . the cream is the killer

Hey folks...............I'm putting on weight just reading all your delicious recipes
I've just realised its now 9 mths since I stopped smoking & I've piled on the pounds , that Simmers butter biscuits are a killer with me so I only hope you folks also have a good recipe for dieting after all the festivities

Yeah, and it really sucks too!! Smaller portions, lots of vegs and fruit, cut out the bread (can have a little but not every meal every day) and reduce fat! Exercise will help too!
Sometimes I hate being healthy

Yes well unfortunately all the good things in life are either illegal,immoral or fattening and agree it does get boring doing the healthy thing all the time
Me thinks my diet is going to be very difficult, normally I do eat healthy with not much fat intact & chocolate doesn't bother me either way.
Its the biscuits in place of a ciggie thats the trouble, I'll have to stop buying biscuits

Yes, best to avoid the biscuits . . . my downfall too . . . I try to avoid the aisle where all the yummy fattening items are place

[face=Comic Sans MS]It's the first biscuit in the pack that's the dangerous fattening one - why? - because it leads to all the others. (Say's she who knows after demolishing a pack of Scottish Shortbread Fantails in the last couple of days. )[/face]

Uh oh!!! I have erred in buying that shortbread yesterday . . . but it was ON SALE along with the ginger cookies and the cadbury rolls and . . . . I think I need to go out for a walk as soon as the snow has cleared up! of course, that's my excuse . . . it hasn't even fallen yet

Nothing magic about making potato salad just boil the potatoes until they are cooked but still alittle bit firm in centre dice some onions and then mix all together with mayonaise then sprinkle paprika on the top you can also slice frankfurters and mix in.
I like to use a bit of mustard and some pickle relish (sweet or dill depending on what you like or what is available).

I actually mixed about half sweet potato with half regular potatoes and I believe I changed the spices. They were crispy on the outside but without the greasiness you would get if you fried them.
Don't think thats the same potato salad as we are talking about as here in the uk it is made with cold cooked potatoes and mixed with mayonnaise and whatever else you want to put in but have just had a look at your recipe Glyph and think will give it a try as sounds good
so I only hope you folks also have a good recipe for dieting after all the festivities
