Re: (...)
I picked up CuisineLite at Costco for $6.88. The recipes are mouthwatering.
Btw, if you use TurboTax, it's marked $49.95 on the shelves but they take $10 off at the cash register. I believe they were in the sales booklet but we neglected to cut out the coupon.

I grabbed the Cuisine Lite and Slowcooker at Sams. Costco is about 2 hrs from here, but we are ordering turbotax thru costco online. I miss having Costco right down the street. Lots of good looking ideas in the Lite book, I just got it today and only thumbed thru.

THANK YOU! I had received an offer on this book for $10 (free shipping) and it was on my list of things to do. Again, procrastination has paid off!!!

I'm hoping to pick this up tomorrow. I need to cook from this exclusively for the next few weeks! I have GOT to stop with the high calorie dinners!

Oh Daphne, so do I. I've been playing at dieting but each year I gain. This can't go on!

I agree, the recipes in the book look interesting and tasty - first one tonight and then onwards - with a few from the slow cooker one thrown in here and there.
Madmax says the Cowboy beans in the slow cooker book is great. And the Chili Chicken Verde - also very good.

Review===I made the Beef Stew tonight. Can only rate a 6 but know the changes I think should be made. First, way too much thyme. Instead of 1 Tbs I
I think 1 teasp would be better. The thyme was overpowering. Also I'd season the flour with salt and pepper before browning. I always do that but really
followed the recipe this time. We also added a little Franks's hot sauce to round it nout and a little more Worcestershire. With the changes I'd definitely make it again, maybe rate it a 8n 1/2.

Well, if I could remember how to edit my last post I would. Can you tell I was typing in the dark last night? Forgive the bad posting job.
