Would love to have your comments on a new blog of mine, Chew on this! It's not for money, it's not for profit, it's just for fun.

I just happen to like two things...writing and food.

I'm sharing my latest meals, tips, and ideas for healthy eating. I just started this yesterday, so there are only three or four post. Given time though, I hope to have at least three a week.

I hope you enjoy it!

JJ, that is a beautiful blog! Great combination of text and pics! Very enticing! Have fun.

Why thank you ma'am...I'm thinking of moving it though in the next few weeks. What fun!

And thank all of you for dropping by and leaving comments. Are you the best or whattt?

What surprises me the most about this blog is the fact that no one commented on the mushroom bake. Am I the only one who could eat them out of the ground? I love these things! I've baked them twice using this simple recipes and I can tell you now, they are LAIR-A-PIN!

Moving on... how does your salad dressing weigh in?

I had to join to post, posted a comment about breakfast but it is not there. I am befuddled!Great looking blog site however, fun!

AHA!!!! I found the comment under Chew On This by Trixie about loving salads and how to eat one for breakfast...

I spent time at summer school beside a Danish lady who when we went to choose our meals choose salad as a starter at lunch/ dinner rather than a sweet..she said she does that every day.I feel she knew a good thing...cultural differences in food is so interesting.Any local to you themes Boomers..
In Scotland there is the habit of afternoon tea with fancy baking..not good really..OK now and again..

I'll join you in the mushroom love-in, JJ. Love them. Shitake most of all.

And how do you fix them, Lola? I would love to know. I've started buying more and more of them because I love them baked with cheese (all fat-free) as a side dish and just hate running out. I don't live near a grocery store, so it's a trip to town, literally, to restock.

Today I'm blogging about a fat-free treat for the kids, or you...I make them for the grandkids but if they don't come buy, guess who eats them? Yeppers. I usually call my daughter-in-law and say don't come by here, I have the jungle rot, scurry, and berry-berry...she says, "You've made the JELL-O things, haven't you?"

Busted...

Thanks for the jello recipe. I'd surely make them.

Here's one. After you've evicted the tenant dwarf and his gang from the mushrooms:

6 cloves finely chopped garlic
(more if you don't like your neighbours )

olive oil
sherry
lemon juice
paprika

Saute the mushrooms in olive oil until it softens then add the garlic, lemon juice, sherry and paprika and cook until the garlic has softened as well. Season to taste and serve on buttered (or cream cheese) baguette with a garnish of chopped parsley or dill.

I also cook my portobellos like you do but would occasionally add spinach on top of the cheese. (no PAM here though so I clog my arteries with butter). And, a slice of tomayto-tomahto.

Mushroom omelette with feta and spinach is also yummy.
