NOT plus sized!! wooooo hooooo

Sounds yummy... Awesome news on the regular sized clothes... Can't wait to get there. Keep up the great work Tammy

Bonnie, Bonnie, Bonnie!!!! CONGRATULATIIONS on wearing regular-sized clothing! I am SO envious. I can't wait until I get to that day! You are doing an awesome job of using your tool! I have a variation on your shepherd's pie! I take one of those little microwave containers of Dinty Moore Beef stew and use my potato masher to break up the beef in it. Then I put it in an oven safe dish, covered it with mashed potatoes and put at least an ounce of good cheddar or colby on it. ( i also sneak some dried milk or unflavored protein powder in the potatoes for some added protein.) Then I put it in the oven at 400 until the cheese melts and the potatoes decide to brown.Anyway, it makes two meals for me and I figure ( with the juiced up potatoes) about 15 grams of protein per serving. And almost NO cooking!!! I am making your shepherd's pie for my family tonight. I think we are all going to love it! Holly
