That SOUNDS WONDUBAR!!    I can't wait to try it.

I emailed the author of the recipes regarding grams, carbs, sugars.  But she says she would have to submit at least 35 to get the breakdown as it is very costly.  She has put out several books of weigh loss and inspirational motivation.  Here is her name:  Janice Taylor.  I will copy her email and post it for anyone who is interested.  (just discovered my apostrophe  does not work anymore.)  I can not wait until payday to try some of these recipes.  They all look simple and tasty.

Kathy that sounds really good, I have to watch pasta still almost two years out but I may make this for a get together we are to go to next Saturday after his game!!!  Let  you know how it turns out!!!

I would be interested.  I can't eat it though with no teeth.  I posted a letter I received from the author regarding the numbers. 

Hi Sheila, I too have to watch my pasta and it's been almost 3 years for me.  I love my spaghetti sauce, but I have a hard time eating regular spaghetti noodles.  I was in the Dollar General and bought the mexican ones, they are really small and I am able to eat them without choking on them.  My daughter-n-love is mexican and she uses them for my little grandson as  he took can't handle the long ones.  As for mac-n-cheese, as much as I love that, a box is just too much for just me, so I buy the little ones and even that is two meals for me.  I like to take mac-n-cheese and add mild salsa to it.  Yummy, sometimes I'll add a little cooked chicken to it and make like a goulash dinner. 

Hi There Kathy and TN Peeps,   Unfortunately, sending recipes to food labs are having nutritional labels made are costly!   I need to send quite a number at a time. They won't do one or two; a minimum of 25 to 35.   Therefore, the recipes I create for Beliefnet are straight out of my oven.  No numbers.   However, I have written two very good books ... actually great books. Both of which have fabulous recipes and wonderfully motivational and inspirational tips for anyone who even thinks about weight.  They are not weight loss plans.  They are better!  Perfect for you all.   The most current book (out just this past May) is ALL IS FORGIVEN, MOVE ON: Our Lady of Weight Loss's 101 Fat Burning Steps on Your Journey to Sveltesville ... and the other book - OUR LADY OF WEIGHT LOSS: Miraculous and Motivational Musings from the Patron Saint of Permanent Fat Removal (2 years young) is also GREAT!   I do hope you will find what you are looking for in those books.   Please send my regards to your friends.  I am a Life & Wellness Coach, specializing in weight loss, since I myself permanently removed over 50 pounds 7 years ago.  Many of my clients have undergone gastric bypass and lap-band surgeries.  After all, weight loss is a good deal of a mindset ... no matter the road you take to lose the weight.    
Spread the word (NOT the icing!).   Deliciously yours,   Janice Taylor Life & Wellness Coach/Hypnotist, Author   "Kooky Genius"  ~ O, The Oprah Magazine "Finally!
