Quick & easy recipes.........
I had never ever liked refried Beans ...but i tried them again the other day and they were really good. so now i'll take: 1 small flour tortilla some of the refried beans shredded nacho cheese. and a bit of salsa, just to make it a little wet so it goes down better then i put the tortilla in a frying pan and then all the toppings. and heat it all up till the tortilla is crispy and everything else it all hot and melted Very tasty!

Anyone Try GOLD Standard Protein Drinks?
Its funny that you mention Dr. wheelers product. That was the very last diet i tryed before my band! It did work, and the shakes did fill you up pretty fast. But in the end, it worked out just like every other shake diet i tried, it got boring. But if you must try it, i have some left over, if you want it. i think i have the chocolate and the vanilla. If you want to bye it, let me know. Talk to you soon! Carly
