Skinny vanilla caramel hazelnut and cinnamon dulce. Frappaccino lights are best. And above all else, skip the whip and use nonfat milk on mochas or pumpkin spice lattes.

@Sean, lol, I know right. Now that I'm not longer working at Starbucks the onus will fall on someone else to switch it up.

Ashley Jones P90X has really got me motivated and I enjoy doing a different workout every day. It's supposed to help you lose fat and gain muscle mass. I started at 126lbs. and now, 5 weeks in, I weigh 129lbs. I haven't been eating anymore than I did before. I eat rather healthy overall. Why am I gaining weight?? Any ideas?

Gaurav Kapil: If overall your volume (body) is trimming then it is muscle gain which I think is most probable answer as already mentioned by Eric.

I used to weigh 214 lbs and now weigh 225 lbs. I look skinnier(many of my friends have commented on it)and i weigh a lot more.

It is actually a rather common complaint that when you start exercising you gain weight. This will be for the short term only. You gain a bit of weight and then as your metabolic system becomes more efficient you look skinnier. Plus you'll be toned.

Ashley Jones I started P90X two weeks ago and am really enjoying the variety of workouts. I haven't noticed much difference physically (I'm 5'3" and 125lbs to start), but overall I feel better and have more energy. I hope that as I continue over the next few weeks to notice more tone and emphasis in my muslces. Has anyone else tried P90X? What are your results?

I do a lot of cardio/strength intervals so the amount of time spent on the workout isn't as important as the intensity. I trust how my body is feeling on a certain day and do what feels right - even if it means sleeping in.

Ashley Jones Tomatoes. We have way too many tomatoes coming from our garden and would really like to save some for after summer. I have no idea how to "can" anything. Can you freeze tomatoes? If yes, what is the best way to do so?

Score the tomatoes with a small "X" on the bottom & dunk in the water for about a minute, then remove, cool for a minute until you can handle them, then peel & core. You can then slip them into freezer bags and freeze - they won't be good for salads, but you can make sauce out of frozen tomatoes (or freeze tomato sauce), with no problem.

Then put them into freezer bags and press out as much air as you can and you're done.
Good luck!

It was a recipe from my aunt with romaine lettuce, sliced almonds, dried cranberries, green onions and crumbled bacon with a homemade dressing (vegetable oil, sugar, red wine vinegar, pepper and salt). It was a hit! I was really nervous what it would taste like, but it went over fabulously! :) Thanks for your input!

I have one simple rule when it comes to getting the most out of my fruits and veggies: eat the rainbow. Eat as many different colors of fruits and veggies as you can. Each color corresponds to a powerful group of pigments called bioflavonoids. Some great examples from the food rainbow: RED: bell peppers, cherries; ORANGE: carrots, citrus fruit; YELLOW: onions, mangoes; BLUE/PURPLE: blueberries, purple potatoes. Bioflavonoids = anti-oxidants. Complete the rainbow and you're good to go.

john jiaones A few ideas: top the filets with a mix of parmesan and panko crumbs and then bake. Or, wrap them in parchment paper, and bake till tender. Serve with a lemon butter wine sauce seasoned with capers. Another idea is to top each fillet with sliced tomatoes, bake, then top it with kalmata olives and a dash of olive oil How does that sound?
