I started drinking Silk Almond Coconut milk...it is absolutely wonderful in a smoothie.

Recipe please

No real recipe...ice in the blender, then maybe a cup or less of the milk, plain nonfat yogurt, vanilla flavoring (like DaVincis flavoring they use at Starbucks), some kind of flavored protein powder (like slimfast powder), then as much water as I think is needed to make a decent size smoothie. Blend and pour.

So Delicious coconut milk yogurt is great to add to a curry. It really gives it an authentic, Indian taste. It's also yummy in a fruit smoothy.

Sorry none of the above even sounds good to me. I don't like to try new foods.

Jingle, I have to chuckle reading what you wrote. I had a childhood of very little variety in foods. Had I not been adventurous with food, I would never have discovered the joy of real spaghetti, Mexican food, Chinese food, steak, cheddar cheese, yogurt, fresh tomatoes, oranges anytime I wanted (not just for Christmas), the list goes on and on. All I can say is, at least once try jasmine rice. It smells so good I would wear it as perfume, and tastes just as good, even plain.

I had a cold couscous salad with little chunks of veggies at a restaurant this week. It was so good. I'd love to find a recipe for it.

I totally agree, we were raised on potatoes and beans. I love food, and will try just about everything. One night while at my favorite Jamaican place they asked me if I was jamaican, (I don't even come close to sounding or looking the part so that surprised me) I told them no, they ask if I was married to one, no, Then she said she wondering why I came in so much, I told her life was too short to limit my choices of food to what I was brought up on. I look at it this way, we have to eat to survive and I love to eat and have no problem that I love to do what I have to do. Now if I could just feel that way about exercising. In the mean time I'll continue to try new things, eating out and cooking at home.

Walmart here has the vegetable pasta and the bean/pea pasta. I bought some but haven't made it yet.

I'm so like you! I have a very bland palate. I don't like anything spicy, or hot. I don't like texture..(think cornmeal)...don't use pepper either. I cook, and they add their seasoning at the table. If DH cooks, he sets a portion aside for me before he adds spices. My DH and sons eat everything under the sun! I just like the basics.
