Tammy-
I created my own recipe based on these:
Mango Sorbet - Allrecipes
Creamy Mango Sorbet - Allrecipes
(Let me know if those links don't work... I just copied and pasted.)

My modified recipe (the 5 point one) is:
4 small mangoes
3 Tbsp lime juice
1 c light cream

I haven't made it yet, though, so I'll let you know how it turns out!

Kelly I just ate one of those for lunch yesterday and I don't really care for them but they were low to 0 carbs and I had a salad with it...no bun of course and I needed some kind of topping on it to wash out that fishy taste so I used horseradish LOL. Anyway my point being to this is that I love fish but these salmon burgs i had were TOO FISHY LOL.

I love making Greek Salad using, red & green peppers, red onion, feta cheese, black olives and Kraft Greek w/ feta & oregano Salad Dressing. I will post some other lunch and snack ideas in my "grocery list post" dont know if you see it yet.

Tammy - thanks for the suggestions on the groceries. The salmon burgers is actually me just cooking salmon fillets and putting them on a whole wheat bun - not a burger type thing I bought. Thanks for the suggestion of salad, but I am serving salad with lots of the other meals, DH doesn't like salad that much, and I think I need something more filling to go with it b/c we will still be hungry (I think I'm a little piglet sometimes)

kelly- great meals, what about some type of rice with the "burgers" and brocolli or asparagus? Or you could make oven baked sweet potatoe fries?
