That's quite a harsh thing for your sister to say! I don't blame you one bit for not sharing the LC wol. She's a big girl---she can figure it out on her own when you show up looking fabulous! Regarding food---I would suggest that you check out the recipe corner. There are some incredible ideas there that help broaden the mind. Karen's Corner is great---she is a chef in Vancouver and has some truely gourmet meals that I bet your family won't even guess they're lc. Meat and salad every day does get a bit stale. As far as snacks---I was talking about the homemade kind like stuffed celery with cream cheese, marinated mushroom caps stuffed with sausage and feta cheese (yea!), etc. I am currently addicted to hummus and toasted salami slices.
