    Of course the reality is there is probably as much olive oil in the spray as the amount of real estate I own (none) but it sounds good!

    Isn't the deal that there just isn't much anything in the spray?

    B - Two pieces of whole wheat toast with olive oil margarine.

    S - 20 oz. soy hot chocolate

    L - 2 quesadillas with Daiya cheese, a yellow carrot, vanilla soy yogurt, grapefruit sprinkled with sugar, and a chocolate peanut butter builders bar.

    S - A berry muffin from Caffe Ladro (it's always nice when coffee shops have vegan pastries!).

    D - No chicken noodle soup with two more pieces of whole wheat toast and margarine and I'll probably have some cookies!

    Yep - and it does do the job, the ingredients in order:

    100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    Soy Lecithin
    Propellen
    no chloroflurocarbons

    Still don't understand why it can have no fat or calories, but there you go.

    I just polished off one of Kacie's oat bars made with dried cranberries and walnuts- yummmm! These are going to be a staple in my diet, I can tell.

    Now I'm plotting how to bake at least a dozen at a time....

    Here's why:
    a serving size is a very small amount
    the amount of fat is very small

    and for food labeling, definition of 'fat free' is:
    less than 1/2 gram fat in a serving
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    I didn't know that either.
    So if I use a very small amount of butter, it's fat free butter, no?

    Great; now I want a stir fry.

    For those of you who make stir fries, do you simply saute your veggies and protein or do you add any sauce or broth?
