You don't even have to eat the food to get the dopamine. NO CALORIES

and now the recipe:

My mom used to make a taco casserole. (I use ground turkey)

Taco Casserole 9 x 13 Pan (makes 8 decent size servings)

12 Large Corn tortillas or 15 regular ones

2-3 Cups Grated Cheddar

1 1/2 lbs Ground beef or Turkey

15oz enchilada sauce (from a can)

1 onion Chopped Fine

1 can pitted olives drained

1 can red kidney beans drained

Cook the meat and onion down in a 12" pan to reduce the moisture by 70%. Salt and Pepper to taste

spread a very thin layer of enchilada sauce over the bottom of your pan

1 layer corn tortillas

1/2 the red beans

1/2 the olives

1/2 the cooked meat mixture

1/3 of your remaining sauce

1/3 of the cheese

another layer the same as above

then a last layer of tortillas with the remaining 1/3 of the sauce and the last 1/3 of the cheese.

Bake at 350 for 45 minutes

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
