Any donation is greatly appreciated and goes to a great cause. so if it is $1 or $5 or for some $100 would not be a stretch but all go for a great reason. Obesity is a problem and with the help of Walk From Obesity more people like me will receive help and information greatly needed. So thank you. 

Here a a couple good recipes and at a easy level of cook all should be able to do them. Remember my number one rule: Make a recipe your own. As long as you do not delete the base ingredients you can pretty much play with any recipe. take out or add meat, more veggies, nuts. what ever. just take in account the fluid increase such at juice and fat. here we go!
