Yes, veggie broth is like chicken broth, except that instead of being made out of chickens, it's made out of veggies. Use low-sodium, defatted chix broth if you can't find veggie.

RE: the veggies -- Yes, get the plain bags of frozen veggies -- I like Bird's Eye as I like their combinations.

Hoisin sauce has sugar in it -- so only use a tad -- it's spicy/sweet, but not overly spicy. The Oriental section of your grocery store should have some stir-fry sauces -- check the labels.

I am but a mouse-click away..... Pick away...

Oh & I've read that you need to introduce, then re-introduce the same food 7 times, I think, before kids will try it....believe me, they won't starve to death.

I have never seen veggie broth, pretty sure we don't have it in our reg. grocery stores.

meal 1: 1 egg/1white scrambled w/ mustard
1/2 c. oats 1/4 c. blueberries, splenda, water
meal 2: ate some animal crackers "eek!" cuz i went tooo long w/out eating, then had can albacore, 1 tbs lite mayo,mustard, 3 triscuit lowfat, 4 wheat ritz
The taste of sugar really screwed me over, ate 1 chips ahoy...and a fudge round.
meal 3: salmon quesadilla, s/f tang
feeling really fat and bloated, and yes i know...i deserve it

I don't know how close you are to Indianapolis, but there are Trader Joe's stores there. If you're close -- check with them. (their website is www.traderjoes.com)

Otherwise, low sodium/defatted chix broth is fine.

Chicken salad: Mix X amount of chopped chicken with 1 tblsp FF mayo, touch of Apple Cider Vinegar or broth, minced veggies (scallion, celery, onion, bell pepper, tomatoes) & if you need more of a creamy texture, add 1/2 tblsp of plain yogurt or FF sour cream. Spoon onto tortilla lined with lettuce/spinach.
