purtygal rated and reviewed the recipe Hamburger Hash Skillet Supper

"Made this dish a lot when my family was young....got it from my mom, who never used a recipe! Added mushrooms, and a little more onion. Didn't use cream, tho', and if there were leftovers, mixed scrambled eggs for a morning breakfast!! Wonderful dish!"

"Try using LEAN ground beef in place of recommended meat! I used fat free cream of mushroom soup, along with the rest of the recipe! OMG...cut's the calorie content, and you can have MORE!! The slow cooker is my favorite appliance!"

purtygal replied to the topic Re: Pizza Night - How often do you eat pizza?

"Being alone, I usually have pizza when my family and I get together. As dieters, we have pizza very seldom, definately not more than one time in a month."
