One great food for keeping you full for a long, long time is white potatoes. Sure, they pack a serious amount of carbs, but a potato in your stomach will satisfy feelings of hunger for longer than just about any other food. Cook them simply, by steaming or baking them, and avoid excess fat.

To start your day with a meal that will keep you feeling satisfied until lunch, opt for a bowl of hot oatmeal. Oats have a number of heart-healthy benefits aside from just being filling. Try your morning oats with chopped nuts for a boost of protein.

Beans are an excellent and affordable way to satisfy your hunger, because they are high in fiber. In addition, they don’t pack a heavy calorie load, and take some time to digest, leaving you satiated for hours. (Polite eaters may want to take a gas remedy before a meal.)

If you’re looking for a filling snack that’s super low in calories, opt for popcorn. It’s exceptionally full of fiber and flavor, and just perfect for between-meal noshing that will keep you going for hours.

Check to make certain that your phone camera settings align with the available light in the room. Usually the flash on a cell phone camera is not very strong, so low-light photographs typically don’t do well. Also consider the shutter speed – don’t expect to capture fast movement clearly with your phone.

A big advantage of digital photography is that you can snap multiple shots without having to worry about using up all your film or memory. Remember, the more images you take, the more likely you are to take a really good one. So, snap away, and delete the ones you don't like later.

Keep your lens clean. With the small size of most cameraphone lenses, it’s very easy for dirt to build up and interfere with your pictures. Give your lens a quick once-over with a soft cloth, and enjoy clearer, brighter images immediately!

Use firm or extra firm tofu
Use firm or extra firm tofu for most recipes, so that it holds-up while cooking. Before cooking, slide and press it for 10-15 minutes with a brick, a stack of books, or a pan filled with water to squeeze out excess water.

Safety first!
Steam raw tofu for 5 minutes to kill any bacteria before adding it to any uncooked dish, like a salad or a sandwich.

Add some flavor
Use spices like ginger, cumin, or curry or marinate in soy sauce or your favorite dressing to add some interest to this mild protein.

Tofu is a chameleon
It can be baked, fried or steamed. Try adding fried tofu to pasta with sautéed veggies and top with pesto and cheese, or serve baked tofu with couscous or rice and a salad for a healthy option. Or enjoy fried tofu on a whole wheat roll with lettuce, tomato, and mayo for a hearty lunch or add steamed tofu to a fresh vegetable stirfry for dinner.

Stir-Fry
This one-dish meal is a great way to bring new life to plain old veggies and chicken. Sauté your chosen ingredients in some cooking oil, and give them an Asian flair with garlic, ginger, and soy sauce. Garnish with chopped scallions and you’re good to go!

Casserole
Casseroles have gotten a bad reputation over the years, but these one-dish dinners were a staple for a reason. Relying on hearty ingredients and rich flavors, casseroles are the ultimate one-dish meal. To make them a bit more nutritious, add in extra veggies and replace some of the cream with chicken broth.

Quiche
Though it can seem complicated, quiche is actually quite simple to prepare, and make for an impressive dinner. Sauté some vegetables, like mushrooms and onions, and add in some cooked chicken sausage. Line a pie dish with a store bought crust and add in your veggies and sausage and sprinkle with some cheese. Mix up some eggs and cream and pour them over top. Bake for 40 minutes at 375 degrees until golden brown on top.

Salad
Don’t roll your eyes! A bountiful salad can be the perfect dinner when you’re looking for a lighter option. Put out an array of toppings – cheeses, meats, olives, nuts, chopped apple, raisins – and let everyone craft their perfect dish!
