Sorry to say, but this site has been so depressing for a few days. I thought I'd ask an average, everyday question....to make us all feel a little more normal today.
I made Eggplant Lasagna, and my BIL and SIL are coming for dinner. They leave for Cali tomorrow to see their beautiful grand daughter.
Sorry, sometimes we just need some REGULAR conversation.......or at least THIS caregiver does.
I don't normally drink much of anything besides water, coffee with a little half and half. I eat plenty of calcium things, and eating never effects me.
I've spent much if this year finding out what was causing my IBS- D with cramps and also sinus headaches. Think I have most of it nailed now. Fortunately I am OK with almond milk. I also like hazelnut milk but can't get it everywhere. Coconut milk works for me too.
Would lactaid or lactose free milk help you? Dd has to use it.
So this morning I tried almond milk and PB2, tasted good 👍, but I found out, I can't drink almond milk either 🫤, same cramps as with Mike, I googled it and it is definitely a thing to people sensitive to almonds.
I've taken to eating straight nuts - pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts etc as well as straight peanuts. They seem to satisfy me better. and have decent amount of fiber and lots of nutrients.
Soaking some lentils to make a Moroccan beef lentil soup. I can't get enough soup these days.
I'm looking forward to getting some celery and trying it on that, next.
You can also buy it with out the coco powder, but why would you. 😆 I found it near the olive oil in my grocery store
I'm trying to break my addiction to cheese, for my cholesterol. I'll be busy and don't want to stop to eat so I grab a slice of cheese, also I get tired of counteracting the cheese with extra fiber.
Hopefully it's a healthier alternative, or I changed one bad habit for another one.
And luckily this stuff wouldnt taste good on my cheese, or I'd be eating PB2 on top of cheese. 😂
Looking for more alternatives for protein that is not from cheese. ( I love cheese)
So I sprinkled it on a cut up banana yesterday, gotta tell you it was actually delicious. Then I sprinkled it on a small dish of chocolate ice cream, omg that was awesome.
So far I give it a 👍. Going to get some almond milk today , try smoothies.
Made coconut chicken veg soup for me last night and just had some this morning. Soup is my comfort food. R got curried chicken, and carrot/cabbage fritters last night, I've found a few more things that are contributing to the sinus headaches. Been free of them for a few days now.
Going to clean out my "baking cupboard" and organize it better. Maybe I'll bake more then! R is still working on the last batch of PB cookies. He puts them with yogurt in his smoothie and says it tastes like cookies and cream.
Love thin soups - lots of tasty broth. R likes soup so thick it is almost a stew - throw everything into it.
1 can regular corn, I can cream corn, 2 eggs, lots of crushed crackers, evaporated milk, and sharp cheese.
More crackers and cheese and butter with paprika.
It was absolutely delicious.
cwillie, how do you prepare your corn on the cob? I had always done it in a pot on the stove like mom and GM until my SIL told me how to do it in the microwave. So much faster and easier - Yay for technology but I felt so dumb!
This was my first, and I gotta tell ya it was delicious
I spent a lot of time yesterday baking with GD and then half of this morning cleaning up! Cooking with kids is fun but messy and uses twice the usual number of dishes.
Turkey necks and sauerkraut here. It's so easy and smells good!
😋
Peasuep, when I was a kid I called soup pointless. I still get confused why so many people love soup. Maybe when I grow up I'll like it 😆
Anyways, my hubby needs to thank you, you were talking about desert, and I was thinking of things you could make, then I got a craving and made apple crisp.
Muchly enjoy your company!
I'm thinking the spicy chicken mole soup must be very good. Have a great visit.
Nacy, I gave my kids Pedialyte and it did seem to help. When they finally asked for peanut butter on toast I knew they were on the mend.
I hope you’re both back to your peppy selves soon!
