Recipes, Food Tips, Healthy Eating & More

Posted by Debbra Williams, Alumna Mentor @debbraw, Feb 22, 2019

Some of the members of the Gratitude Discussion Group were interested in having a place to share recipes and food ideas. I’m hoping that we can use this thread as a place to have that kind of discussion. I’d love to hear your ideas for quick meals, comfort food, healthy snacks, and more.

Personally, I’ve just been through a bad reaction to one of my medications that left me with a very queasy stomach. I would love to hear ideas – or recipes – that might be used when you need to get something on your stomach, but don’t want to overdo it.

Hopefully, this thread will even be a place where we can share recipes for special treats and yummy rewards. It doesn’t always have to be healthy!

I’d love to hear from members who have been part of other discussions AND from new members who have good ideas, recipes and food tips to share. I’m excited to see who might start us off here with an awesome food suggestion!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Just Want to Talk Support Group.

Enough what?
If I did anything to offend either of you it was certainly not done intentionally.
I hope you will share you concerns with me. I believe I’m entitled to know why your saying those things about me. Simple minded as I may be, I don’t understand? However, I don’t believe I have ever been unkind to either of you and I’m at a loss here. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
I await your responses.
Thank you,
Jake

@jakedduck1 Whining about cooking. Be proactive is all I have been thinking. Mayhap you misunderstood.

I have a garlic question
I use a jar of garlic but what’s the equivalent amount per clove I should use? I probably use more than necessary but but I do like it.

Pertaining to garlic. Always best to start with less. The jar garlic isn’t nearly as potent. I don’t think so. I do like lots of garlic!! It is a personal preference as to how much.

@harriethodgson1 Yes, the combination of flavors (carrots and onions) is just ideal!

Hi @jakedduck1, Isn't there any equivalent info on the jar? Take a look.

Instead of salt, I sprinkle the onions and carrots with a little dried thyme.

Hahaha, oops, I went and checked, no it doesn’t but I should have checked before using it I suppose, lol. That’s something a logical person would do.

Good morning @harriethodgson1. My husband loads carrots into stews, which to me makes things way to sweet. But I love fresh carrots straight out of the garden.
