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.

As always, @jakedduck1, your opinions are flavorful! Yes, Dr. Pepper would be my ideal way of enjoying caffeine, but it is certainly not the healthiest. I agree, though, that paying a high price for coffee drinks is not my way to indulge in my coffee-habit.

So Teresa, do you actually truly honestly enjoy and savor the flavor of that repugnant substance? Did you really like it the first time you tried it?

well, in an attempt to replay to @jakedduck1 's fun message about coffee drinks, I received this error, I'm not sure if it's a real problem or not

Message: Too few arguments to function wp_async_hub_badge_activity_earned_async(), 2 passed in /var/www/n1.prod-carehubs.net/carehubs-platform/wp-content/plugins/8020-hub-core/components/interactions/actions/extensions/likes/notifications/thread_comment.php on line 24 and exactly 3 expected

so, I'm posting this reply message to the main discussion thread instead to see if it works. I hope we didn't blow up Connect changing my username....

Oh SUPER MEGA YUCK. I will never understand how any half way rational thinking person with even the slightest bit of sanity can actually enjoy that horrid concoction. I went to a couple birthday parties and they served coffee flavored ice cream, talk about cruel and unusual punishment. I haven’t gotten over that yet. I think it gave me Post Traumatic Shock Disorder. My Mother loves the nasty brew, black no less. But she initially used half coffee and half half & half. Either you like something or you don’t. You shouldn’t have to get use to it. NOW, if you want want to enjoy something drink Dr Pepper, yummy.
So no, there are ABSOLUTELY NO coffee drinks that I enjoy. And anyone who pays $6.00 for such a disgusting tasting substance well I don’t know but perplexed I and perplexed I’ll always be.

Hi Erin,
That is a funny error message to have received. Good news is that you didn't blow anything up, but I think you were posting at exactly the same time that your username was being changed as per your request. Your username is no longer a random string of numbers, but a much friendlier @Erinmfs

@jakedduck1 I am so sorry you do not enjoy coffee. I think perhaps you are the wrong nationality. Some of my best memories are of sitting on my Oma's knee and dunking my kuchen, cookie or donut in my heavily laced sugar and cream coffee (made frontier/cowboy style). It was a godsend for me when I became diabetic. It was available at every gathering and virtually carb and calorie free after I dropped the cream and sugar. I still drink it all day every day.

So you must not have liked the coffee if you had to lace it with cream and sugar. Question is, if you hadn’t developed Diabetes would you still be altering its taste? And today do you really enjoy the flavor of black coffee or do you gag it down because of the caffeine?
