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!

This is my 22nd year in the caregiving trenches. My mother had vascular dementia and I was her caregiver for 9 years. My daughter, the mother of my twin grandchildren, died from the injuries she received in a car crash. The twins' father died from the injuries he received in a second crash. The court appointed my husband and me as the twins' guardians/caregivers. In 2013 my husband's aorta dissected. He had three emergency operations and during the last one suffered a spinal cord injury. I've been his primary caregiver since then. These experiences led to a series of books for family caregivers. On Sept. 1, 2020 my 37th book, The Grandma Force, will be released.

Was your husbands dissection a result of Marfan syndrome by chance. His Guardian Angel was with him, not many survive dissections. Can you elaborate on his spinal cord injury. My Dad was a Complete C5 Quadriplegic.

No, he had a weak aorta and Mayo Clinic replaced a section with a Dacron descending aorta. In 2013 the connection between the Dacron and his real aorta failed.

Do you have back issues now because of the fracture. You were lucky, lucky there was no cord involvement I mean.
Take care,
Jake

Hi @ktracyf - Welcome to this Group. Really, it's just a lot of people dealing with different issues - and some/many who are just excited to share recipes and get new ideas. So I'm very glad you came over to the group. I love your idea of the top round roast in the crockpot. I love anything I can do in the crockpot because its so easy! I'll have to try it. Can Gastroparesis be cured or do you just have to manage your diet? I like Merry's idea pointing your to the Digestive Health Group. But stay here too, so you can share more good recipes!

Also @merpreb - I'm making your veggie soup as we "speak". My husband is excited about it. Stay tuned for a report! Thanks for sharing.

Good morning everyone. I have been looking into turmeric recently and want to share a video with a recipe and then another recipe. A lot of doctors swear by this spice of having healing, anti-inflammatory effects, and others.

I made it! The pepper makes it spicy, but not too spicy. No smoke coming out of anywhere. It's actually good! I'm going to try and have a cup everyday.
