Recipes, Food Tips, Healthy Eating & More
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!

Thanks for your post Mary. I have three leaking heart valves and am getting ready for surgery. So far, I've lost about nine pounds and have another 10 to go. Cooking from scratch has helped me monitor my salt intake and lose some weight. Besides, I think homemade meals taste better.

Will your surgery involve fixing of all three valves or something else?

2 ReactionsHomemade is always my choice. I enjoy the prep more than the finished dish. The prep takes me longer and I have discovered how relaxing it is without all of the rushing.
I delight in sprouting my own legumes and brown basmati rice. Once it has sprouted I freeze what I do not use and have them for soups and stews when needed. No expensive sprouting items needed. I do mine in my glass 9 x 13 baking dish. I also have some celery and onions starting to root for outside containers this Spring.

4 ReactionsIt is not only young people in my neck of the woods. I know those that frequent the grease and sugar of fast foods. They say it is all they have. I find this sad indeed.
