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.

@lioness Cream cheese always sets me up for digestive issues, however, cottage cheese does not. I love to put strawberry jam on toast and then top it off with cottage cheese. It's sort of like a danish (if you close your eyes and have a good imagination).

I don’t know the physics of why but doesn’t it get harder to breath as the humidity gets really high?

@jakeduck
Hot and humid in Florida also with high dew points. You are breathing in more water vapor when the dewponts are high. People,with chronic health problems like COPD will,have difficulty breathing at times. God invented AC so stay indoors and take it easy.

@merpreb
I agree with you about managing the pain. It’s a hard decision to make about relying on pain meds but I think there comes a point in your life , and depending on your age, when it is a necessary evil. Also hard to decide about surgeries. I worked for an orthopedic practice for nearly 20 years and have seen the good and bad about joint replacements and back surgeries and would probably only go that route if pain couldn’t be managed. Difficult to say and there are no guarantees. But quality of life is so important. Food for thought.

Toast recipes, I love them, @merpreb! I've always like cottage cheese on toast with jam, but some of these other varieties of cottage cheese on toast look wonderful. Thanks!

@hopeful33250 - I eat Lactaid cottage cheese. You could also put all sorts of fruit on top too- even grilled fruit.
