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!

That’s a joke right? See , you are funny. And we all know you know there are tomatoes so small you don’t have to slice them.
Tiny tomatoes...yup....

No, wasn’t a joke. I’m not a big tomato fan but okay on burgers (As long as I don’t have to um) and I’ll eat them on salads but not a whole cherry one at once. I like to enhance the flavor of each bite and not be the overwhelming force. Call me crazy but I like lettuce with my salad. But I’ll try it. I like everything imaginable in a salad. Lettuce, carrots, celery, spinach, onions, nuts, seeds, beans, broccoli, cauliflower, jicama, berries, asparagus tips, red cabbage, bits of tomatoes, kale, pickled beets, bell peppers etc. but it’s a nightmare to make with all those ingredients so it rarely gets made. The agony of cooking. What’s a guy to do, short of getting married???

3 Reactions@jakedduck1 Hire a chopper! I would gladly chop all your salad ingredients if I lived close enough to you. Chopping has become my favorite part of cooking.

We women love you on this site. Throwing a salad together is NOT COOKING! Buy your veggies precut or make a giant bowl to last a few days. Aiy yi yi you’d drive a person nuts . Think of all the leftover steak and chicken you could have over a salad for dinner. Now you’re going to tell me you never have leftover steak or chicken. I like to add hard boiled eggs, avacado, any kind of nuts or berries or tuna and salmon out of can....garbanzo beans...any veggie like you do, chia and flaxseed , what ever. Did you know that the word salad means different things in different cultures or the term is used as slang? You’ll have to look that up if you’re not to busy cooking.
Get a nice stool so you can sit down while you are creating your culinary masterpiece. Chop chop.

Hi there Mary,
Loved?, you sweeet thing. I feel so honored. Left over steak, nope never!! Chicken, not exactly left over but could use some for a salad if I was courageous enough to fix one. As far as not cooking is concerned, semantics, okay so I’m not a linguistics expert. An informal definition of cooking is “to be in an inescapably bad situation.” The best definition of cooking I’ve ever heard of!!! Okay you “Make” a salad, it’s still one of those vile 4 letters words that just happens to be done in a kitchen, which is nothing more than a modern day dungeon or torture chamber.
I was out of everything today. Not 1 of any of the 5 food groups, no cookies, cakes, pies, candy or pastry. I didn’t know what to eat for lunch but remembered my brother brought over a lemon meringue pie yesterday, problem solved. I bit the bullet and went to the store. Almost as bad as cooking!!

Your goose is cooked
Now you’re cooking
He cooked the books
Seriously now. I don’t know your circumstances but have you ever considered an independent facility that has dining room accommodations. My much younger friend has CP and moved last summer into a lovely facility. Her apartment, equipped with that dungeon you spoke of, is lovely. She has 3 meals daily seven days a week and, if you are ill, they will deliver up to your apartment at no extra charge. Snacks are always available when the dining room is closed. Of course you have to eat at their designated hours. These places are not cheap though. Nice small gym, pool, activities etc. Free rides to Drs appointments on certain days.....weekly excursion to Publix...that sort of thing.
Not for everyone either....kind of a restricted environment unless you have a car but , in my friends case, she could no longer work and stay in her home. She misses her old area but is adapting. She also has hearing loss and doesn’t participate in many activities but this is the best place for her now.
Anyway gotta get cooking here....
FL Mary
