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.

@user_ch53e9c09 I haven't tried it, but at the top of the on the right side is a square with 3 lines in the box. Click on this to open the menu. Select My Account. The first thing on top is where you can enter a picture. Right below that is a box where you can enter some information about yourself. When I click Edit, it shows my user name and it looks like I can change it.

@jakedduck1 Leonard, I don't like my user name at all! @user_ch53e9c09 is awful. When I signed up for Connect I was dumb not to change it to something. I emailed Connect support and asked if they could change it to something, I never received a response back from them, so I guess the answer is no 🙁

Hi,
I have contacted the powers that be many times and they have always replied back to me. @colleenyoung, @lisalucier, @johnbishop, @gailb & @ethanmcconkey have all been very helpful to me. Sometimes when I don’t even ask for help, lol which shows I misbehave occasionally but they are always very nice.
The person you wrote may not have received your message.
Give them another chance. There good kids!

@jakedduck1 How was your grocery delivery? I received a text message saying that Leonard used the coupon! Welcome to Instacart!

I really like the service. We have some minor hic cups occassionally, but then when I went to shopping myself, I'd forget items too, so I don't get mad.

The difference between roast beef and pot roast to me is
pot roast - I cook that in Guiness beer, so its tender and pulls apart, it's an arm or chuck roast
roast beef is other cuts of roast, it is cooked drier (not in beer), and the meat is sliced.

Good Morning,
My shopping experience was great except I got to much frozen stuff. I received an email with the shoppers picture and another email when she was almost here. Same shopper and delivery person.

@user_chdb5e8ac @marvinjsturing There is definitely a way to change it. I know a woman who used to be active on Connect did. Looking forward to seeing a new you with an easier user name. 😉

I watch my order on my laptop Instacart website where I order it from, and I have installed the Instacart app on my smart phone. when I receive the text message on my smartphone that the shopper has started their shopping, I start tracking the shopper using my smartphone app. I receive the emails too.

one of the deliveries, the shopper didn't use the software correctly, and she showed up to the house with my groceries without notice, and then I watched her drive across town on the instacart map and deliver somebody else'ss order! I complained and it never happened again.

I'm glad that you enjoyed your shopping experience, that's important to Instacart they say.

@user_chdb5e8ac How do you know who the shopper is ? Last time I ordered I only found out when James text me but Id like to do same to know who shopper is so I can tell them like how to pick the best fruit

@lioness, how do I know who the shopper is? Instacart works like this:

On the website, Select the store, then select your items, then Place your order
You get a message that the store has received your order (email and text), let's say you chose to have it delivered within 2 hours
Next, a shopper is assigned, you get a message with the name and photo of your shopper, (social media type message)
When the shopper starts shopping for items, I think you receive another message, and as items are shopped I watch my smartphone
At this point, you can text the shopper if you want, or select 'chat' and chat with them
The shopper shops and picks up all of your items
you'll receive another message with the total spent and if there were any adjustments (like item substitutions because of low stock)
your order is paid at the store
you then receive another message, that your delivery is on its way to your house
when the delivery person arrives, I get another message
by then I'm at the door waiting for my order
when I put my order away, I review the service, rate the delivery (1-5 stars) and I can increase the person's tip if I choose to
the tip is a 2nd charge on the credit card registered with Instacart

I had an instance where I didn't receive an item but was charged for them (lemons), I messaged Instacart and was given a credit on my card for the missing lemons. I thought that was nice, no questions, no arguements.

Good luck with the deliveries! I've been using it for about 6 months now, I've learned by trial and error.
