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.

Hamburger, that’s a good 💡 idea Linda. I should try a hamburger first and graduate to steak. I’ll try that in my phase 2 trial.
Thanks,

Mussels in wine sauce soaked up with good bread and a white wine to drink ....that’s a dinner. Not so much shrimp or lobster now but I like clams and all kinds of sushi. Used to go claming in Long Island where we lived. Picked up clams with our toes ...clams on the half shell....sautéed oysters.....hmmm ...
Had raw conch once in the Bahamas....that was ugh! Smoked eel....so good..... betcha Jake just passed out lol.

@jakeduck

Don’t try it with hamburger meat...it’s got too much grease...and not enough “body” unless you get a preformed one.....
You’ll need a hazmat suit.

I have to stop reading this thread. I’m sick as dog. Ready to heave any second and the seafood is gonna finish me off. My back hurts so bad. I way over did on Percocet, Norco and Advil. Anyone know how to ease low back pain, short of poison?

Hi @Erinmfs Erin - I'm with @imallears - fresh is so much better than frozen you'll want that in the future. However, if you have frozen shrimp, thaw as she suggested. It won't take long. Then, I would heat some olive oil/canola oil mix then add the shrimp. Season with some garlic powder and a little sea salt. Cook no more than 2-3 minutes per side. It doesn't take long and if you cook too long they will get a rubbery texture. Good luck. Keep us posted.
