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 ok, I’d mortgage my house to keep out of the kitchen.

“Try quiche—makes lots of leftover meals.😁”
Sure, who wants to eat it? Ick!!!!!
I’ll have the asparagus and spinach though.
Hope you found something, I know the feelings desperation.
Send hubby for burgers or a pizza or chicken or fish at one of those yucky fish places if you like such stuff or to the deli or a sandwich place.
What did you end up with?
My A/C is busted. Been on all day and it’s 82 in here. Suppose to be 107 tomorrow. Anyone want a house guest?

2 ReactionsI would miss doing the labor myself. I can see where for some these would be convenient. I may one day be there.

Hello,
There are 3 homes for sale in my subdivision but they are too large for one person. We built our home here on the last available piece of property 14 years ago. I had my house built behind the garage across the breezeway from my daughter, son in law and 2 of my grandchildren. My daughter is a Nurse Practitioner and son in law a sheriffs dept captain. My daughter is essentially my doctor, has her own practice and I do work for her at home. It’s an ideal situation for someone my age and I know how lucky I am to have the family I do. My son and daughter in law , 2 grandsons live near Orlando and my daughter’s son moved there about a month ago. It’s about 2.5 hr drive. Katie, her daughter will be attending school in NJ in a few weeks. I will miss her....been with them since she was born and daughter was in grad school.
You asked ...so what I had at the Japanese restaurant was salmon, sushi rice, and a mashed dish that I still don’t know what it was but it was great. Some miso soup and a house salad with carrots and ginger dressing. The thing about the salmon was , I have never been asked if I want it medium or rare. This is cooked salmon which I have only ordered at other type restaurants. I went with the medium, for all of you who love salmon, and it was spectacular. I would hesitate to cook it that way myself it I highly recommend it that way. I sampled the sushi my grandson had...top notch and the noddle bowl my other grandson had...again speculated.
Going back over to Orlando again tonight for the weekend and we are eating at a local Italian restaurant tomorrow.
I will regale you with what you are missing.
We have Sprouts and Trader Joe’s here too (TJ not near me though). I buy my veggies and bulk items at Sprouts cuz they’re cheaper, fresher and they have more organic produce. Publix is the best supermarket in FL....it’s a pleasure to shop there and you can get InstaCart.....shop online and have delivered to home...a fee of course.
Raining so much here lately but it has cooled things down. See some fish floating in the water...may go catch one...😏
Regards from Rainy FL Mary

Salmon huh, well that’s ok. I thought it was going to be some unthinkable creepy crawly thing. I’ve only had salmon once, it was smoked. Don’t really care to have it again. Not sure why I’m such an odd ball, virtually everyone likes some kind of fish or seafood. I’ve tried lobster, crab, prawn, not intentionally (lousy flatfoot) that white fish without much taste, sold maybe??? Tuna I like and calamari, oops I tried calamari but don’t care for it. My friend said the lobster wasn’t cooked right, tasted like rubber or at least that consistency. At least you can’t get anything to weird at an Italian restaurant, at least I never saw any bazaar things on the menu.
A nurse practitioner here ordered a lethal dose of Phenobarbital for me and got angry when I questioned her. She never did choke up an apology. Do you like kimchi? I think it’s pickled cabbage, I love it. How about Takuan? Made from Japanese radishes, scrumptious. Some people call it Daikon, that’s the radish. Try it next time you go. Sprouts is kinda pricy here. I never buy organic anything.
It feels so wonderfully cool in here, only 104 but will probably climb.
Take care,
Me
@jakedduck1 His [funny to him] comment this afternoon was he married me so he could blame me for wandering around Disneyland alone, unsupervised. He has an annual pass, I won't go because I cannot handle crowds of more than 5 people. He goes for several hours, drinks a few beers, eats all kinds of things he shouldn't, puts in about 10K steps, then complains the next day his legs are sore. He goes a couple times a month.
