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.

@contentandwell has some good ideas, @jakedduck1. I've also used "cooking bags" for the oven. Add seasoning, other veggies that you have on hand. They will come out very moist and flavorful. There are cooking directions on the box that will give you cooking temps and times.

@hopeful33250 @jakedduck1 I love cooking bags! Both slow cooker liners or roasting bags- the cleanup is so much easier and what's not to love about that! Besides the fact that things do turn out much more flavorful used in the cooking bag in the oven.

@merpreb I forgot to say I am sprouting more brown basmati rice. Not cooking it until it has sprouted. More nutritious 🙂 Duh, been a long week.

@becsbuddy I agree! I now subscribe to them all and they are very informative. Even if you don't have the problem that is being discussed in the newsletter, you might find some helpful info for someone else you know.
