I feel that way sometimes too. Try posting to your news feed every day and responding to your mfp friends who do likewise. It will keep you accountable in a smaller world. :wink:

Grrr! Came home from a most enjoyable afternoon running pre-trip errands to find our water well out again! I REFUSE to have a bad day :flowerforyou:

:love: Thank you Barbie for posting the link to the new thread on last months. Some would say finding you was a piece of cake :wink: But since most of us no longer eat cake, I can't think of a proper idiom... Been there done that, sorta... Our son turned his back on a chance to go the Air Force Academy for a Russian…

Most over the counter vitamin brands, regardless of price, are synthetic and contain impurities or additives. Even 'health food' stores sometimes stock shelves with high-priced yet synthetic products. Most people don't realize that your body can only absorb so much of things at a time and disposes of the rest. Another…

:glasses: I say any woman who doesn't think Harmon is a cutie needs glasses! :love: Davy Jones was my first celebrity crush. I too was saddened to read of his passing. He was only 66. AND You never get too old to look or appreciate hunkie guys. I remember once I was sitting with my Moma in her dr's waiting room when she…

Nancy, you MADE my day! No one has called me gorgeous in years :wink: I've been avoiding anything with sugar, additives, preservatives, or otherwise artificial anything ~ so deli meat is out. Love your sense of humor! I started a new thread on the food board asking for CLEAN eating travel tips and the comediennes at mfp…

Found a recipe online for a clean healthy version of Rice Krispy Treats made with puffed brown rice, which I can buy at Walmart: http://weelicious.com/2009/07/19/brown-rice-crisp-wee-treats/

:drinker: Keep the recipes and ideas coming!

Most bread and lunch meats are not clean so I won't be doing sandwiches... I can think of plenty of things to leave home with. Just stressing about what to do when that supply runs out and I don't have a kitchen to cook in...

I am suspicious of anything that has the word isolate in the ingredients. Isolate = highly refined whatever I make my own granola bars and oatmeal muffins instead.

:laugh: Ron, I don't think I can EAT those! :wink:

I'll have to check out that book. Thanks!

I don't do anything artificial or highly processed so most anything shelf stable is out. THAT is my challenge.

I take a raw whole food vitamin by Garden of Life called Vitamin Code for Women. You can order it online or find them at a good health food store.

I'm entering crunch week at my house. Last week I got new tires, this week my first ever gps arrived so I need to become familiar with it. Next week I will get the car detailed and start packing. I leave next Thursday for a 3 wk long road trip driving myself, my Mother-in-law and her sister to Virginia and back for my…

Clicking on the number under anyone's profile picture takes you to ALL of their posts ever on any MFP thread, from most recent to oldest. We had a very productive weekend working on our kitchen garden spot. We got a fence up to keep Sophie out of the melons. (Last year she got them all before they had even had a chance to…

You are welcome. Look to the left where my profile photo is. Click on the number after Posts beside any entry you see from me and it will take you to a list of everything I posted. You should be able to easily scan them to find the recipe.

SEVEN REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD EAT BEANS EVERY DAY 1. Beans can hep you lose weight - Beans are low in polyunsaturated fat and are cholesterol-free. Beans take longer to digest and are filling so you eat less. They also reduce the amount of insulin released, so the body stores less fat. A recent study released under the…

Happy Saturday all. Enjoy reading the grandchildren stories. :love: BEANS: The new ones I bought were called Anasazi. Our favorite will always be pintos, but I also make navy beans, black beans and black-eyed peas the same way. I used to buy reduced sodium canned beans until I learned that they are loaded with artificial…

:glasses: Its shaping up to be another sunny day so I will be out working in the yard again this morning before the wind has a chance to get up. Blowing dirt is the norm for West Texas in the Springtime. Some days all I have to do to get a free micro-derm abrasion is step outdoors. :tongue: YESTERDAY was a busy, but…

Heading out to get a new set of tires and other not so fun errands. I'm wearing my Shape ups so I can do some walking while they work on my tires and packing a goodie bag so I'm not tempted to grab fast food at lunch time. My scale hasn't moved in weeks, but my clothes are fitting looser and looser, and my energy level is…

I won't plant until the daffodils bloom, which is a week or two away... but I've been getting my beds READY for onions, sweet potatoes, garlic, carrots, beets, broccoli and lettuce. Grape vines and fruit trees should arrive in early March but I won't get a crop out of them for a year or two... The bulk of my veggies won't…

Try making your own broth and freezing it. Also eating 1/2 an avocado every day helps bunches. My cupboards and freezer are pretty bare so heading out today in search of some REAL food. I have to drive to the nearest big town to do that... Got my pot of beans cooking :drinker:

Happy President's Day all :flowerforyou: Got outside this morning and worked some on my raised beds. Looking forward to planting root crops in a few weeks. Also got caught up on laundry and spent quite a bit of time online searching for new "clean" recipes. Went to the Chinese buffet with friends yesterday so am having a…

Well I don't know WHY the recipe link didn't work :blushing: So here's the recipe: SUZY'Q's CHOCOLATE MERINGUES 4 room temperature egg whites 4 Tablespoons cocoa powder 1 cup powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar NOTE: This recipe can be easily enlarged or reduced. Just remember for every…

Oh my! I have tried a new chocolate recipe yesterday and I think it is now my favorite treat: chocolate meringues :happy: Tastes like the brownies at the edge of the pan! Super duper easy to make and only 21 calories per cookie. :noway: You read that right! Only 21 calories each :love: Really good with berries for a…

Ditto. The main reason I like the idea of a group. I wouldn't have to look for the thread every month. Please be sure to post the link here if you do, so all interested can find it!

My name is Susan and I'm a full time homemaker from West Texas. I've been married to my high school sweetheart for 34 years and counting. I was underweight until my mid-30's. The last few years of my forties were one major life change after another including a hysterectomy, the death of both my parents and a major move. I…
