Funny, I almost bought the same garden birds, Carla. Can't wait to see pics of the rug you made. I am going to be out of my latest batch of starch blaster with lunch today. If I have time to make more tonight I will, but might be falling back on the Forks Over Knives entrees for a few days. Plan for today… B - sweet potato…

Beautiful cards, Bisky. Your black bean soup sounds yum. I tend to avoid black beans other than small doses. If I eat more than a little bit they make me feel sick to my stomach. No other beans do so it's kind of odd. Maybe I should try making my own from dried and see if that makes a difference. New favorite breakfast:…

Well done on the no snacking, Carla. I had a total cheat meal tonight. I went to the grocery after my hair appointment and stocked up on salad greens and veggies, and also bought an Amy's vegan margherita pizza. It was so good, but definitely a very rare indulgence. I threw out what was left so I wouldn't keep eating it.…

Thanks, Carla. I'll give a stir-fry a try after I survive tax season. Excellent start on the treadmill habit. Have a hair appointment this afternoon so I'm working at home until then. After hair I'm going to go buy some new clothes. Tired of feeling frumpy. I wanted to try to get an appointment with a stylist but nothing…

Interesting, Carla. I look forward to trying the frozen tofu. If you don't think it's as good air-fried what do you normally do with it once it has been frozen and thawed? I am making a new batch of starch blaster tonight. My favorite concoction that I've come up with so far is chickpeas, red and green lentils, brown and…

Flowers are beautiful, Bisky. Ladies, sorry I'm not too talkative lately. It's tax season and I have had people off for one thing and another every week this year so far. I am so hopelessly behind I can't even and I need to put in a marathon weekend to finish up getting tax info to the CPA. I hope to get a good start…

Daya, for the most part I eat very simply. When I try to get fancy and/or plan too far ahead then I get off track and fall back on pre-fab food. I make big batches of soups and stews, lately almost exclusively in the instant pot which terrified me for a long time and now I use once or twice a week. The soups and stews…

Yikes, Carla. That's awful the house is still stinky. How are Radar's eyes? I have been having a rough week and got a little off track, some junk food here and there, but for the most part sticking to my starch blasters, veggies and fruit. I am worn out honestly, and that makes me more susceptible to slips in diet. Bisky,…

Hi DayaSunrise, welcome to the group. We are a pretty small group but always happy to have people join. Dr. Essy is one of my favorites too. I'm not 100% all the time myself, the vegan junk food derails me now and then, but I know I feel best when I stick to real food.
-
Oh no, Carla! That is awful. Sometimes when I get wistful about living in the country, you remind me it's not all sunshine and daisies. LOL Made a batch of starch blaster last night but didn't have time for yogurt. I'll start that tonight since I'm not going to the office tomorrow and will be working from home, then lunch…

Hope Brooks has a wonderful retirement celebration, Bisky! Has the fish tank settled down? Carla, I've been thinking about putting in a few tomato and green pepper plants. Not a real garden just a few plants. There really isn't much better than a fresh off the vine tomato from your own yard. I am up a couple pounds after…

Nice stressful day at the office, but got some stuff done. One of my coworkers is on vacation this week and while that means I have to answer the phone things it's okay. It was a beautiful day of sunshine and warmer weather. I hope that's the last of the bitter cold and snow for this year, but I'm guessing there will be at…

Blew off meeting up with friends last night. I was exhausted and grumpy and came straight home. I cleaned up my dining room table where things have been piling up. I have been stocking up on various grains and beans to keep the starch blaster concoctions from getting repetitious and all these things won't fit in the pantry…
-
I really like that painting, Bisky. By the way, I was terrified of the instant pot for a long while. I got it probably 4 years ago and it just sat around gathering dust. I finally decided I was going to learn to use it and get over my fear. I admit the first few times I was nervous now it's just another kitchen appliance.…
-
Can't wait to see the rugs you create, Carla. You and Brooks sure do stay busy, Bisky! I had a TV installed over my fireplace but I didn't want to go the expense and mess of cutting into the wall to put in an outlet because the nearest line was a little ways away. The guy did a really nice job of securing the cord so you…
-
Bisky, I just threw everything in the instant pot and let it cook. I'm a big fan of the instant pot now. Use it a couple times a week to make big batches of soup or starch blaster. Saves so much time and mental energy not thinking about what to make anymore, and I'm wasting a lot less food. Plan for today same as…
-
Sorry to hear you've been feeling lousy, Bisky. Did the doc give you any idea how long these effects might last? I know they can't really say because recovery time is different for each individual but they usually have a general idea. Cute pup pics. I made a potato soup last night that is so good. Just gold potatoes,…
-
I've never tried the Just Egg, Carla. It looks like it has oil though, and I'm being very strict about that again. I want to bring down my cholesterol before the doc makes me go on another medication. Already on one for my blood pressure, and I hope to get off that eventually because it's a very small dose to prevent…
-
Do you have the car out yet, Carla? Sure hope your headaches let up. I listened to Jeff Novick's talk about calorie density and the 50/50 plate the other day. I get bored and distracted watching youtube videos so I've just been listening in the car driving to work and back. Very interesting and gave me some new ideas for…
-
Oh no, sorry about the car, Carla. When is the weather supposed to start warming up? How's your headache? Donna, hope you are recovering well. Savory breakfast ideas... I like to nuke a sweet potato then throw in a bowl with blueberries and some fresh steamed broccoli or maybe a bag of frozen mixed steamed veggies. Savory…

How's the card making going Bisky? I made roasted mini-peppers using the air fryer. I used a liner and did them on roast at 375 and it took about 15 minutes. Now making some "fried" potatoes. I love the air fryer so much that I can't believe I waffled so long about getting one. It's going to be a super busy week so I have…
-
Great lab results, Bisky! Glad you are recovering well. Carla, I have had dogs that could barely be outside before their feet would freeze and they would be falling down so I'd have to carry them in. Some dogs seemed impervious. Been a decent day. Only stayed at the office about 5 hours. I am going to work from home…
-
Carla, hope you are staying warm and safe! I think you would like the starch blaster. While I love Dr. F, I've always found that I need more starches than ETL allows to stick with it. I need those starches for energy and staying full, to keep me from craving the salty snacky. I need to do some chores around the house this…
-
Carla, hope you don't get too much snow. Bisky, the card party looks like fun. So, this will be a long post but you asked. LOL The beauty of the starch blaster is there is no recipe. You can watch the demo here:…
-
Thought I'd wander in and say hi. Sorry haven't been around I was just feeling kind of sad about things and needed a break. I wrote a whole post and it disappeared. Figures. No time to recreate the whole thing I need to get moving and get to the office, but in a nutshell still grooving on the starch blaster idea from Well…

Made it through today. I got up late so didn't get in until after 10:00 and stayed until almost 6:00. I need to get there on time tomorrow because we have clients scheduled all day. Going to eat a piece of ezekiel toast and get to bed. I feel marginally better now but wish I could stay home in bed tomorrow. Nanc, maybe a…

Hi all, only stayed at the office about 6 hours today but we covered all our critical due dates. I'm pretty miserable with this cold. Tested and not covid. I am going to eat something, drink a hot toddy, and head to bed for a while. Nice to have good quality bourbon leftover from the party earlier this year. LOL Food today…
-
Hi all, quick check in. Went to the office for about 7 hours today. I have a miserable cold or maybe it's just sinus/allergy crud. Laundry is in the dryer and I'm throwing together a simple soup of veggies, broth and miso then heading to bed. Have to go back in tomorrow no matter how I feel so I want to feel better. Did a…

Glad you had a nice Christmas with Miss Lulu, Nanc. Carla, I am coming up with all kinds of concoctions in the air fryer. So fun to have "fried" foods again done in a jiffy and no oil at all. I need to get over my fear of the instant pot so I can throw soups and stews together more quickly. I'm making black eyed peas with…
