A sunbeam or a ray of sunshine, what I try to be and what I try to invite into my life :)

My all-time favourite lunch is a sweet potato with some kind of natural peanut butter topping- sometimes I mix with maple syrup, sometimes cinnamon and apple butter.

I love sweet potato with peanut butter and cinnamon :)

I upped my calorie goal and it made a big difference. I used to just make 1200 calories in a day, now I can barely stop at 1700! Sneaking peanut butter into things is always a delicious way to get those calories :)

OH GOSH YES AN OATMEAL THREAD <3 My favourite is made with water, then I layer on some banana slices, natural peanut butter, flax seeds, and cinnamon, then drizzle maple syrup over the whole thing. It is heaven <3

Here are some of my favourite easy breakfasts: Microwave scrambled eggs with parmesan and salsa :) OATMEAL :) I use a mixed assortment of topping, including: honey, maple syrup, sliced bananas, natural peanut butter, flax seeds, cinnamon, unsweetened apple sauce, apple butter, almonds, walnuts, peanuts (not all at once, I…

Steamed sweet potato, topped with equal parts natural peanut and apple butter :)

I would gorge myself on peanut butter.

Gently crush some mint and infuse it! :D I would definitely try your favourite fruits too :)

Artificial sweeteners :) I was so used to using them in coffee and salad dressing and such.

I don't have a specific job in mind, but a few places of work. Some of the local charities in my area working downtown with the homeless, the addicted, etc. Going to school downtown, I'm surrounded by the poverty and I can see first hand the effects of their work :)

OP, I want to clarify that this post is in no way a personal attack against you. I am also a human, I make mistakes, I say things without thinking, and I judge other people. I am in no way trying to insinuate that I believe you are a bad person for thinking the way you do or expressing your feelings. I used to gossip…

I've heard good things about ginseng as a focus and energy booster, but that's just word of mouth :)
