Peanut flour
Wondering if anyone has had 'success' by using peanut flour and mixing it with water or almond milk (or any type of liquid) to create a 'peanut butter' type concoction. I was so happy to find PB2 but then after looking at the level of sugar in the product, I don't really want to use this product. Thanks!

Question about glycemic load
Hi Does anyone know the change - or has a site that can explain any G.L. change created when roasting veggies? Anything veggie like (as most of you know who do this) and garlic/onion taste like candy. I realize the natural sugars are caramelized so they are concentrated and sweeter. I know raw and roasted seeds/nuts…

How much do you spend on food during the holidays?
Do you budget for the food you buy for Xmas or just buy whatever without any budget? I usually just buy whatever I will be needing - and just deal with the cost, however I rarely host the x-mas dinner and bring a few dishes only to the party. I might have a change of mind if I had to buy for 20 people though...what about…

How much money do you spend on groceries?
I am finding I spend quite a bit for just myself. However, I think it's an investment to buy quality items in order to try and stay healthy.

My boyfriend thinks I'm a'freak'! Are you a 'freak'???
Ok...sounds a little weird, but I wash EVERYTHING I purchase. I mean, I wash every bottle (lotion; cosmetics, food bottles, etc.,) tea box, can...even the kitty liter container. Doesn't matter what it is...I wash it before it goes into my cupboards. I just imagine all the hands that have touched the product, plus the dust…

Banana 'Ice Cream' Question...
Hi I have yet to make 'ice cream' out of frozen bananas and need to know if one can blend up the frozen bananas, scoop into balls and freeze to use for another day.

Have you ever eaten something that someone...
Have you ever eaten something that someone either made or bought 'just for you' (thinking you'd like it) just to make them 'happy'? (You either do not like the item or don't ever eat a certain food product for 'whatever' reason...) Or did you do different? How did you 'handle' the situation?

MARSHMELLOW 104 Calorie 'cake'
Thought this was worth sharing... It's like eating marshmellows...which I tend to adore...these don't have too many calories...or 'bad' dubious ingredients though... Ingredients you’ll need… Whip up your two pasteurized egg whites: Dissolve gelatine in 125 ml of 'cold' tea; stir and begin to heat (just enough to get warm)…

Calories...wtf???
Ok...I just read (written by a doctor) who commented that 1/2 cup of raw, sunflower seeds were only 100 calories. Lovely.

It's hard to know…

alcohol and appetite
When I have consume something alcoholic...I find it revs up my appetite and I want to eat (even if I wasn't hungry minutes before consuming it). My boyfriend, however, is the exact opposite. When he has a drink, he has no interest in food - he'll not even miss that he didn't eat dinner that night. I guess I'm curious what…

It DOES matter when you eat...
From MY experience anyways...As I know SO many of you (on this site) have said the complete opposite...(I agree that when you eat does not matter to your weight - Eat more calories...gain weight - no matter when you eat them) My experience: I use to have a large breakfast - am snack - smaller lunch - small afternoon snack…
