Crockpot Spaghetti
Today I got a bit inventive with my crockpot spaghetti. Used Italian seasoned turkey rather than hamburger. In addition to mushrooms and onions I added zuchinni & bannana squash as well as brocoli "slaw". Added my normal lentils but am also cooking barilla "plus" multigrain noodles. Instead of my normal Ragu I am trying…

Feeling sick & feeling guilty

gripe
Yes. This is a gripe post. I feel like crap. Throat on fire and achey. Blah blah blah. Dr rx'd sleep and fluids. Great, esp since all I want is sleep. Problem? I can't sleep.

Passion Fruit Flower Extract
A few weeks ago I heard about passion flower fruit powder/extract on Dr Oz. Supposedly it promotes sleep. My fiance and I both have the worst sleep issues. I was on ambien but after a few too many nights walking around the house in zombie mode and freaking out said fiance, I'm done with it. Was wondering if any one has…

Do any of you happen to suffer from depression? Normally on days off, when my mind has time to itself I tend to get blue. Nothing major. And granted, I haven't been remotely suicidal in years!

greek yougurt and fruit
Normally for breakfast or my morning snack I endulge in some plain greek yogurt with a cup of fresh fruit. Well, money is tight this week so was thinking of buying the greek yogurt with fruit already in it. I know that fresh fruit is better for you but am hoping, for one week that prepackaged is ok. Any thoughts?
