One of my faves right now is cuke slices topped with a simple lemon juice/o oil/garlic/oregano dressing. Find/make some good sauces/dips, and the possibilities w/ veggies are endless. Olives, marinated mushrooms, and other antipasto items are always goos for me.

Had the same problems–getting the paper book very much worth it.

Would definitely buy non-GMO, would be willing to pay more. Thanks for the notice–will email my senators.

Tried them for the first time last week in a shrimp/veg stir fry that we put in lettuce wraps. Nice substantial filling that went well w/ the flavors. We’re planning some other uses for them next week, specifically this:http://www.shibboleth.org/mrs.chiangs/pmwiki.php?n=Main.AntsClimbATree. A favorite I thought I’d never be able t…[Read more]

Didnt get to actually talk to him, just had tests. Rescheduled for next week.

Try cauliflower ”rice” too–chop raw cauli to rice-size pieces in a FP, and stir- fry for a few minutes.
Keep living the good life…

Sorry to hear of this turn! It would drive me nuts not to be able to exercise.

Don’t mean to complain about the 5.4. (was 6.0 in 2011 and had several years of fasting BS readings over 100 before that). But it would have affirming to see a decrease–got to brooding over the weekend whether I was actually healthier after all this time. In many ways, I know, absolutely, and I’m thankful for those.

I try to buy organic when I can, but focus on vegetables that make the “Dirty Dozen” list (google it). If something appears on the “clean 13″, I will buy a conventionally grown item of it. A bit of veggie triage to keep the bills down.

Sorry for your loss.

a huge GT lover.

Actually , when I finished, I felt quite energized and did my usual thurs. strength workout. Feel on the mend today. Seeing doc Monday.

almond flr. crackers, olive tapenade, baba ganouche, and red pepper dip inless than 2.5 hrs. not a bad afternoon’s work.

well played.

I’ve been looking and seen some good ones but wanted to check here too.

Those cakes are the best! I do usually top them with unsw. applesauce or thawed frozen blueberries, but you ’re right that they can stand alone.
