Deborah, do you like peppers? sweet ones? if you like to snack on them try the bags of little peppers that are at aldi's save a lot, walmart.. etc. They are sweet and crunchy. If you want seeds for the orange Yummi variety PM me and I will send you some fresh seeds to get started. they are fabulous little peppers... not called yummi for nothing. They are my favorite pepper in the garden. I am always sad when there are none left.

Aerial, I first saw this lemon water thing at DietofLife.com. Sounds interesting. Carolyn, thanks but the only way I like peppers is a green one on pizza or a red one sauteed and poured over a chicken breast or a baked potato.

Maybe an old wives' tale, some posters stated lemon + warm water first thing in the morning helped break up and eliminate their kidney stones and pain.
I love lemon in water, it makes plain water palatable. Do watch out for citric acid that might cause enamel erosion, a reusable straw helps. Pretty good advice in the following article. http://wellbodymindheartspirit.com/2...-tooth-enamel/ Apple Cider Vinegar + honey + water is greatly beneficial if you're interested to try. |

Deborah, have you been eating better than your rabbits?
(Oops, I reread your 1st post, you stated that you don't consume whole grains and nuts. Hmm.. sorry if this is no use for you.) Feel better! Here's another trending no-cook breakfast idea. We go through 2 112-oz bags of Organic Bob's Red Mill Steel Cut Quick Oats from Costco every month. Best taste + value hands down. Overnight Oatmeal Ingredients: 1 cup steel cut or old fashioned rolled oats 1 1/2 cups milk, or unsweetened coconut / almond milk Toppings: (any combinations of) sliced bananas, peaches, apricots, raisins, cranberries, frozen berries, chopped pecans, walnuts or almonds, coco nibs, almond butter, etc 1. Fill 1/3 of a mason / glass jar with raw oats, add milk. 2. Cover and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight. The oats soak up the milk and become a creamy, hearty, delicious mass. 3. To serve, scoop oatmeal into a bowl and top with fruits and nuts. Add more milk if desired. oats.jpg Last edited by Aerial; November 24, 2015 at 02:15 PM. |

Oh wow that looks good-I LOVE oatmeal ! Nuts are OK if I have just a few, and by whole grains I meant the whole grain breads-for some reason those are a real uh oh... I used to like Ezekiel bread but after awhile it seemed so cardboardy.

I make the overnight oatmeal in the summer time using kefir instead of milk. It's delish with apple sauce!
In the winter, I soak the oats in water overnight, along with some dehydrated fruits or canned apples/plums from our garden. We then cook them on a low heat for however long it takes. Linda |

I remember my mom making me cream of wheat when I wasn't feeling well. She would leave swirls of butter and brown sugar in it.
