For Ginny.. because you said I could!


Can anyone tell me why red or yellow peppers cost 1.78 each and green ones .78 each? and of course the red or yellow  taste better to me.

My Snacks are fresh fruit or  peppers, cucumbers, carrots plain or dipped in hummus or
fresh fruit, apples, tangerines, grapes, strawberries


When my Desires for something sweet hit me...

Pineapple chunks, with walnut on top, sprinkle with stevia, broil 3 minutes

 2 spoons of frozen Cool Whip, sugar and fat free. Frozen it tastes like ice cream.
Also good if dropped on top of my coffee.
And thawed it is the perfect dip for a slice of apple or a strawberry.
 My favorite legal sweet is peanut butter candy ( I eat this as my evening meal 300 calories, when I just have to have something good)
1 Tablespoon Peanut Butter, 1 TBLS raw honey, sprinkle of unsweet coconut, raw oats, stir and eat small spoons or make it into a ball. Sometimes I add a few raisins. 



Ginny from Let Your Light Shine said in a comment that she thought I could do a post on groceries if I wanted to. I could. I did.

    Yep, I agree with Ginny. You could make a post about anything. I think I want to try the pineapple, that sounds really good.. I use stevia for my coffee and tea. Even though I know I eat plenty of sugar in all the horrible foods I eat I still prefer the stevia in my hot drinks

    Your healthy eating has been an inspiration to all of us!
    Guess what has helped me? Lower dentures! I think twice about what I eat instead of mindlessly popping food in my mouth!
    I haven’t weighed myself but I will. I think I’ve lost a few pounds!
    I also read that bread greatly aggravates arthritis. Of course, one can’t believe everything one reads.
    I agree - that peanut butter snack sound delicious! I’m going to try it!

    That's a neat twist of ways in which to use Cool Whip!
    I don't do fruit, but enjoy most raw veggies ... and peanut butter is my favorite-est ever. I like putting it in the freezer and lick it slowly like a popsicle.

    I think I need to get more peanut butter to satisfy the sweet tooth.
    It's back to no sugar which means no fruit for me too. that's the hard one.
    I find that the gluten..(flour) does agravate my arthritis a bit too. the pain and stiffness is a red flag that I have indulged...Confession is good for the soul.
