Ahh, that's a serious allergy, Ana. Mine are painful and a nuisance but not lethal (so far).

Had some soup and it was good but needs more time to "blend". I usually start my soups earlier in the day to give them time for the flavours to come together. It will be great today. Already thinking about what soup I will make next.

I lost the will to cook. We went to town for panzerotti.
We’re a nut-free home. Me + nuts = death.

Sounds excellent - especially the brownies!

Moroccan lentil beef soup worked well. R said he could smell it out on the hallway. I've tasted it so much I don't want to eat any now,

I cooked, creamy cheesy, chicken, bowtie pasta , with spinach. It was amazing 🤩, and got enough for tomorrow, and a plate of brownies 😁.

Golden , yes I'm lucky with that.

Worth trying, nacy. Also coconut milk seems pretty harmless. Glad nothing you eat affects you that way.

Golden Actually lactaid milk is a very good idea, I will try that next. I was just shocked.

I don't normally drink much of anything besides water, coffee with a little half and half. I eat plenty of calcium things, and eating never effects me.

Nacy - Sorry to hear about your reaction to almonds. No fun.

I've spent much if this year finding out what was causing my IBS- D with cramps and also sinus headaches. Think I have most of it nailed now. Fortunately I am OK with almond milk. I also like hazelnut milk but can't get it everywhere. Coconut milk works for me too.

Would lactaid or lactose free milk help you? Dd has to use it.

Golden, yeah boys are good and satisfying.

So this morning I tried almond milk and PB2, tasted good 👍, but I found out, I can't drink almond milk either 🫤, same cramps as with Mike, I googled it and it is definitely a thing to people sensitive to almonds.

PB2 sounds good! Especially with cocoa powder.

I've taken to eating straight nuts - pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts etc as well as straight peanuts. They seem to satisfy me better. and have decent amount of fiber and lots of nutrients.

Soaking some lentils to make a Moroccan beef lentil soup. I can't get enough soup these days.

Cmom, PB2 is a peanut butter and coco protein powder that actually doesn't sound like it would be good, but it delicious.

I'm looking forward to getting some celery and trying it on that, next.

You can also buy it with out the coco powder, but why would you. 😆 I found it near the olive oil in my grocery store

Peasuep, this stuff is so good. I'm like how did I get though life without it. 😂.

I'm trying to break my addiction to cheese, for my cholesterol. I'll be busy and don't want to stop to eat so I grab a slice of cheese, also I get tired of counteracting the cheese with extra fiber.

Hopefully it's a healthier alternative, or I changed one bad habit for another one.

And luckily this stuff wouldnt taste good on my cheese, or I'd be eating PB2 on top of cheese. 😂

Nacy, I tried the PB2 years ago when DH was recovering from surgery. I used it for frozen chocolate banana smoothies to get him some extra calories and protein. It was so good…too good.

Golden, I bought the PB2 , with peanut and coco powder.

Looking for more alternatives for protein that is not from cheese. ( I love cheese)

So I sprinkled it on a cut up banana yesterday, gotta tell you it was actually delicious. Then I sprinkled it on a small dish of chocolate ice cream, omg that was awesome.

So far I give it a 👍. Going to get some almond milk today , try smoothies.

nacy -have seen it but never used it. I have used Fatso - maple flavoured.

Made coconut chicken veg soup for me last night and just had some this morning. Soup is my comfort food. R got curried chicken, and carrot/cabbage fritters last night, I've found a few more things that are contributing to the sinus headaches. Been free of them for a few days now.

Going to clean out my "baking cupboard" and organize it better. Maybe I'll bake more then! R is still working on the last batch of PB cookies. He puts them with yogurt in his smoothie and says it tastes like cookies and cream.

I love soup!! But I like it thick as well, hubs likes it thin. The only thin soup I like without adding saltines is cream of tomato,, I love to sip it from a mug! I love chili as well.

Corn on the cob - I have done it in the microwave now for years. Love corn. Popcorn is a fave snack too.

Love thin soups - lots of tasty broth. R likes soup so thick it is almost a stew - throw everything into it.

Similar to corn pudding, but less pudding like. Lol

1 can regular corn, I can cream corn, 2 eggs, lots of crushed crackers, evaporated milk, and sharp cheese.

More crackers and cheese and butter with paprika.

It was absolutely delicious.

I still like my corn boiled in a pot better than any other method, but then when I'm having corn I'm having at least 3 cobs 🌽🌽🌽.....🌽

Yes Nacy. Scalloped corn, creamed corn, corn pudding made with corn meal, corn fritters, fresh corn on the cob - all staples on a farm table depending on the time of year. All delicious!

cwillie, how do you prepare your corn on the cob? I had always done it in a pot on the stove like mom and GM until my SIL told me how to do it in the microwave. So much faster and easier - Yay for technology but I felt so dumb!

You mean something similar to corn pudding Anxietynacy?.... I've made that before. Some people in my family have to have creamed corn they can spoon over their mashed potatoes so that's the way I usually serve it, but I'd rather eat my corn on the cob.

Hey all you cookers, have you ever made scalloped corn before?

This was my first, and I gotta tell ya it was delicious

BTW Nacy, my DD said the same thing about soup that you did! And you know what? I think I agree! With the exception of a few thick, hearty soups like split pea with ham or clam chowder or potato, they are a lot of time and work but not ever quite as satisfying as I thought they would be.

Peasuep, I'm sure it was bittersweet, great to be with them, but glad when they are gone. you have so much going on , next time it might be best to order food. You have to start doing what is easiest for you now, you have enough on your plate!

Who knows?! I’d really like the evening off.
I spent a lot of time yesterday baking with GD and then half of this morning cleaning up! Cooking with kids is fun but messy and uses twice the usual number of dishes.

Turkey necks and sauerkraut here. It's so easy and smells good!

Yeah, I started drinking Gatorade aid yesterday, and today , much more energy.

Peasuep, when I was a kid I called soup pointless. I still get confused why so many people love soup. Maybe when I grow up I'll like it 😆

Anyways, my hubby needs to thank you, you were talking about desert, and I was thinking of things you could make, then I got a craving and made apple crisp.

Muchly enjoy your company!

nacy, psue - nausea gone thankfully. I put electrolytes in my drinking water always. Crackers and toast are good. Trouble is with CFS/FM it's hard to know when the flu is over and the regular CFS/FM and allergies are back/still in operation. They feel somewhat the same. Nausea can be due to the CFS/FM.

I'm thinking the spicy chicken mole soup must be very good. Have a great visit.
