Hey 40's people!!!!!

@Doddysh

Hi, thank you for your response. I will continue to browse around and try and see where I fit. I know i'm 40 so I will stick around here as homebase...lol

There are some threads I upvote instead of a comment since I may not have too much experience in that area and I don't want to risk sounding offensive or something.

I just made some non-dairy hot cocoa. Not too shabby. My 2 boys and I are trying to eat healthier. Taking it up a notch with the ital/vegan diet. It has been about a month now and I haven't missed meat products at all. My daughter refuses to eat that kind of diet. So I allow her to choose.

I Always enjoy a good recipe if you or anyone that reads this would like to talk about some food? or pick a topic. I may be away at times from the app however, I will always respond back as soon as I can. Have a terrific day!

Thank you.

The holiday's are the most challenging times! Food wise. Good for you to try it out. I'm glad there is some improvement. By the way, I heard dark chocolate can potentially lower bp... you were on the right track all along. lol

I have an autoimmune disorder that affects my joints at times. I started to notice I felt better when I ate next to nothing. That's obviously not ok with me since I enjoy eating. Changing it up to healthy eating. Lots of veggies, beans, etc gives me more food to eat and I feel better so it's a win-win for me. I have noticed it takes me a bit more time to prepare foods the vegan type of way. I made vegan burgers yesterday and if I didn't have the other components like lettuce, onion, tomato, vegan mayo etc, it would be very unappealing to eat and that's not good.

It would be easier if my daughter would change to vegan. I understand. Like you mentioned, it was my decision too. I'd have been pretty upset if my dad had made us eat vegan outta nowhere. lol

Thank you and yes, feel free to chat anytime.
