We were very, very poor when I was growing up, and sometimes we literally had no food. Both my older sister and I dreamed of growing up so we could have food, all the food we wanted, all the types and kinds of foods we liked.<br />So coming into this new place means letting go of those long-held dreams that represented safety, care, even hallmarks of adulthood. Those aspirations that no longer serve me. Still, many tears.Angela Urseryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08854119040826805061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1290706831405437475.post-2575581223798124722011-07-16T22:33:18.657-07:002011-07-16T22:33:18.657-07:00I envy you with your sweet potatoes...

Tofutti blintzes, chocolate ice cream and steel cut oats were ones of long standing.Angela Urseryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08854119040826805061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1290706831405437475.post-32918846263409143442011-07-16T18:34:56.133-07:002011-07-16T18:34:56.133-07:00Eating is a very emotional issue.

I would only eat one a day, but I had to have it. Right now my addiction is the chocolate brownie Luna bar. Not good.<br /><br />For carbs, I cook and freeze a large batch of sweet potatoes. It’s a starch, but very nutritious. I love the taste. I add a small amount to every vegetable meal and it’s more satisfying. Don’t quite consider it an addiction yet. I was cutting the sweet potatoes into small slices and baking. Today I’m steaming for the first time. Much less work and minus the olive oil. :-)Jan Hendersonhttp://www.TheHealthCulture.comnoreply@blogger.com
