Great! I'll try to get some rooted and watch the weather for a good shipping window. I'll let you know when (if) I'm successful and get your address then.

Thank you for these. I have lost 50lbs (at a healthy weight for the first time in 10 years) and did so when I learned that the icky feeling in my stomach ONLY came when I ate breads, sugars, and other simple carbs. I can do veggie carbs without issue. I don’t count carbs but naturally just do without them unless I want to bloat and feel sick for hours after a meal. Took me over a decade to put that feeling with the foods I was eating and now I feel so much better.

I can’t wait to try some of these recipes.

Congrats @SonRise Acres!

Thank you! It hasn’t been easy. Food was also a comfort item for me and we have had many stressful years with kids who have medical issues and special needs. But after a huge event happened to me recently I decided it was time to get healthy. Sure is a lot easier to chase down a goat or squat to help deliver a kid without that extra weight.

Let me add my Congratulations @SonRise Acres.

I think @frustratedearthmother probably has more recipes than I do so there won't be a bunch added unless more people add them. I'm only adding recipes that I have personally tried rather than cut and past off of the web. I'll add a couple more that we tried and posted in our journal.

I prefer tried and true. You can post anything on a blog or website and call it tasty. I like when I get personal recommendations.

I tried the recipe for the blueberry muffins that I posted last night. They are really tasty. However, I changed a few things. First - I cooked them in a loaf pan instead of muffin cups - feeling a bit lazy. They required more time in the oven. Also used half/half instead of almond milk because that's what I had on hand.

I will definitely make them again.
