Chicken in a ginger-caramel sauce is probably my favorite. It's not too hard to make, I started using quinoa instead of rice several years ago.

Yes, @DanaMH, it IS really good. Thai chilies are very tasty in the sauce, but I take them out just before adding it to the chicken.

What makes me feel good best is

a huge mixed salad with lettice carrots, ccumber, artichokes, olives, cabbage, sprouts, seeds - everything i can get along with a vegan sandwich made from homemade bread, a low fat cheese slice and eggplant done in the sandwich press.

Makes me feel good, energized and happy 😄

Do you grow a garden to get all that healthy stuff also? We start planting are garden around May and freeze a lot of stuff so we can have it year-round. I love homemade bread it tastes so much better also.

@DanaMH

Dana, yes I have a garden and grow most of our food together with hubby. we don't have frost but i remember from country of birth that's an issue. wonder whether things like lettice can be grown inside in pots, maybe garage. I guess sprouting is possible everywhere .

Well let me tell you a story about that...... My husband has a really hard time with all the lovely animals around here so sometimes he gets the fun pleasure of reseeding and replanting things. For some reason the animals like the garden and the fruit also.

@DanaMH

Dana as much as I love animals I can see how frustrating that must be putting all the work into it and not getting anything 😒

I have a ginormous sweet tooth. I asked the dentist to pull it. He neglected to find any humor in my request.

Give me chocolate and peanut butter, that's all I need to live.
