| Julie do you think I would enjoy an air fryer? Can you fry things you fix yourself? I don't buy frozen French fries. I guess I could Tho. |

| You might Marilyn. We very seldom use processed foods, I make pretty much everything from scratch, including French fries. I find it a huge time saver when making supper and if you live in a hot climate it would save you from heating up your kitchen. |

Bread raising on the counter. DH requested some stone ground whole wheat with seeds and stuff in it.
I got some carbalose flour and am going to try making chocolate chip cookies with it. I haven't had a chocolate chip cookie (or any other cookies for that matter) since the Diabetes diagnosis. |

| Debbie -- I hadn't heard of it either until about a month ago when I came across it internet searching lo-carb recipes. Its pricey -- $14 for 3 lbs -- but I thought I'd give it a try as almond flour and coconut flour aren't giving me the results I want. It's a very low carb flour processed from wheat flour. I made the chocolate chip cookies and they are good; not exactly the same as my old hi-carb recipe but definitely quite acceptable. I like crispy cookies and these are more soft but good. Why is it so darn hard to make crispy cookies with out regular flour?? |

| By itself it seems slightly bitter but the cookies tasted good, so I think using it in things with flavor, like savory or chocolatey will work well. I need to do more experimenting as my blood sugar was higher today and I did eat three cookies yesterday. Not sure if that's due to cookies or tacos. I may try making bread with it but for now I'm happy with the Ezekial bread. I used Splenda in the cookies; might try erythritol next. Many variables to consider. |

| Looks good Connie. I made some almond punch yesterday. It was really good. I only had three six ounce cans of pineapple juice s o I opened and drained a big can of crushed. Then I had enough juice for half a recipe...and I used the pineapple in a big bowl of pink stuff. Had and her dad love it. |

Yum, Lemonade from Granny!! I think it will be even better in your darling pitcher from the 1940s!
This afternoon, I made my favorite chocolate chip oatmeal cookies which use the recipe on the Quaker Oats box. They always come out good and I like that they even have a bit of health value to them. Growing up, oatmeal cookies were the first recipe I ever did alone and ever since they have been my favorite. I had the Betty Crocker Boysand Girls Cookbook and when I asked my Mom if could cook alone, she let me make this recipe! |

!I also love the Quaker Oats cookies. And I have used craisins - we love craisins. Ed makes Steel Cut Oatmeal and we put them in that, too.

Sherry, those sound good!
I love craisins but have never used them in cookies. Going to have to give them a try. |

| Yesterday at the local grocery store, they had nice ripe pineapples on sale for $1.50 each I picked one up and sliced it today and boy was it sweet and delicious!! Many times, I have had fresh pineapples that were either tasteless or partially rotten inside. Got lucky this time! |

| I love sweet fresh fruit...we had our first watermelon. It was good, but still not quite as ripe as I like them. I love a good sweet pineapple. |

| Denise, I made a yellow cake last week for Sunday dinner. Single layer. I used cut up strawberries with some sugar and a large box of strawberry jello mixed with 1 cup of boiling water (from my kuerig coffee maker), and 1 cup of cold water. After the Cake cooled down I poked it full of holes. Then I mixed my strawberry slices with my jello liquid and poured every drop over the cake. Next I spread a carton of cool whip over the top. Next you put it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours of overnight. It is so good. |

Ladies, this is a tip I learned from Had. Turn your Kuerig on by the time you get your measuring cup out of the cabinet the water is ready to flow...and I will always mix my jello this way from now on! No collection around the top of the cup of undissolved jello.
She a actually told me to make Hummingbird water using hot keurig water to dissolve the sugar.I
Now I don't have to heat the kitchen up. |

| I have a pork loin in the oven and will serve it with baked potatoes and broccoli with a cheese sauce. I want to put extra potatoes in the oven so we can have loaded baked potatoes for lunch tomorrow. |
