Keep responding to the posts 'cause in the past I have enjoyed your comments.

Thank You n Happy New Year

Keep posting and offering support please........

Thank You Rose. Sometimes I just need a reality check :I

:)

Did u know that we spend 5 years of our lives eating ? so true

850 peanuts go into 18oz of peanut butter.

body can't use peanut oil. only thing that peanut oil does is clog heart artrey.
Yes it tastey but not worth clogged arteys/blockage, n a heart atttack.

Light olive oil is, will, not the heathest but far healther than other oils.
Darker oilver oil are the far better thann any other oils.
I use ddark but not to dark olive oil.
Darker color olive oil is tastey. It is tastey. n it akso can be used to drop a dab of olive oil on top of foods for taste.

I store peanut better in bk of my panty. the oil will sperate from peanut paste. I drain peanut oil off the peanut butter.
Sometimes when needed I will add a dab or so of olive oil to peanut butter paste.

I have freind who owns a lrg peanut farm. she can't stand to look at peanuts. Her n her husband will not eat anything that has peanuts in it,lol. not even my home made peanut butter cookies,lol. I put mac- a- dam-i- ans nuts n raise ions in my peanut butter, n bran cookies. I use oilve oil n/r unsweeten apple sause in most of bake goods: cookies muffins cake cake rolls pie crust.

Peanut oil is sooo unhealthy.

If you get natural peanut butter with nothing but the peanuts and some salt (or not) and no sugar, partially hydrogenated oils or other additives, peanut butter is actually very good for you and your heart if eaten in moderation in the correct portions.
If you get this kind of peanut butter or other nut butters, it is healthy and no need to pour off the oil.
The trick is read the label. There are even stores where you can make your own peanut butter fresh with just the peanuts.
Peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter and other nut butters are very heart healthy. Eating nuts in moderation-very heart healthy.
Pistachio nuts are wonderful for snacking and once again-very healthy.

I havent been on much either. When it comes to holidays I do bake andstuff and weight loss isnt as much priority . But they are over thankgoodness

I've been off a lot lately too.

Gotta sort this all out.

Gentle hugs around!

I've also been AWOL. I tried to check in a little here and there but it was really hard as I didn't have access to a computer as much as I would have liked.
I got back into town yesterday and will be checking in more frequently.

I also have to re-evaluate things and set new goals....

I will try to locate nature cashew butter.
I think that will also be good in sweet recipes.
