Hi,

I just wanted to introduce myself and thank you for this group. I have several illnesses that cause chronic pain and find it almost impossible to cook anymore and my hubby, bless his heart, is not a cook. He manages things like tv dinners, chili dogs, and his favorite recipe .... Take out, lol! We find ourselves on a budget, so we really need to be able to cook at home. Not only that, but we find ourselves eating out on the weekends so we can have salads, etc. and eat healthier. We need to be able to eat healthy every night at home, the easier, the better!! I will try to contribute ideas and recipes as well to help also.

Any ideas for making life easier in general would be helpful also. Organizational ideas, cleaning ideas, anything easy ... wonderful!!!

Thank you!

Hugs,
Sheri

I hadn't really given much thought to a support group based on this subject; but, after giving it a little thought, it really makes sense. Have nothing to post right this minute but will soon as I can have a little time to think about it. I'm disabled now with many issues that figure into the mix of maintaining a home in a "normal"
manner. This includes cooking which has become one of my ever-present problems to solve. Will be back soon with some ideas. Glad I found this group. DX: MS, LUPUS, BIPOLAR, RA, HTN, MULTIPLE JOINT REPLACEMENTS, CHRONIC PAIN ad nausem! Would rather think about food and helping each others' lives to be easier.

Sorry your feeling so much pain Panadeine, I am praying you feel better soon. I bought a bread machine at my neighbors garage sale. It does everything for you and you can make healthy bread at home without the high cost of the grocery store.I have to save wherever I can . With gas prices going up to $4.89 I am desperate to cut back on everything . Bread is at 3.89 at the grocery so now I am making my own. I walked 2 miles in the snow with my backpack to my neighbors to buy her bread machine. I was not about to use the liquid gold gas in the tank to get this machine. So I put on my warmest wool jacket and hat and started walking out into the frozen tundra . I met alot of my neighbors walking too, one even said,' looks like an early spring,' I could only laugh. I get through the snow and 2 inches of slush and I am splashed with snow and mud by traffic because the sidewalks were iced over so I had to walk on the edge of the road . When I got there I was a sight. The machine would not fit in my back pack so I tied it in as best I could on my back and off I went back into the frozen white snow of the day. I walked as fast as I could to get my treasure home thinking all the while how would I get it to work without a manual. Never the less I eagerly awaited my challenge . I carried the awkward shaped machine down the road and into my neighborhood and walked onto my driveway as it began to snow. I have since looked up everything that I can find and have talked to many people about yeast and breads and all kinds of recipes . I can't believe I only discovered this recently and I am so glad I have. I am putting up pics of the Mother I started and the regular Mother Starter and my other pics of the dough and such. I am hoping to save money with my sons idea of making my own syrup. I really want to learn how to make Tabasco sauce and Mango chutney.
