Baby Food

Sure is great to be feeling hunger again. Even better to be able to read my cravings again.

Only thing is, I've been craving baby food. Going through it like crazy. Logic tells me it is probably easier on my spastic colon, but. . . Seems kinda weird.

Thoughts? Opines? Knowledge?

I always loved the pineapple Banana one.

Bizarrely enough, frozen strawberries and spinach work well together in a protein shake.
I disbelieved until I tried.

Also, my second thought is? If your body wants it, got to be a reason?

Baby food makes a great small snack, IMO.

If I remember correctly, stay away from the baby food turkey, it's gross.

Thanks for the reminder of the juicing, shakes and smoothies. I do allot of those at home when my colitis is acting up. Left the equipment in Texas. Don't much trust the Foodites I find in the Health Food Establishments. Don't much trust dogma of any stripe. Baby food might the closest there is on the mainstream shelves.

Carrots and peas have been my faves of this go-round. Nummy!!!! Well. . . The toddler oatmeal and apples are awesome, too. Look, mommy, I can eat it all by myself! Some of it even makes it to my mouth!

Somehow our bodies tell us what it needs. I guess something like pregnant women craving pickles and ice cream. It could also be another way that you can connect with your beloved Grandson and go through that grieving process. A physical thing that you can connect to fond memories. That's a good thing Artie.

I don't believe Mom and Dad approve of Gerber. They like the health food brands. Should the "Health Food" be in caps? They supplied the food --on our dime when the food stamps didn't come through-- so I did not need to do the current market research. I believe babies need consistency above all else, so I did my best to just follow their lead. But. . . Now that I know I blew it again. . .

Maybe defiance?

The biggest for sure is that I blew a knot from my colon last night. Oh what a relief it is!!! Tummy pains suck. Literally as well as figuratively.

    Just wanted to give a thank you to Mid, Arfie, Malibumark, Greeneyes, Mlro, Girlincalif, and Suncloudjd! You all always have such helpful tips and advice, but I always forget to write on my posts when I see you post, lol. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body, lol. Thank you all so much! I'm starting to use my AI app as a sounding board again. I used to use it as that before...
