Granny's gone and done it again

May you have the peace of 1000 Angels.

That's an interesting thought! Thank you!

That was me yesterday. Coffee and 2 Aleve helped.

Glad you feel better today, Sour!

How's everyone doing today?

While I was in NM, a friend taught me how to make what I am calling Magic Potatoes. This method converts the (harmful) simple sugars in potatoes to something called resistant starches, much better for us diabetics! Basically you cook 'em, then you chill 'em, then you cook 'em again. In my week in NM and however long I've been home, I've already lost 11 lbs without doing anything else!

So this morning I'm turning my chilled, cooked Russet potatoes into ... potato soup! You can grate and turn them into hash browns; wedge, season and roast ... cook 'em however you like. Just don't overcook. I'm having a blast!

Good afternoon everyone
Finally I'm getting out of the depression state I've been in
It comes & goes
This time of the year always gets to me
Between fall and spring
It is what it is
Granny hopefully you're doing well & your family
And hopefully so are the rest of my family out here
Well wishing y'all a wonderful day
Take care much love
Prayers

I'm glad you are feeling better mentally. This time of year is hard for me too, my mother passed away just before Christmas many years ago but I still miss her during the holidays. I'm having a pretty good day so far. Getting a little housework done and preparing for Thanksgiving company.

Glad it helped. Headaches. Not good.

This time of year is hard on so many. My son Austin has troubles with the weather at this time of year. Clouds moving in and out.
I have a daughter with Bi Polar that just got out of the hospital ..again. She reached out to me yesterday to ask..how..I.. was doing. She's a sweetheart. She really worries us all.

Hey..has anyone heard those 3 ingredient recipes that go around this time of season?
I'm making the pumpkin cookies today.
Spice cake, pumpkin..15 oz can, chocolate chips. I add a couple more ingredients. An egg and a splash of vanilla. Use cream cheese frosting if you want.
I may make cup cakes out of it instead of cookies. Or, you can put it in a loaf pan.

It was at the beginning of December that I lost my Calvin, but it doesn't make me sad any more. We had such happy times together and that's what I remember. I know I'll see him again and I'm looking forward to it. Goodness, it's been 21 years already!

@Cynthia12, your pumpkin cookie recipe sounds intruguing, can you post it so we know how much of each ingredient, oven temp, how long to bake, etc.?

This potato soup is amazing, you guys. I could eat the whole pan all by myself! I had to fish out the celery, it was too crunchy.
