I prefer traditional but my wife likes cream cheese filled so cream cheese filled it is!

That looks delicious

Have you ever made homemade torillas?
I suck at rolling them out thin enough.

I tried long long ago.....was a bitch.
I like the whole wheat ones.

My husband's family has a history of heart attacks so I was on his butt instantly when we started dating. He was so interested in vegan and how I do it. I swear he's slowly changing over to being vegetarian. Some days he says to just cook a vegan meal for everyone.

So by being vegan does that mean no eggs? Or are eggs an exception?

@aart — it’s not too bad making homemade ones. But I do cut the recipe as small as I can because I get tired after rolling the first 3

I'm still doing ok.
I keep telling myself I'm ok.
It's working.

I have only cried once this morning.

That's progress!

How is @Kiki today? Any let-up on symptoms??

The game-changer for me was the book Let Food Be Your Medicine, it is by a christian doctor but now i am actually underweight and have trouble gaining! It changed my whole mindset on a lot of processed foods, sugars, etc and I read it in like a day because it was so interesting.

I wish I could get my MIL to change her eating habits, how do you even do that lol

I just placed a hold on it.

I eat nothing that comes from an animal. I have meat allergies and dairy gives me hives. Eggs are a hit or miss, but I just don't eat them.

My entire family eats eggs so I cook them a lot for them.

I love the online library access......do you have statewide sharing?

I read a lot of health book. The China Study is one that changed my life. I also watched a lot of documentaries, but I forgot the names. They basically showed what happens when you eat certain things and also where our food comes from.

We live near a Tyson chicken farm... The day I saw a chicken truck 7 years ago is when I went vegan or plant based. It was a slow process, but seeing how nasty those birds looked made me never want to eat meat again.

Go do a search for food documentaries on Netflix....there are some good ones.

You can be vegetarian and eat dairy and eggs. There's a lot of different diets out there. I can't even begin to name them all
