Still trying  to find a WB group I can participate in.  The current WB group doesn't have much participation, and kind of feel like I'm swimming alone!

OK, I'm confused.  And by the way, I still check in here several times a week.  Hoping chat picks up...maybe this will help!     I'm confused about the new MCT oil powder food element that seems all the rage.  How about if I ate just coconut oil with each meal, instead of spending extra money on the MCT oil powder?  I see Dr. Davis is now including this powder in his prebiotic shakes and in a recent muffin recipe he posted.  Any comments on which is the best thing to do?  The powder is kind of pricey, but I eat coconut oil every day, and could increase that if it would help.  Thanks to all!!

This is a bit off the topic, but finding a cream for my coffee that doesn't have an emulsifier is difficult!  Using coconut cream (organic) is very appealing.  My local co-op has small cans of organic coconut cream, I think,  but was wondering if this can be whipped up to dairy cream consistency, and perhaps frozen in ice cube trays?  Would be nice to use one in my coffee each day, along with my butter, which I refuse to give up, by the way!     Struggling a little giving up my dairy cream.

This address says I don't have permission.  Maybe I'll search on Warrior Wife; find another way to the site.

Guess I'm not sure what benefit plain gelatin would have versus bone broth?  It's tasteless...?

This looks wonderful!  However, the carb count for nutritional yeast is quite high.  On Calorie Count, I just entered 1 cup of the yeast to see what nutrition facts it would come up with, and 73.3 grams of carbs, plus 40.3 grams of fiber, which brings it down a little. Not sure I'd use it though.  I hear it tastes like Parmesan cheese...But this site rated it an A...!?

I've used chopped cabbage and it's great!  I use mainly celery, red bell pepper, cabbage, green beans, sometimes cauliflower, but any veggie would work good.  You could even add peanuts or pecan pieces if you're feeling really bold!      It's easy and quick to fix when I get home from work; then I can eat leftovers for lunch the next day and dinner that evening!

I thought about responding to that post yesterday, but wasn't sure what I would say, other than "What are you people thinking?"  Decided that would be rude, so I opted to not post at all!      I still appreciate this site a lot, and check every day for new info posted.

I use Swerve with rhubarb.  Not too much, though. Just enough to sweeten it so my mouth doesn't pucker!     I love rhubarb, and rhubarb pie was one of my very favorites.  I haven't tried to make that, though I like rhubarb sauce drizzled over goat cheese.  Maybe a few chopped nuts on top, but it's great.  Swerve works good.  I also use Stevia liquid (kind with the eye dropper) and it works OK, too, as long as you don't use very much at a time.  The sweetener from the Wheat Free Market is wonderful, also.  I've given up Xylitol completely since it makes my mouth break out inside.  Even chewing gum or toothpaste with that in it.  Never realized all these years that that was the reason for my mouth sores.

Remind me what the dosage is for iodine (as Dr. D recommends)?  I've been taking kelp but it's logical for me to see that perhaps this isn't the best way.

I see that in Dr. D's new post, he's included arrowroot powder in the blueberry cheesecake, or at least approved its use by the Wheat Free market.  For some reason, I thought that ranked up there with potato starch and stuff like that.  Am I off track here?  I've never used it and am hesitant to.

I was wondering about this Sukrin brand...when I found out it had corn fibers, I pretty much put it out of my mind.  Other thoughts on this brand?

Rita, I meant to add that even though I'm skeptical about eating honey myself, I would love to have some bees!  How's it working for you?  And this begs the question...you haven't gotten stung yet, have you??   

Well, I received an e-mail from Sen. Crapo, R-ID, and he more or less said the USA has the "safest food supply in the world."  In other words, learn to live with it!  I was pretty upset after I'd read that.

Done!  I've e-mailed both of Idaho's senators. 

Bob, your chickens should feel lucky to have a nice caring dad like you!      I, too, look for farm eggs, although I don't know how the chickens live.  If the egg box states free range, then I feel better.

After reading Dr. Davis' latest post on supplements and the time of day taken, I take all of mine in the morning with breakfast.  Am I screwing up everything as far as the help they provide?

Greentree, aren't you concerned for the health of your cat's teeth?  Consistently eating canned food could mean cats would need teeth cleaning every so often, I would think.  I am concerned, however, about my two male cats' developing the urinary issue. I've had this happen in the past with another cat I had, and it was pretty miserable for him, especially since he was passing blood already.  I caught it in time to have him treated, though, and he lived a great 16  years.   A friend of mine makes food for her cats out of cooked chicken, and I don't know what else.  If mine would eat it, I'd probably do that.  Not sure it would go over very well with them though.

I, too, have ordered from Wheatfree Market, the general baking mix many times, recently little packets of the muffin mix which I haven't tried yet.  Both hot sauces are great, and I agree on the granola...very good!  Good as a cereal, too.  Although I don't seem to have any leftover to do cereal, most often!  I haven't ordered from anywhere else, except Amazon for sweeteners.

I just had a friend drop off a very large bag of Greenies for cats.  Her cat recently died, but after reading Dr. Davis' article on these  treats, I'm going to discretely put them in the trash!!  She indicated her cat loved them! Maybe loved them to death.

Now this is a recipe I feel safe making!! Thanks for posting...looks good! 

I, too, watch Ina Garten, and love her programs.  She makes preparation seem so simple, and doesn't seem to care if she slops something out of the bowl!  Not that she does that very often. 

This is great!!!  I laughed my head off, then forwarded to both my sisters.

Thanks for the "clean up" help!  And it the cereal is good!!!  I do have the dry granola in the frig to keep for other mornings.   Had my hamburger soup this morning.  Yum!

I found a recipe on the Wheat Free Market site for hot cereal, which I've missed since starting WB.  Or hot cereal that tastes good!  Ordered some of the granola from the Market and am now prepared to have hot cereal tomorrow!  Have to grind up the granola, add flax seed, etc.....anyone tried this recipe?  It's listed below, but I've also discovered the granola is pretty darned good on its own!  Probably too good... 

Hot "Cereal"
Serves 1
1/3 cup Wheat-Free Market Foods Classic Granola
 1 tablespoon ground golden flaxseed
 ¼ cup milk of choice
 ½ teaspoon Wheat-Free Market Sweetener
 Fresh berries (optional)

To a small bowl add the ground granola, ground flaxseed, milk and sweetener, then stir.
Microwave for 1 minute then stir. Top with fresh berries and enjoy.
