I made Amaranth crackers the other day and they were very tasty. I haven't made them for a while, but now that I'm on such a restrictive diet, I thought I'd try them again. They do take some effort to make, but are well worth it; I'll post the recipe later.

I have to combine the right foods together for optimum digestion. I learned about food combining about 15 years ago and it really works. When I don't combine foods properly, my stomach lets me know it. It's well worth the effort and time needed to live this kind of lifestyle.

It is always difficult to change eating habits. Great that you not only achieved this but are enjoying it also. My husband is a diabetic and even though I don't have any health problems, I've had to adjust to his and luckly for me I cook Italian. Italian cooking, staying away from the pasta, but not comletely and limiting desserts, but not completely, just making adjustments has worked. Fresh produce, no can goods or prepared foods, cooking from scratch allows you to control what you are eating. Good luck and looking forward to seeing what you make with those fresh vegetables in your garden.

Neat profile, Patricia. Hope you'll join my Eat to Live group. Here's a short cut. I post all my vegetarian recipes to this group. http://cookeatshare.com/groups/eat-to-live-2
