Apparently, legumes (beans, peanuts) tend to cause inflammation, which can make you feel lousy.

I've enjoyed the almond milk in anything I make that requires milk. However, the one thing I don't enjoy the almond milk in is coffee. I have to train myself to like black coffee straight up. What type of coffee are you using in order to drink it straight up?Sandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-60696274061081600932016-03-02T10:37:09.995-05:002016-03-02T10:37:09.995-05:00Kristina - You, my dear, are my ideal!Kristina - You, my dear, are my ideal!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-9595478174062349882016-03-02T10:36:43.874-05:002016-03-02T10:36:43.874-05:00Gail - I even amazed myself.Gail - I even amazed myself.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-17581570922287852422016-03-02T10:36:24.438-05:002016-03-02T10:36:24.438-05:00Mama Pea - Come on down!

EVOO and ACV - every day! ground turmeric , cumin and cayenne every day. and some fermented food - every day.<br /><br />if you are interested in how we approach our food, you can go to this link:<br /><br />http://framboisemanor.blogspot.ca/2011/10/framboise-manor-diet.html<br /><br />again, congratulations - what you did during the month of february was not easy - and not a lot of people could have done the same. but you got...ummm...what we call up here "balls". you had the balls to do it. go gurl!<br /><br />your friend,<br />kymber<br />kymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.com
