Heirloom
Blue corn is much more nutritious than yellow or white. You can get blue cornmeal flour online.

Homemade Jelly
Made my homemade jelly last night. Better than store bought for a number of reasons — no added cane sugar and mine includes omega 3 fats from chia seeds, which don’t really have much taste. You put chia seeds into water and they swell up and create a dough-like substance that’s sticky. Then you buy frozen fruit. I like the organic strawberries/banana blend. Put the frozen fruit into the chia seeds mixture and crush with a potato masher. You have your jelly with no added sugar, all the natural fiber from the strawberries and bananas, and the healthy boost from omega 3 fat. So much better than store bought, which has no omega 3 fat, is usually loaded with added sugar (usually sugar cane), and has all the fiber stripped away.
Calorie Deficit Days
I have been doing OMAD for 3 years, but I also do 3 calorie deficit days a week. One moderate deficit, one medium, and one large. My usual day calorie-wise is 2100 calories. The way I do the one large calorie deficit day is that I wait until very late in my eating window to have that one meal, and that one meal is unusually high in protein and fat and therefore very satiating. That one meal can be 1000 calories, but because it is late in the day and very satiating, that’s it for food for that day, which translates into a 1100 calorie deficit. I was wondering if anyone else does calorie deficit days, and, if so, how they go about it — what their strategy is?
Roasting Squash
Learning how to roast Delicata and Spaghetti squash. I’ve never eaten either one before.
Gut Health
If you don’t eat enough soluble fiber, the gut bacteria — starved — will start to eat the lining of the intestines. That’s the beginning of leaky gut and other intestinal issues.
Vegan Cooks
So many really brilliant vegan youtubers. I regularly follow about 5 of them and have learned a lot from each. These people are just so clever and imaginative with food. Here is the latest genius vegan cook I’ve been following. Does these simple but very healthy and original meals:
My Philosophy
Deal with it or it will deal with you.
Letting Go
To live at peace with yourself, you have to learn to let go of issues that bother you, especially the ones you can’t do anything about. Just let them go. Just let them go.
