I was thinking about this while I was the baseball game, why didn't I say this.....

Because you pee out your vitamins....I take mine at night. I don't usually get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, so the few vitamins that I may take, get a chance to be absorbed longer......

ok, thats all for now.

Ok, so I haven't read through this thread at all, so if there is another recipe posted, I don't know about it.

tf made this this weekend and it is freakin' fantastic. The best greek yogurt I have tasted. I added a teaspoon of Smuckers Red Raspberry Jam and it is perfect (but, if you like plain yogurt, it was great, as is!). She used cow's milk.

It is from kitchendaily.com

Homemade yogurt requires surprisingly little prep and keeps in the fridge for a month.

Ingredients:
1 quart(s) whole goat's, sheep's or cow's milk
2 tablespoon(s) plain full-fat yogurt, with live active cultures

Serves: 8

Directions:
1. Spoon 2 tablespoons of milk into a bowl and stir in the yogurt.

2. In a saucepan, bring the remaining milk to a boil. Let stand off the heat without stirring, until it registers 100° on an instant-read thermometer, about 15 minutes; a skin will form on the surface.

3. Using a table knife, make a small opening in the skin and carefully pour the yogurt mixture into the milk in the saucepan. Cover the pot with a kitchen towel and transfer to an oven. Turn the light on and close the oven door. Let stand for 16 hours.

4. Using a skimmer or slotted spoon, lift off the skin and discard it. Carefully ladle the yogurt into a sieve lined with a double layer of cheesecloth and refrigerate until much of the whey is drained and the yogurt is thick, at least 4 hours. Transfer the yogurt to a bowl and serve.

I had food this morning (bunny food) but still good.

I had nice big arrugola leaves. Arrugola is slightly peppery and mildly bitter
(to me) but the leaves are big and are pretty flat, so I use them as wraps.

I smeared roasted red pepper hummus (that I made out of chic peas and red peppers) that I roasted on the burners of the stove, simple, just a little messy.....then I put the window box bean sprouts/ these ones are exotic sprouts. They take 10 days to grow, so I grow them in a seperate planter and they only last 4 days, so i"ll be eating them for the next 4 days. Anyhow, the exotic sprouts are garlic, leak and onion. MMM right(?)
tons of protein and fiber in this. And refreshing and crunchy. I ate one. Drank a glass of water.......and thought, I want another one....so low in calories (NOT that I count calories) I had another and now I feel satisfied. I've packed enough for two for lunch and a chopped up mango for snack (mid morning and mid afternoon) . I don't pre make the wrap, I make them as I eat them. It's just a bunch of baggies or containers if you prefer.

Hmmm. Remember to be good to your body. It will love you for it!
