    What's on your mind?

    I am sorry for how this has affected you. I didn't think of how it affects immigration. It is always difficult dealing with the unknown and things that are out of our control. Thinking of you.

    What are you all doing to beat the boredom in your marriage during the pandemic? We have gone to drive-through restaurants, gone for drives, and gone for walks in the county park that is still open. We have watched more movies on Netflix. Overall, it hasn't been any different for our...

    Animal and Plant Protein

    I've thought about this lately. If you have access to an Aldi's store, many healthy foods are cheaper. In our local grocery store , the price of fresh spinach can vary from $1 to $3dollars per bag.

    Homemade protein bars

    Vegan Thread While Forum Would Be Wanted

    So I made the vegan breakfast muffin recipe from Simnett nutrition this weekend. There is no doubt that it is nutritious. I'm just not use to bread/muffins that are so dense. My wife says it is because it doesn't have 1-2 eggs. I like the fact that it contains pureed banana and date. It has...

    struggling with marriage (insecurity, jealousy)

    I'm not sure that the Christian counselor you met is your best fit. From what you have written, you may be depressed.
