Well last Friday I baked a cake
and everyone wanted my recipe.
I was a little hesitant to give it
because these ladies always
bake cakes from scratch.
All that I did was add a
ripe banana to a yellow cake mix,
then I added coconut extract
to a powdered sugar and water
glaze and topped with coconut.
Sooooooooooooo Easy!
You might have noticed my
aprons on the wall in
the photo with the table.
My old rake handle hanger
is very full.
Since my fall a couple months ago
I have started wearing aprons
everyday. Not all by clothes
have pockets and if we fall
and we are alone, having our
phone in our pocket is
a necessity.
Flowers from the garden :)
If you try my cake, you'll
have to take the good rating
from my friends, because I didn't
even taste it.
This is why.
I have been having this problem
for well over a year,
but it started getting worst
so I've started this diet.
There are a lot of "NO'S" in it
that I don't like but I'm doing anyway.
No Coffee or Tea
No Chocolate
No Spicy Food
No High Fat Dairy . . .
That means
No Ice Cream
No Tomatoes
(and I have a garden full of them)
No Fried Foods
No High Sugary Foods
Oh, and many small meals eaten
slow throughout the day rather
than my usual
two eaten faster than I realized.
😔What's a food loving girl to do😟
The bright side is that I've
been on it just over a
week now and it working :)
🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
Wishing you all a wonderful week.
God bless you,
Your blogging sister,
Connie :)
Oh my so many foods you can enjoy anymore but if it's making you feel better it's worth it. The cake looks delicious and your flowers are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I really wanted to have a piece of my cake, but I'm glad that I didn't. Especially now that I'm feeling better. I sent the last of it home with a friend. I couldn't trust myself alone in the house with it. It's going to take some time to get used to this new way of eating, but it won't take any time getting used to feeling good again.
DeleteThe cake looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteYour entire kitchen looks so cozy and happy. I've always loved all of your aprons and I definitely know what you mean about having your phone with you. Since I got my pacemaker in 2015, Dennis insists that my phone is always within arms reach.
ReplyDeleteThat cake does look amazing but I know what you mean about watching your diet. I have the same issue to avoid many of those foods as much as possible too. I hope you're staying cool in the hot weather out there.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
Thank you for all of your sweet words.
DeleteIt has been hot here, hot and dry. I've been doing most of my yard work late in the evening after it cools down a bit.
Of course I remember that song...in fact it's playing in my head right now. I believe that's what my kids call an ear-worm. Silly name for it, right?
ReplyDeleteThank you for that recipe which sounds so easy. Just my kind of recipe. By the number of plates you put out I'd say it feeds a crowd💗.
Sorry you have to live without coffee. ( Maybe you are not as fond of it as I am though.) Some foods give me a problem and when I know I'll be having them I take a Pepcid pill. Fortunately that doesn't happen often.
Like you I keep my phone on me and have a problem when I have no pockets.
Funny or maybe not so funny how our bodies and our eating habits change with age.
DeleteOh Connie that does look good! Your kitchen is so darling.. just love it and feels so homey! Love your rake apron holder. I try to carry my phone with me all the time when I go outside, but not always in the house, which could also not be so good if I fell with no one around! Alot of good that phone does me sitting up on the counter! Your flowers are gorgeous as always, and sorry you couldn't eat that cake! I know how that goes though.. I can't eat gluten and haven't for years, but lately, have cheated a few times and I pay the price, so have learned I can't even cheat a little bit! It's not worth it to eat something heavenly, only to suffer with pain and misery for a week afterwards! I have always done better with smaller meals scattered through the day.. in fact I prefer to eat that way anymore, because I feel better and don't get bloated feeling. You'll learn to have little treats and yummies that you CAN eat, without causing you the reflux. I've never had it (except a very few mild times when I ate too much) and I think it would be awful to have, so I would definitely learn to not eat what caused it! You are smart to eat healthily and avoid the foods that bother you, rather than taking a pill for heartburn. Glad you're feeling better! Hugs.. Marilyn
ReplyDeleteIs this my friend Marilyn from Oregon? If so I wonder why it says Anonymous.
