I was in the mood for creamed corn. It’s one of those foods I love but don’t eat often. I have to be in the mood for it. Once I get the craving for it, I can eat it for days. Knowing that my can of creamed corn in my cupboard could never be vegan, I looked for a recipe…I found a bunch. Whenever something is vegan, you have to remember it won’t be the same as the original however…
May is my going to be my 6th month being vegan. I have had no problems being vegan other than salad dressing and my coffee. I prefer having a carb over a protein any day. How it relates to my multiple sclerosis is a different story: You can’t be vegan and not cook. This has been difficult because my hands fatigue easily making chopping, stirring and sautéing tiresome. The other issue is standing on my feet over the stove. I…
Good morning and happy Friday to everyone. Most of the time I dictate my blog through the voice on my iPad. Then I go back and correct any mistakes, which are usually a lot and sometimes hilarious. What obviously never comes across is my voice inflections when I’m speaking, probably why my humor doesn’t come across. I guess you can’t hear sarcasm in words that you read. Oh well, back to my topic, which this morning is, that I started…
Yes I apologize in advance, I’m back to weight and body image once again in my blog. I’m really convince a lot of clothes manufacturers changed the sizing of clothes. Clothes shopping has never been easy for me. Primarily, I have multiple sclerosis and can’t do it. Secondly, I’m a pear. When you’re a pear, your shopping for clothes to fit a smaller waist, larger hips, thighs, and butt. That and a 5 foot two frame, and you got a…
This is actually a reblog of mine. I used tapping for weight loss and self esteem issues some time ago. I must admit, I haven’t been doing it at all lately, but I know it’s a great tool. I’ve been having problems sleeping. I’ve been waking up almost every hour. I can’t stress how important sleep is with MS, or any chronic condition for that matter, and I’m not getting enough. In my email today was an article about tapping…
I’m sitting here with six exercises left of my P90X routine. Fuming actually that I haven’t been able to continue to finish the last six exercises. This is certainly a first!!!!! I really just want to say go to hell MS. This is such a sucky disease of times. It’s not bad enough that it takes a lot to muster the energy to exercise for any given person but an MS person its more of a push. I’m sitting here…
It’s another Monday, how did that happen? So today I was thinking, I wasn’t in the mood to blog. Then I realized I’ve blogged every day since I started the blog in July. Yes, sometimes I cheat and I put up song lyrics like yesterday, but come on Linkin Park rocks, it was meaningful. Sometimes I put up recipes but let me tell you the Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies https://multipleexperiences.org/2017/04/08/vegan-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookies/ freaking rock, made them again yesterday. Or my highest traffic…
I wanted to put up a song today that I’ve been listening to a lot lately. It’s about being remembered for the good things not the bad. It is about remembering the love not the hurt. This song completely represents my past relationship and I do think of him when I hear this song. Actually I think of him with many Linkin Park songs, if he ever reads this, I know he’ll smile knowing why, as I do. However I’ve…
We’ve had a turbulent relationship over the last 19 years to say it mildly. There have been many one-sided fights. I’ve told my story before bug sometimes it’s worth repeating. My first MS attack (exacerbation) was sever. The entire left side of my body went numb and atrophied. I couldn’t walk, hold anything or feel on the left side. It came on fast starting in my foot on a Saturday and by the time I saw the doctor that Friday…
OK I have to start this post explaining that I was expecting this to be like my all hated veggie burger. https://multipleexperiences.org/2017/03/22/i-am-protesting-the-veggie-burger/. I really been trying to find something other than my favorite soup that I still make every week. https://multipleexperiences.org/2017/02/01/vegan-creamy-potato-curry-soup/ Or my no-tuna salad I eat all the time https://multipleexperiences.org/2017/03/16/forks-over-knives-vegan-no-tuna-salad-sandwich/ because a person can’t live off of 2 recipes and call it a day. Anyway, for me the recipe was super easy. I just threw all the ingredients into my food processor and…
