I’ve posted this recipe before and I’m putting it up again, why? Because it is DELICIOUS!!! Actually it is because, I gave up white sugar and buying foods made with sugar, which includes my vegan cookies I eat almost daily. I decided if I’m going to consume sugar, I’m going to be the one making the recipe so I can account for the actual type of sugar and the amount of sugar used. Ingredients: 1⁄3 cup almond butter 2 tablespoons…
Id love to tell you I came out of yesterday’s round table discussion group enlightened with tons of new information, but I can’t. I unfortunately didn’t learn all that much. This is what I took away that I feel was note worthy. Dr. Krieger’s Leaky Pool analysis of MS. He created an app for an iPad and it’s only for an iPad. If you search for MS topography, you can download the app for free. …
Years ago I participated in a multiple sclerosis activity sponsored at the same physical therapy office I go to now. My main physical therapist started the program 17 years back and became the multiple sclerosis therapist of the office. I attended this program he started once and only once. Why?

My blog is 1 year old tomorrow. I just woke up one day and said I want to write a blog. I didn’t know who would ever read it or exactly what I was going to say, I just knew I was going to be honest. I knew I was going to write about my life and struggles with MS, my daughter, dating, and my dogs. So much has changed in the last year since I started writing. My dog…
This was one of my first vegan recipes I tried. I was so excited to cook something that was relatively easy and extremely tasty. Since I didn’t cook, this recipe was my open door into the vegan world, where I realized I could do this. 7 months later, still vegan.
