    Butter and fresh tarragon were once my go-to dressing for carrots, but my flaring sweet tooth recently pulled me in a slightly different direction. This recipe turned out to be just sweet enough to rival dessert. This is a great dish to serve when you have guests, especially if you can get your hands on rainbow carrots.
    Ingredients:
    1 pound carrots cut into 1-inch pieces
    2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
    1 tablespoon butter
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    ½ cup freshly chopped parsley
    Pepper to taste
    Directions:
    Salt a medium pot of boiling water and cook carrots for 5-6 minutes until tender-crisp and drain.
    Add carrots to a medium saucepan and heat with syrup, butter, and lemon juice.
    Cook until carrots are well-coated, about another 5 minutes. Season with ...

      Test says no, but body says Yes?

      @PlanetJanet, Sorry to hear about your back pain. I have three crushed vertebrae myself. I found that a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamin and Pyridoxine (all water soluble B vitamins) work effectively for my back pain. This combination really works without the side effects of prescription and over-the-counter pain meds. I hope you will give them...

      Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?

      Here is the info from their website. If you don't trust them, you may find products that are labelled "gluten-free," but I don't see any reason to believe there is any gluten in them.

      Hi, trents, Thanks for responding! One book I read is called, Doing Harm, by Maya Dusenbery. She has wonderful perspective and insight, and it's all research-based. It's about how women can't get treated. Everyone should read this! I wouldn't mind reading it again, even. She believes that women are so busy taking care of families, working,...

      Modified Food Starch

      They say maltodextrin is gluten-free, even if it's made from wheat, because the gluten is processed away. It makes no difference to my body. I still get uncontrollable flatulence and leakage. Happens every time, even if I refuse to believe it will happen. Once I was taking Gas-X chewables to hang around with people I was visiting and staying with, to...

      Titanium dioxide is that chemical in vitamins, toothpaste, and processed white foods that is the whitener for the pill coloring. It is inflammatory for me.
