OMGGGGG

I went out to lunch with my former co-workers last week...for the last time! (The nice ones...not the terrible coworkers). And we went to this place that had a honey and nut wrap. It was a cashew butter, strawberries, granola, and honey in a wrap.

It was SOOOOOO GOOOOOOD.

So I decided to try to figure out how to make cashew butter so I could make this wrap myself. And I just made the butter and it...is....AMAZING *dies* SOO YUMMM!

lets hope so. it'll be nice to see more posting again.

sounds amazing o.o cashew butter... sounds like it's divine, especially with honey

i probably can't have it. i avoid most nuts. xD

peanut allergy? (not trying to be nosy)

Peanut butter specifically. So i'm careful about eating anything with nuts. We're not really sure what it is that I'm allergic to... ^^;;

possibly a preservative? possibly it was the red grape jelly on my PB&J sandwhiches in first grade.

you should probably get allergy tested.
it is possible it was a preservative or a food coloring. my sister couldn't have food with a lot of food coloring or she'd break out in awful hives. she ate the stuff anyway though and now she somehow cured herself. her body stopped reacting.

Pretty much what i've done. i drank wine. and i love nutty bars. and i just discovered that those choclate circles with peanut butter in them is delicious!

I'm allergic to something called Balsam of Peru that's used in Fragrance and foods. It is apparently very similar to Vanilla so they said I should avoid Vanilla as well...but that's next to impossible D: But they said I might become allergic to Vanilla in the future...so I'm enjoying it now XDDD

The cashew butter is SOOOO good and creamy!

i don't understand lactose intolerant. I mean.. i feel so bad for them. no milk, no cheese, no pizza, no grilled cheese. No ice cream. </3

It's gotta be so hard!

and vanilla?!? that has to be just as hard *hugs*

haaha I'm basically ignoring what they tell me for now since I don't show any signs with vanilla. But I did stop drinking soda because of the balsam of peru. It sucked at first but I find I'm much happier without the soda :D

*hugs*

You really do feel better without drinking soda.

i completely agree with the lactose intolerance thing. i think i'd rather suffer. i love dairy food far too much.

Life is probably better without soda. I mean.. it is a drug :O

I really didn't drink a lot of soda in the first place. Actually I rarely drank it until college. Then I got to college and I sometimes drank it. Not everyday...but like once a week. Now I just do completely without...and I lost about 5 pounds just by stopping XD

I drink mostly water and tea anyway :)

oh boy, don't get me started on tea ♥

//jumping in the conversation

I never really drank pop before either.
College happened and I've decided that I'd try and eat healthier.
Even though I don't need to.
I've weighed the same weight for 5 years.
Lol

And I just noticed you all said soda.
So your more southern?
I used to say soda because I lived in Florida,
But now I say pop because I live in Minnesota.

Kenome - lol I live in Florida :D

I've been the same height and about the same weight since I was in 7th grade XD But that no soda thing just made me drop 5 ounds from my average so even the little bit that I drank had an effect I guess XD

its the sodium in the soda. it was probably water weight 'nods' no one relizes that water weight CAN affect ones weight 'nods'

Texas here. I like saying pop, but habits are hard to break. I say soda 99.8% of the time. oh yea, and we also use coke and soda interchangeably, whether you're having a coca cola coke or not. it's all coke.

Maria,
I was born there and lived there until I was 14. :D

That's pretty cool.
I think..
I'm super skinny and I sometimes hate it.

I think its more the high fructose corn syrup.
Which, Peru much everything has that in it.

I say "Coke" a lot too. Doesn't matter the brand of cola...it's all coke to me XD

Breaking soda diet get you less weight?! O__O
*faints*

I'm not a stick but I've always been pretty skinny. Never been about 120 pounds in my life XD

Where did you live? I moved here when I was in 4th grade and I've been here ever since!

???

Being on a soda diet (no soda at all) made me lose weight. Only like 5 pounds since I never drank that much soda in the first place. But I haven't had soda in over a year and a half :)

soda pop is sooooo bad for you, though i'm guilty of having some every now and then.
I've never been skinny. was 130lbs (5' 5") in high school, got to college and binged on sugar when i stressed. 155 now.

... I drink isotonic drink... is that soda too? *gonk*
