Marygo- I don’t know what cream of wheat is, there presumably is a UK substitute? Or maybe we just call it something else? Oh- porridge?

I’m having this tonight.

I substituted kale for the spinach and stirred coconut cream, red pepper, and lime juice into my bowl.

Met my qualifications for today:
Yummy, nutritious, easy, and cheap!

Top of the Lake- I saw that somewhere- is it Netflix? I’ll have a look at that. Thanks, Sarvi.

Thank you ladies, that’s some delicious ideas there. I love beans and greens and so does Laura, so those meal suggestions are perfect! Sarvi- I just discovered smitten kitchen about a week ago and sent the link to my daughter too- I love her blog. If any of you haven’t seen it yet and love cooking (I presume you must do to be in this group!) I…[Read more]

I’ve been anemic for years (found out it was from wheat or gluten in my case) but cream of wheat cereal is loaded with iron (ironically for me, I was stuffing down cream of wheat which was making it worse!)

I don’t think I could knit through it, it’s too wrenching, but if you can…[Read more]

Linda, another little one for you to sew for! In both my pregnancies I had low iron during and after birth.

Also chilli tofu with noodles, I *think tofu has plenty of iron in it…[Read more]
