My daughter started making apples pies... I don't eat any... no offense... I just don't eat sweets...

We have a few very very good bakers at work... my coworkers bring in soda bread... Christmas time with cookie exchange... i don't touch any of it... I don't really care if I offend anyone... I am 5ft 113-115 pound in good health... and work very hard to maintain.

I just had my blood work done... perfect :) I am keeping it that way... and very happy with my health. I just met up with my college friend, we laughed that we have known each other over 20 years. and our kids all grown... but her and her husband are both on high blood pressure meds.. and gain over 20 pounds... sight...

So tell your wife she is a good baker :) ehehehe... and you are lucky to try it... just don't eat any more of it. lol

Now that it is just the two of us, it is hard not to eat too much of these goodies.

[midnightmoon05]

Donate for better health…

We used to have cakes for kids bdays… with 9 grand kids… cakes all the time… we would all get together, blow the candles… all the kids would run off to play… no one eats the cake lol well except my hubby who is Italian and brother in law who is French… sweets bond them 😂

how do you deal with cravings? or do you not have any?

[midnightmoon05]

@nastyb I love your question!!
It’s 11:35 pm before bedtime… I just had 2 cookies 😂
I eat junk food don’t get me wrong…
I consume them maybe 1-2% of the time vs…eating a whole bag of family size or a whole 1/2 gallons of ice cream like some people I learned… or drink 6-8 cups of coffee with donuts, drink 3-4 Diet Coke and eat a bacon cheese burger with fries… = heart attack foods. Maybe 10% fibers.

I eat mostly farm grown fruits and vegetables. I cut out diary (causes inflammation).
But I do eat homemade yogurt from time to time (hubby makes them). I eat anything that is from
Our local farm.
Cravings? I do eat chips, dark chocolate, very good real ice cream from Venchi, … etc… more like specialty shops.
After a while, our body resets to what we put in… intermittent fasting helps too.
I have a lot a lot a lot of energy!! It’s crazy!!

[nastyb]

@midnightmoon05

you don't crave junk because you likely live a very emotionally fulfilled life. I struggle with constant cravings due to constant stress. You probably also get very good sleep too which is why you have so much energy.

[midnightmoon05]

@nastyb oh my!!! You read me so well 😊
Yes I am very healthy… emotionally ❤️ I also get lots of love and emotional support from my parents at a young age and now my hubby.
Don’t get me wrong I did go through a very bad divorce but because of my positive outlook in life… I flipped that and made the negative experience to positive… even my son said… he is luck to have 2 moms and 2 dads lol 😂 2 homes. Etc…
Yes … I have lots of energy till around 10:30-11:30…. Then out… sleep till 6 ish am.
Due to my jib (teacher) I have a very structured sleep pattern. But I also make sure to eat well and make good life decisions. No stress it’s #1 killer… will hurt you emotionally and internally.

What is the cause of your stress?

[nastyb]

@midnightmoon05

Way too many issues to list on here. But not everyone is as fortunate. Picking a career you're not passionate about can also lead to depression. Most people don't eat junk because they lack control... there is a good chance they are eating it because they just aren't happy with their lives. For some people, eating tasty junk is the only happiness they get out of life. Its the only thing that makes their lives worth living. Don't rush to judge in these situations.

For me, I can't sleep due to a traumatic event that happened many years ago. Been suffering from severe insomnia since 2013. Lack of sleep can also trigger depression and unhealthy eating habits.

@midnightmoon05

also comes to show that emotional health is directly intertwined with physical health. If emotional health is good, good physical health will follow.

[midnightmoon05]

@nastyb I understand what you are saying and it makes me feel so sad that so many people have fallen and became weak. Or no support. I don’t know what to say…
Maybe in so many ways I don’t understand… even my hubby says I am very different from other people…
I too have fallen down and beaten by the society… at a pint that feeling life wasn’t worthy of living… yeah I called suicide line and had many sleepless nights… but never turned to junk food… I still had to euro and pick myself up so that i can raise my kids. From that …
I learned, we must live for a purpose.
So I hope you are in a better place now. Gag has many good people. If you care to share more… we are here to help. ❤️

[midnightmoon05]

Emotional, physical, psychological health are all related.
Stress is #1 killer…
Having goals, purposes… taking small steps to get to it… takes strong will… we can all do it.
Learning to let go is the best freedom for the soul.

@midnightmoon05

some people don't have kids or can't have kids... or don't have the support system to raise kids. Realize kids aren't something you just pop out... it takes a support system to raise them. who will care for them while you work?

you are lucky you have a hubby that loves you... some people dont have anyone that loves them.

Some people hate their careers and can't get out of it. And I find that this is the number 1 determiner of depression.

Some people have been bullied their entire lives... some people are stuck in jobs or situations where they can't escape the bullying.

Especially in our current economy where things have gotten so expensive and out of reach for so many people. Unemployment is a huge issue for our young people today too. Way too many things to be depressed about compared to 40 years ago. Its a different world nowadays.

Homemade is always best better then store bought.

[Chazmatazz269]

Looks like a fine way to celebrate a new appliance! I can’t tell you the last time i had homemade apple pie.

[BCRanger10]

Sure. I'm not much for apple pie, but it looks good.

[AI Opinion]

That pie looks fantastic 🍎🥧
The crust has a beautiful golden color, not too pale and not burnt, and the filling looks perfectly set without spilling everywhere. It really has that cozy, classic American apple pie vibe. I can almost smell the cinnamon from here. That new stove is already earning its place. Make America Yummy Again indeed 😄

[FreyaRed]

Are you sure those apples didn't came from Mexico or I dare to say, from China? XD
Otherwise it's a nice looking apple pie.

[midnightmoon05]

China doesn’t export apples to the US. No shelf life.
California or Mexico probably.

[exitseven]

@midnightmoon05 we never buy fruit that is not from USA except for bannannas.

[midnightmoon05]

where do you get your fruits?

[exitseven]

@midnightmoon05 mostly at the supermarket but we get apples from a local orchard sometimes. The Macouns should be out soon.

[midnightmoon05]

We went to our local apple orchard yesterday and got honey cris and honey.
We did not get the pies or donuts :P

[Lliam]

Looks good. How did it taste?

[sage2021]

I like mushy crust on my pies.

I hope you enjoy it.🙂

[exitseven]

I just had a piece it was reallly good.

[rgb008]

Looks great. I enjoy making key lemon pie and French silk pie

[exitseven]

yes, you do have some sort of thing for keys.

[rgb008]

I didn’t even notice I made that pun 😂😭 I just love pie 🥹. Brb making my recipe for key key pie now. I will post it later

[AgentG111]

That definitely does not look done and that does not look appetizing at all that's just my personal opinion if it was delicious and it was good then by all means dig in and joy and make sure you tell her thank you very much.

[ElenaLena]

[AviatorTom]

How big a piece did you eat?

I'd want at least 1/8 of that pie.

[RecipeforLogic]

That’s pretty good for a first. But it’s all about the taste, you know?

[thund3rlight]

[exitseven]

[TrueConfection]
