Like weight loss before and after photos but of your new diet !

I'm especially interested in before and after meal photos (take a pic at the point you feel restriction) but it can be of recipe substitutions, your refrigerator/pantry/shopping cart/etc

Let me tell y'all... churros from an old lady with a grocery shopping cart as a kiosk in 59th subway station in NYC! Best you ever had ? The 90s - we were young and reckless

Thats sounds good! I wish I had people who sold tamales and churros near me. I will say though that Im lucky to have a woman who makes bolivian soup from her house and OMG its honestly some of the best soups Ive ever had in my life.

Plantains ! (Yellow is better than Green -fight me ?)

The kale is wilted in boiling water then tossed with oil, various spices, braggs, liquid aminos and maple syrup.

You had me right up until the maple syrup...then I threw up a little in my mouth. *crying* I may be the only person on the face of the earth that thinks maple syrup should only appear on pancakes, waffles/chaffles, or some super smoky bacon.

Maple syrup goes in EVERYTHING. We will defend this in the North East ?

I cook everything savoury sweet with a hint of maple. Lots of rave reviews no complaints.

I only eat waffles with preserves... I think its the Icelandic/Scandinavian way ?

Isn't regional preference facinating? Love it!

Maple Mustard is one of my favorite flavor combos. Going to show up at Thanksgiving on some carrots.

Super common for holidays in Texas, too.

My parents must live in the wrong part of Texas or have the wrong friends! I'll ask around, I'll be there tomorrow!

Can attest that tamales for Christmas has been going on since I was a tiny girl. I'm 57. I'm willing to bet it's been tradition long before that.
