Hi Marie,
I relate so much to this post. I believe you, and I am very sorry for your pain.

Also, it's totally fine to use dried garlic/onions, I promise most of the time there's no difference in taste (it's often better)!!
I didn't have cauliflower or cinnamon powder and added...
It's helpful for me to have a recipe to go off of, usually on my phone, and then modify it as I need or want to. Recently, I made a soup but didn't have some vegetables so I added others, and it turned out lovely. Making more substantial meals like this has been really helpful for me, I can have...
Hi y'all, I have been working through different therapies to help cope with PTSD. I especially wish to hear from those who have a partner who is affected. I want to learn more about sustainable, healthy habits to help me and my partner navigate this journey.
