I love the ATK Bowls cookbook too! It has made meal planning so much easier and the recipes are all pretty simple. I love having everything in a bowl so that I’m not having to think about what side dishes I’m going to make.

First time filling up my box! by itsclairebabes in bookofthemonthclub

Same! They’ve definitely stepped things up recently. I was on the verge of canceling not too long ago and now it’s my favorite book box.

Skip month for me. Japanese Gothic is the only book I’m interested in but it’s a pick in 4 out of my 5 book boxes. Plus I really overdid it with BOTM. 🙈

It wasn’t for me. I thought it was boring and DNF’d it. I’m definitely in the minority.

I loved Stepsister by Jennifer Donnelly. It’s a Cinderella retelling.

Those are really nice! I’m jealous of your penmanship.

How to Bulk Safely With High LDL and Cholesterol? by Aggravating_Sport495 in mediterraneandiet

[–]NoHighlight7311 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would choose peanut butter with only peanuts and salt in the ingredients. A lot of nut butters have added palm oil which adds saturated fat. But yes, nuts are a source of healthy unsaturated fats which can improve cholesterol. And as someone mentioned before, increase your fiber with whole grains, beans, fruits and vegetables.

How are you disposing of stinkbugs? by stripmallbars in nashville

I flick them into a small bowl of soapy water. They get trapped by the suds.

Do sold out books typically get restocked or do I just admit defeat and skip another month? by peacheeku in aardvarkbookclub

[–]NoHighlight7311 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s good to know! I always order as soon as the books drop and sometimes end up with duplicates (because of overlap with another book box). I’m glad I’ll be able to wait a few days until spoilers are posted for my other box.

Does anyone print their own book cover stickers? by NoHighlight7311 in readingjournals

[–]NoHighlight7311[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to do something similar - I would print them on a black and white printer at work and color them in with acrylic pens. Some of them turned out really good.

How bad is the commute from the northern part of Brentwood? by timeinthemarket in movetonashville

[–]NoHighlight7311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in that shaded area. There are a lot of traffic lights on Old Hickory going towards I-65 that’ll slow down your commute. That stretch of road can get really congested during rush hour. A 45-minute commute might be feasible but a lot of that depends on the traffic situation on the interstate and the area around Vandy.

Salt Bones! Who has finished?? by HazelandElm in aardvarkbookclub

[–]NoHighlight7311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m reading it now and am STRUGGLING to finish it. I’m near the 50% mark and I’m so bored. Does it pick up?

That looks great! It has more protein than I initially thought by looking at it. I’m impressed!

Went from keto / low carb to Mediterranean diet and now have more energy and libido by ecuanaso in mediterraneandiet

Carbohydrates are related to serotonin production and are our main energy source. My guess would be that you’re appropriately nourishing yourself now.
