Hey gang - I know it's late and I am tired from a long weekend. Sorry - running a little behind. Can't chat long today as it's winter break for my grandbabies and they want to go shopping. :) Nina to the rescue.
Anyway - I am still in the "check every label mode" and maybe will never escape that. :( I was eating some almonds last night that were dry roasted thinking they were ok when I get this little "tap" on the shoulder to read the label. Well.......upon doing so..........I realize there are some "not so friendly" things in the nuts. For example it reads, "Seasoning (Maltodextrin, contains 2% or less of the following: Salt, Modified Potato Starch, Sugar, a bunch of other things and then Corn Syrup Solids.)" REALLY?????? YIKES!
So I grab a bag of my Planter's 100% natural harvest almonds (roasted in sea salt) with no added oils. Ingredients: Almonds, sea salt. BIG DIFFERENCE. So thinking dry roasted almonds don't have sugar, doesn't mean that's true. I just shook my head and realized that I still have to be so careful. Anybody else have any recent discoveries as such???
I think the closer we get to all natural, the better. I did go to Maggiano's Saturday for lunch with some of my spiritual kids and it's NOT so "friendly eating" there. Much harder. But Teree and I did it. We managed to get them to bring us a salad with romaine, avocado and some other veggies (first time around it had their house dressing which is loaded with sugar - so we exchanged it and had a dressing on the side without sugar), then there was an order of steamed broccoli and sautéed spinach. Finally we split talapia that was covered in a lemon sauce with capers and dried tomatoes. That was ABOUT it. Not so good.
Leep sending your best findings, best recipes, and healthy tips. We'll be into shorts soon.
Have a great day - PK
