LOW IODINE diet update. it is looking up.

tonight i had homemade pico de gallo which is always heavenly. but no tortilla's to make chips yet. so i ate it on top of lettuce. like a salad. and it's really my fave part of tacos or taco salad anyway. apparently it looked really good becuase Peyton came up and begged for some. had a bite, LOVED it and begged for more. i shared a little then he had some with chips.

and when Lance got home from scouts. i went to Trader Joe's and found the corn tortillas i needed. the ingredients? CORN, LIME, WATER. that is it. i cut them up, fried them and salted 'em with my regular salt. not iodized of course. and i had some more chips and salsa. fabulous.

i also got some shredded wheat with no salt. fabulous by the handful!
and some whole wheat pasta. i am gonna have to whip up my own sauce. with the salt free tomatoes, diced and paste. mango sauce has approved things. and so did the trader joes apple sauce. i know ! fancy dinners.

and i found some salt free margarine. at Basha's -no butter-no dairy, no salt. YUM
and i was extra thrilled to find some salt free ketchup. OH YEAH! otherwise i was gonna make my own of that crap. i can add my salt. pretty pathetic but i was thrilled. and i also picked up a bunch of veggies to make a soup. cabbage, carrots, celery, potatoes, onions. fancy cooking now!!

and in the organic section i found salt free soup, two kinds even- lentil and minestrone. easy meal.

and best part? i got bread flour and yeast i will be making my own bread.and rolls. i have never before but there is a first time for everything. awesome!

i know it all sounds delicious! you are jealous right?

and for some reason when you can't have stuff it all sounds extra good. like ice cream, and cookies. holiday cookies. i guess i could whip up some of those also. why not! i am feeling darn domestic. who knew? well i have always been domestic. i just squelch it.

and the kids are all into the why i need this diet. and am i gonna get skinny from it? yeah it isn't that kind of diet. i could get skinny from not eating. but. it isn't likely to happen in a week.
shoot.

and just so you know tons of shelves at Trader Joe's got the bird tonight. and at Sprouts too. all of the salad dressing aisles. and other shelves too. mainly the tortilla chip rack. homemade is good. though. yay for that.

whah whah whah!

it will be over soon. and this is journally and who knows maybe i'll get on google for this too. that would be RAD!
