OMG!! I'm the PIA picky eater now!!
I had a 'light bulb moment' as Oprah calls it the other day. I was at a freinds house and we had eaten lunch. I was helping to clean up afterwards and realized there were so many things in her house that I wouldn't dream of eatting now, that wouldn't have bothered me 12 years ago when we were roommates. Then it hit me, I really don't want to eat out or away from home anymore because it is such an issue that I would be a pain in the arse to feed. ( I'm glad we are volunteering for Thanksgiving then coming home to eat.)
I looked through her cabinet and saw white bread and buns, snack cakes, chips, soda with sugar, chips, crackers, cookies and gasp! candybars!!
My cabinet has rice cakes, (Quaker white cheddar rocks) shelled almonds, whole wheat bread, even whole wheat hamburger buns and hot dog buns. Oatmeal, brown rice, sugar free jello and pudding mixes canned fruit in water or light syrup. Splenda.
Her frige had mayo, (I really miss mayo), Whole milk, pimento cheese, sliced cheese, cheddar cheese,that canned spray cheese stuff (ahhh I miss real cheese sometimes, but now cheese is a garnish in Leah land.) More sodas with sugar.
My frige has mustard, basalmic vinegar, light ranch dressing (how did that get in there?)
soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, whole wheat tortillas, cartons of egg whites, light soy milk, spray butter substitute, spray salad dressing, lemon juice, low fat ham lunch meat, low fat cheese shreds. Soy eggroll wrappers, zuchinni, yellow squash, red bellpeppers, red onion, sliced mushrooms, avacado, romaine, bean sprouts, cucumbers, and carrots...all the produce is organic also. OMG!! Am I becoming a tree hugging vegetarian? What's next?
Oh and sour cream chicken enchiladas...no worries there my son has been inhaling those at the speed of light.
I became this organic veggie eatting creature when I wasn't looking. Just by making little changes one at a time. Not to say I could go all the way with the veggie thing, I still love my chicken and the occasional Backyard Burger and nothing can convince me that tofu is food.... I do love the Baja veggie burgers though......hmmmmm Nope, occasionally I'd have to have some yummy prime rib with horseradish also.
