Good for you and your self control. <br /><br />Feingold diet - I do remember reading a bit about some of you on it. I'm going to look it up now. I'm good with the artificial stuff - I've got that one conquered entirely. It's just the salt and bread, etc. The Daiya.<br /><br />Jessica, thanks for the Stacy update. We don't have a Trader Joe's. I guess it's substantially cheaper?<br /><br />Amber, E2L is basically just avoiding processed food - I don't think you have to just eat fruit, there are other menu options. Cut out bread and salt...limit your amount of nuts if you're doing it for serious weight loss. It's for health, but it's also one of the diets more geared for weight loss. <br /><br />Cary, yes, I'm keeping an eye on dirtyduck. She's a sneaky one. And I did indeed ask Matt about his salsa.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320336368732794711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341590768573601889.post-88169659757747815512010-09-30T13:48:05.025-07:002010-09-30T13:48:05.025-07:00Congrats on the diet!

That's only happend once so far...ha<br />I've done the same thing with salsa. It always taste good any way though... :o)<br />I use a lot of canned beans, but am trying to get better about cooking with dry ones.

I do most of my shopping at Trader Joe's and our local mainstream grocery store. I do like WF, though, and go there for specialty items. I find those specialty items to be expensive, and other things like produce and stuff are the the same price at WF. I would probably have a different attitude if I didn't have a Trader Joe's.<br /><br />Stacy's last post said she was busy with work and would be cutting back on her posts and also trying to figure out why she was posting and what she wanted to do with her blog, but I was surprised to she her completely shut down.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14917367078025519399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341590768573601889.post-90108087198383482862010-09-26T13:40:28.833-07:002010-09-26T13:40:28.833-07:00Eat To Live, I know that rings a bell but I can...Eat To Live, I know that rings a bell but I can't think of it...is that the one that has you eat only fruit in the mornings?

You should use his recipe as a base for you.<br />And watch out, I think dirtyduck is trying to steal your man.Caryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706480174574401092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341590768573601889.post-10640438514224854112010-09-24T19:05:25.024-07:002010-09-24T19:05:25.024-07:00Hey I've tried making salsa too, and it was go...Hey I've tried making salsa too, and it was good the first batch or two then I got tired of it...just the same flavor everytime ya know.

So because I buy for 4 adults, a tween and a toddler (and 3 cats); it is more cost effective for our budget to shop there. I personally would rather shop at Publix - which carries so much more of the specialties (Bragg's, Spectrum, etc - I was so ecstatic when I noticed they had Tofutti ice cream). I like the atmosphere there and the freshness and quality of everything you find in the produce section. <br /><br />Your first batch of salsa is how I actually new salsa throughout my childhood. That's because we usually were making it from our frozen stashes of peppers and tomatoes. So it looks so normal to me - lol. <br /><br />My week-point for my conversion is cheeseburgers. I was such a cheeseburgery person. Right now my favorite is a sprouted lentil, walnuts, oat and mushroom burger with a bit of nooch and ground flaxseed (I also use some other seasonings depending on what the side veggies I am making).<br /><br />Your first soup is making me want cheesey cream of broccoli. I cannot wait to see what else you are "dieting" with on your menu.The Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15870060327713034629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341590768573601889.post-41880515974869430612010-09-24T11:51:11.485-07:002010-09-24T11:51:11.485-07:00Good for you on E2L, it is rough to stick with at ...Good for you on E2L, it is rough to stick with at first (been there done that).
