Kristin's Day 24

Shopping today was traumatizing. First of all, I can't hold a conherent thought in my head. I felt like a ping pong ball in the store. I had to go back to this aisle cause I forgot cheese or wait, let me go back six aisles to get the sandwich bags. Ridic.

So, I get to the cereal aisle. This is the first time I am buying cereal since this whole food adventure began. I am picking up boxes, reading ingredients, and then putting boxes back, shaking my head. Even the organic cereals had a paragraph of ingredients. GV Bran flakes had a paragraph of ingredients. I just don't get it. I think I spent twenty minutes just in this aisle.

 The winners for Friedman cereal this time are:

1. Rice Krispies: Rice, sugar, less than 2% salt, malt flavor 4g sugar per serving

2. Mom's Best Natural Sweetened Wheatfuls: Whole grain wheat, evaporated milled sugar, gelatin, vitamin E for freshness 11g sugar per serving

3. Alf's Nautral Nutrition Puffed Brown Rice: Whole Brown Rice (we'll drizzle some agave or honey over it) 0g sugar per serving

Yeah, yeah I know...the sweetened wheatfuls have a lot of sugar and what is malt? I'm getting there, friends. We just finished the box of FRUIT LOOPS I bought last time, ok? I hope the kids like the puffed brown rice. It was $1 for 6oz which is pretty cheap and we can control the sugar we add.

My poor kids. I bought plain yogurt with the hopes of mixing some fruit in. I get home take a bag of frozen bluberries (that I froze last year) and put them in the blender with 100% apple juice. I add the mixture to the yogurt and serve it with dinner. They did not like it. I got some sweet toothed kids. I put a little honey in it and they liked it! I guess they need to sugar detox too. It's out of control, really.

PS - I attempted apple chips today. FAIL. They cooked for 2hrs at 200 and were not crisp, but I ate them. It might take some tweaking, but I will perfect it.
