My problem has always been that I hate getting caught up in research and studies and whats "right" and "wrong" in food that I just figured I can eat what I like in moderation.

Potatoes on holiday, no rolls, no mac and cheese...I miss it sometimes. I've always cooked from scratch and stayed away from processed so that hasn't been a drastic change around here.

I've never been a person given to extremes though...a little bit of something is enough for me.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727615822243830106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600608370084874699.post-58585755586374263672012-04-11T08:49:25.798-04:002012-04-11T08:49:25.798-04:00Have you tried insects?
