Hi, Sweet friends!
Reading the labels does make the trip to the grocery store take a little longer, but maybe it's better for us than reading the magazines at the check out. Although, unlike the breaking news in senstational headlines, noteworthy additions to our food are not in big letters across the front of the label, but hidden where we may not catch them.
We found out this week that mayonaise contains sugar. Maybe you all knew this, but I sure didn't. We were going to make our own tartar sauce (because the one from the store contains corn syrup) when we discovered that the mayonaise we were about to use contains sugar, too.
It might be going too far to worry about every single ingredient in every food we eat, but for a month without sugar, I really wanted to avoid all of those added sweeteners. And, for the months after this, if I am going to have sugar, I would really rather have it in cookies or ice cream :)
Hope you are all doing well,
M

I agree, very frustrating. My sister actually taught me how to make mayo with 3 ingredients: 1 egg, 1T vinegar, and 1/2 - 1 C either olive oil or sunflower oil. Its actually quite easy. Blend egg and vin using immersion blender and slowly drizzled oil in while blending. I tried it and it worked! Tastes pretty good too.
