More Exploring

This week I was able to drive to Idaho Falls and go to a natural food grocery store. So cool! Majority of stuff there I could eat. Normally I walk around a grocery store and just avoid most aisles.

Today I found gluten free and mostly corn free orange sauce. My favorite food of all time is Orange beef. It is an Asian dish with breaded beef in a spicy orange sauce. I haven't had this for obvious reasons for 2 years. Today though I found that sauce and was so excited!


So I made this yummy noodle, pork, and mushroom dish.

I also found some pretty good tasting animal crackers. Gluten free stuff can be a hit and miss. Somethings don't taste bad others are awful. Trying to find a corn free cookie made it so much harder though. The main ingredient in a lot of gluten free foods is a corn based product. They have some corn in them but it is not one of the main ingredients.


I also found chips that are a bean product. Most chips are made out of corn (corn chips) or are fried/seasoned in stuff that contains corn. So I was excited to find these chips, haven't tried them yet though.

At my local Walmart I was pretty happy with my findings there too!

I was able to find a gluten and corn free fruit snack. I love fruit snacks but they are just another processed thing packed full of preservatives aka corn....


I also tried these peanut-butter and jelly sandwich things. They are actually quite good.


I love juice. It is bad... I can only drink 100% juices though. Once again if they aren't 100% normally they have corn syrup (poison to me.) I found a 100% juice smoothie. It was actually something I drank periodically in high school. Yummy mango flavored one.


Here is a picture of what I got at the Natural Food Store. :)

This week I ate more sweet potatoes. Who knew they would become my best friend?!? I have found one thing in particular I like about them. They fill me up. A lot of food I eat and then an hour later I am hungry again. I think it is because I can't really have any grains.... 

This week I found three really cool things. I found these root vegetable chips. Now that sounds nasty, but they really aren't. The have sweet potatoes, parsnips, taro, and other root veggies. But they are corn,gluten, and dairy free so I am not complaining.

I also  was able to find an almond based "ice cream." It is defiantly different. I don't eat that much at once. But it is nice to have something cold and chocolately like ice cream. 

Finally I was able to find corn free juice. That sounds funny I know... But most of them have corn syrup or lots of preservatives. This one is a natural juice. So it is water, juice, and beet sugar. :)
