Fritzy 22's Journal, 18 Jan 24

I went to WinCo the other day before meeting my friend at Red Robin. The plan was to spend $80, but it ended up at $130. For those who don't have Winco's, you have to bag your own groceries and they have all well known brands as well as generic. A huge bulk food area, with every candy you can think of, plus grains, nuts, seeds, even dog biscuits. I bought chopped nuts. Also bought a case of diet Pepsi and 12 pack of diet 7up. I shouldn't be drinking them but get so bored with water. Drinking one can a day currently, will try to go 1 can every other day and eventually just one or 2 a week. An impulse buy was Tyson breaded chicken patties. I may have had them 15 years ago or more. But only 10 carb grams and 9 grams of protein. Didn't buy any food I shouldn't, ignored the bakery department (love ciabatta rolls) and the cheddar caramel corn mix.

Working on staying below 100 carb grams, would rather be closer to 80 and eventually 60. I can see that will mean less processed food. I am thinking I will drop off some canned foods, high in sugar at the food bank when I go into town tomorrow for my appointment with the orthopedist.

Thought I would have mocha this morning (thank you Buenita) by adding a tablespoon of Ghirardelli hot cocoa mix to my mug of coffee. But it needed 2 tablespoons. I will have to have the hot chocolate very rarely, like days I have liquids only. Founds some k cups of dark chocolate cocoa, I think they are 60 calories.

Trying to figure out how to make something taste better. I mixed a can of albacore tuna with chopped nuts and smashed up avocado to avoid mayo. But was pretty bland. I bought a can of chopped black olives I will try to add, and maybe slice up a hard boiled egg. The chopped olives are good, like a spread, I have used on veggie sandwiches before. Any suggestions? I don't like spicy.

Not all mayonnaise is bad. Many types only have mono and poly fats which are healthy. I also prefer to not use a lot of processed food items. So maybe come up with a plan that certain days you skip your hot chocolate,rolls, saltines, canned soup or whatever and opt for the mayo in your tuna. There is a trade off…If a tablespoon of mayonnaise gets you to eat a can of tuna that’s a win. I don’t use mayo often maybe twice a month.

Or make your own mayo…it’s basically just egg and olive oil. Get yourself an inexpensive immersion blender. But some people stay away from raw egg so it may be a no go for you.

Thanks Honeebuns, I have no problem at all using mayo. I have a jar in the refrigerator. But I'm trying to recreate something I did a few years ago. I like mashing up avocado and mixing it in with tuna at times. I'm thinking the black o!over will give it the flavor I want. If I want a tuna or egg salad sandwich ill use the mayo. I use t so rarely I also have to check the date on the one in the fridge.
