Omega-3 fruit chews and more

new word: 'fucci' means 'fake gucci'

I located some purified Omega-3 orange flavoured fruit chews at Costco, K loves them (limit of 1 or 2 per day). I've been reading more and more about omega-3 benefits to the point that doctors seem to be recommending it along with vitamin D. We drink a lot of milk so we should be ok for Vitamin D.

One bite treats sitting in the kitchen are not such a good idea sometimes. Because you keep passing by them and they are very tempting. Portion control equates to will power and removal of temptation (-:

Turned the heat on today, it was so cold in the house.

Food finds

I enjoy going to different grocery stores from time to time, they all have a bit different stuff. I was watching 'Ricardo and Friends' on Food TV and he was creating a Lebanese buffet. So I guess I was inspired and picked up some Babaghanouj(eggplant) and Tahini(sesame seed) dips, just small containers as well as some ready made falafels (chick pea patties). I also got some grain crackers called 'Lavash' for the dips and some whole wheat pita bread. I've always liked Babaghanouj, I just forgot as it's been awhile. I think the Tahini will be good with the falafels and pitabread as a sort of sandwich, with some chopped romaine lettuce and cucumbers. I don't own a food processor so I bought the dips, am hesitating on getting one as I don't want it to become one of many unused appliances I own.

The other thing I got was chicken hot dogs and I've been buying chicken baloney. They seem to have half the fat if not the sodium and taste pretty good.

I also got these yummy one bite butter tarts by 'The Bakers Oven'. They also make the best chocolate cakes from cocoa (less fat than chocolate) which I didn't get. I also got some one bite oatmeal raisin cookies. How's that for sensible eating while allowing yourself some treats? It's all about portion control.
