Day 7 - I have nuts! (Why are you laughing?)

I love nuts and I'm not afraid to show it!  Pecans, walnuts, almonds.... What were you thinking?

It turns out nuts are a great food for PCOS.  You get the Omega-3 we always hear about, a complex protein and healthy good stuff that fills you up (fiber).  They add a crunch to my oatmeal, they are an awesome addition to salads and I LOVELOVELOVELOVE putting nuts in my chicken salad.  No joke.  In fact, I may put that recipe up here  for you all (once I get the mayo modification right -- I'm thinking greek yogurt!).

I think, too, this change in diet is having positive effects on my youngest.  I'm lucky in that she likes a lot of the same foods as me and is not a big fan of carbs.  Anyone else have a kid who peels the bread off of her sandwich or hamburger and turns down hot rolls with dinner and peels the toppings off of her pizza to eat them? Anyone?  Hello?

I also checked out a frozen Amy's meal.  I got one of the frozen meals a long time ago and really liked it but didn't really care for how expensive they are.  When I was getting my bag of low-sugar, low-carb....oh you get it...goodies yesterday, I found that there were a few Mexican flavors on sale.  All gluten-free!  I can't tell you how happy that made me.  But I can show you through interpretive dance!

No?  Okay, maybe later then.

I also ordered 3 books on the Glycemic Index and shopping.  I don't like looking around and feeling so clueless.  At least not at the grocery store.  I'll save that for when I go tool shopping with the hubbs.  I also have to admit that grocery shopping has never really been one of my favorite activities.

*hear the whiney voice with my head flopped back and my eyes rolling*
It just takes so looooooong.  And everything is so expensive!  And the people are so rude!  And there's so many germs on all the carts! (seriously, there's a report about it that I don't recommend for the faint of heart)

I totally blame my mother for not buying me enough candy when we were at the store.  Because we all know that candy is exactly what a hyper child needs whilst force to go up and down, up and down, up and down the aisles of a supermarket.   Totally your fault, Mommy.

No recipe for today as of yet, just recommendations for the lazy days: Naked drinks, Kozy Shack pudding and Amy's Organic frozen dinners.  Seriously.  Add them to your list.  Now.  I mean it.  Oh and nuts.  Don't forget the salty or not salty nuts. ;)
