Eating healthy, yikes!

I try to eat a healthy diet, the last couple of years I've been not as good at it as I used to be. I bought a box of those puff cookies, you know kinda marshmallow covered in chocolate with a little jam inside. I knew they wouldn't be healthy but I thought they are mostly air. Turns out that just two of those cookies has 25% of your daily limit of saturated fat, the really bad kind of fat. It's the chocolate coating apparently. Sooooo imagine if someone were to watch a movie and not pay attention while eating them until he came to the bottom of the box. Imagine the amount of fats that guy.... err ummm, I mean person would have consumed.

Yeh... I never worry about that tho... how often do you eat that many cookies? Even once probably won't kill you, but ya... big percentage numbers there.

I make GOOD cookies, and I will load up on them, lol. I just made a banana bread that has NO butter, and ONE tablespoon of brown sugar. So good!! Not sickeningly sweet.... load of banana flavour. I mean sheesh, banana's are totally sweet on their own. I would eat a whole loaf in a day and not feel bad, lol. rambling........

Need a recipe for banana bread with NO butter, please!
Actually reading the ingredients on box of anything is a bit frightening, and being from the times when cream had nothing but cream in it, some of it is downright horrifying.

You noticed that cream isn't anymore then? Only the organic one is just cream.

I posted the link in the recipe section. And make sure you use VERY ripe banana's. I used semi ripe ones... and got a totally white cake. Although it tastes great, I imagine riper ones will darken, and taste even sweeter.

Another adventure is comparing ingredients in anything Regular and Light, or full Fat and reduced Fat,
apparently almost anything can be fixed by adding either more salt or any other cornucopia of chemicals.
Also noticed that while whole milk is 3.5% in UK, it is 3.25% in Canada, unless it's organic in which case it's 3.8 %
boggles the mind.
Thank you for the recipe BF :)

I eat candy .. a lot of candy. I get motion sick very easily so driving is either gravol or chewing on wine gums or ju jubes.
For some reason eating candy helps with the vomit in the truck situation. If I'm a passenger, forget it ... guaranteed vomit, especially if there are 2 lines on the road. My parents car has been a victim, Lous trucks and many rental vehicles while travelling. Oh and road kill? Not enough candy in the world to help me out there ... when I first moved here it took some time to get used to the amount of road kill and the vultures ripping them to shreds..how did I get here? Road kill and calorie count. Go figure. Now THAT's a gift!

I don't like cookies very much and I don't like sweet breads. But I make them often for lunches and snacks ( (we have food allergies) and I hate the ingredients on packaged food. SOY SOY SOY. Fructose, glucose, citric acid, ugh I hate all that junk.
Even sliced bread .. OMG, you see that harvest nature stuff? The crap in that bread! Yikes!

I'm pretty convinced if I didn't drive anywhere I'd lose 20lbs in a month lol. But I drive a lot and nothing is around the corner.

I think if I ate a whole box of cookies I would not need to be in my vehicles to be motion sick.

Anyone else notice how hard it is to find good, I mean good, chocolate these days?
Sheesh!
