If you had met me 10 years ago, I did not have such strong opinions about the food I was consuming.  Food was still an important aspect of my life, and I enjoyed cooking, but the most analysis I did of an ingredient list was to confirm that the ingredients were all vegetarian (this was also an era when I was naive enough to think “natural flavours” were always vegetarian).

I thought it would be fun to blog about food products/restaurants that used to be staples in our diet (kudos to the huz for bringing up an old time favourite that triggered this idea).  I know I’ll probably end up offending a lot of people who still choose to use those products, but…OK, in return, I’ll talk about a homemade or better option of how I’ve replaced these not-so-good-for-you options.

So stay tuned…more to come soon!
