I went into town today to drop off an item someone purchased from me on a yard sale group and to pick up my new glasses. Yay!!
I got all 4 pair, single vision lenses, for $67 incl shipping from Zenni Optical. I’m not affiliated with them in any way but just sharing them. I have been getting glasses from them since 2014.
While I was in town because it was getting a bit later I decided to go ahead and get some dinner. I got a steak and shrimp Hibachi from one of our local restaurants. That was my lunch + dinner.

🍲 CHICKEN ALFREDO BAKE BOWL & SALAD Not feeling up to cooking and Kroger had these Marie Callender bowls on sale. I added some more Alfredo Sauce as it was quite skimpy on sauce and tried a new salad kit from Taylor Farms which was very nice.
🌮 TACO BELL MEXICAN PIZZA & SOFT TACO Still not feeling great so when I had to go into town to meet someone I decided to just get Taco Bell for dinner.

I had the chance to spend the day with my cousin and we went over to Virginia. We had lunch at Ocean Samurai in Blacksburg, VA. I ordered 2 pretty plain rolls to avoid as much food reaction as possible and 2 appetizers and split them over the whole day.
Wayyyy over on carbs, but it was a lovely chance to spend time with her and I only ate once the day before (had over 1000 calories left over), so I wasn’t worried.

The Kroger ad changes on Wed so I went to town to get some things on sale… Juice, toilet paper, a certain yogurt, potatoes… 🤣… you know, the usual. Well they were out of the juice, yogurt and the toilet paper so I’ll have to go back next week before it changes. I did get some other cool stuff though.
Frugal Finds Healthy Haul video here:
Tracy, my cousin, wasn’t feeling well so after shopping (and catching up with a friend I haven’t seen in ages) I had dinner out at Tampico …
🌵 MIXED FAJITA PLATE (TAMPICO RESTAURANT) I had dinner at my favorite Mexi place (Steak, Chicken & Shrimp 🌯 Fajitas)
I should have remembered I never eat it all and when I pretracked I counted the entire meal… Welllllllll I only ate some of it – the rice, beans and the shrimp they don’t reheat well, and ended up with more than 500 calories left.
I have been very lucky eating here – as long as I don’t eat the salsa (Calcium Chloride), I have had no trouble here.
It’s like seafood from Peking House – there may be MSG in some things but I don’t react to that and have no reactions eating there.
✳️ CALORIES: 568 (for the portion I ate) 💛💛💛💛🤍 4/5 💊 Forgot to take them with me

👩🏻🍳 COOKING FOR SANDY DAY 3 days a week, I cook meals for a neighbor who had a stroke last year and has limited mobility. We often share a meal kit or something similar and spend some time together since neither of us go out too much 😁 Today is one of her days. I’m enjoying having someone to cook for again.

🍱 LUNCH 🍱 🍛 FARINA BREAKFAST BOWL @bgfoods Cream of Wheat – 2tbsp [2💜] @simpletruthorganic Pasture Raised Egg (yolk only) @krogerco Avocado – 1oz [1💜] @misfitsmarket Organic Red Onion, Mini Peppers @hoosierhillfarm White Cheddar Powder – 2tbsp [1🍎/2💜]
Tried Cream of Wheat savory style – still not a fan 😁
Boy, what an evening! I made Sandy lunch. Got ready to take it to her and was putting some for me in a little container for dinner.
I ate probably three or four tablespoons out of the crock pot as I was doing it. I was starting to leave to go to her and all of a sudden I had shooting pain in my back and my chest was super tight like when my BP gets too high.
I messaged her that I needed a few more minutes and I came and laid down but had a pretty nasty reaction. I was laying here trying to think of what could have possibly caused it and the only thing that I bought different was Dollar General was out of the cream of mushroom soup that I had bought the last time so I bought the Clover Valley one. Obviously didn’t read the label well enough and had a big tight chest reaction.
I didn’t want her to not eat because of my stupidity so I went down to her and then eventually came home and lay down for a couple of hours. It eased off a little bit and I decided because the Kroger ad changes tomorrow and some of the stuff I was out of goes back to normal price, I was going to go ahead and go into town.
I walked around Kroger like a super Nana for over an hour and by the time I was finished, it was 9:30. I knew I wasn’t going to have any of that pork and I hadn’t taken anything else out so I decided to get a modified Power Bowl from Taco Bell so I could sit, rest and eat something before driving home. Whew!
What I have never understood is why I react to some things so strongly like 3tbsp of condensed soup mix but then there are places like Taco Bell, Wendy’s, Tampico – my local Mexican place, Shoguns – my local Sushi place, Yummy Japan – my local Hibachi and Peking House – my local Chinese that I know have ingredients with food additives but I don’t generally have a problem with – certainly not like that.
On the other hand, McDonald’s, KFC, Burger King, Sonic, Bojangles = definitely problems… I have discovered over the years since this started where I can go and what I can get and generally be okay…
But it is still unexplainable why I am okay with some places and others cause this kind of reaction…

🍎 CORE NOTES 🅾️ These items are not True Zero on Core (as in indefinite amounts) but they are 0 by nutritional value at the serving sizes I used. All details are in the recipe cards on the blog.
🧈 PERSONAL PROGRAM TWEAK DECISION I am not a fan of oil in cooking – both from a taste and texture perspective so I very rarely use my 2tsp/day.
1tbsp of this particular butter (not regular butter) is less calories, less total and saturated fat and the same 0 fiber as 2tsp of oil. They are both 9g servings.
So for me, and this is just a personal decision, I am going to allow 1tbsp/day in place of the 2tsp/oil. Any after that counts as per normal, just like the oil. But if you see this butter tracked as 0 for 1tbsp, that is why.
These 3 have exactly the same nutritional value
