Sorry for the delay, I just found your comment in the spam folder! It's amazing what you find. I said the exact same thing-"why?" I also say that to the fact that there is wheat in chicken broth, but that's another rant ;) Thanks for stopping by! Hi Ellen!

Its so easy once you make your own, it's hard to buy the jarred kind. You do need a food processor though, even just a small one will work you just have to do more batches! I'll post up a "not really a recipe" for you ;) Of course! Its so easy once you make your own, it’s hard to buy the jarred kind.

That's what I'd like to know? Why must they add sugar to sugar snap peas? It seems insane and ridiculous to me. I'm already super aware of the importance of reading labels (gluten free for four+ years), but this just brings label reading to a new level. Thanks for the reminder.

Amazing how sugar and/or a derivative of it finds it's way into just about everything. I usually make my own salsa, but if you have found a good jarred variety please share! So true Lisa.

I definitely read every single ingredient when buying salsa because I just prefer the natural clean flavors and sugar ruins that for me. Also, same thing with canned soup (which I don't eat very much of since I found out that I have celiac). But seriously! Soup! I prefer the slightly salty flavor when I'm getting something savory, and again sugar ruins that for me. I don't hate sugar though! I love chocolate! But when a food is supposed to be healthy and/or savory, sugar is NOT necessary!! Speaking of salsa, I absolutely hate it when they add sugar to it!

I know,craziness. I like ketchup on my eggs from time to time, but I do use the Heinz reduced sugar-which has sucralose. Pick yer poison... Franks Red Hot sauce is a favorite condiment, and I'm definitely with you on the guac and salsa. I'll make a big batch of salsa fresca and top everything with it for a few days. And you are absolutely correct-I also love cereal for post-workout (weight training) and the intake of sugar and/or simple carbs has it's time and place. The problem is when it is added to items on a regular basis and people aren't aware of it. Hundreds of calories on a daily basis worth. It's a sobering thought. Hey Jon!

And the sauce, that is not cool either. Before i buy something, i always check the nutrition facts and ingredients to be on the safe side. I will once in a while use ketchup (Oh noz! HFCS lmao), but i prefer to top my food with guacamole and salsa! =] But i agree, sugar can be a good thing, but at the right time and at certain amounts. It all depends on the context. Example: right now i'm bulking and sometimes it is hard to get my calorie requirements in. So certain foods like kiddy cereal (which has sugar) that are easy to eat, i'll incorporate on my diet. But say for example i am cutting and need to eat foods that are very filling. Mistakenly consuming like 50 grams of sugar would suck! lol, who would add sugar to sugar snapped peas?
