HFCS - Stop from relabeling to Corn Sugar

http://blogs.consumerreports.org/health/2011/03/high-fructose-corn-syrup-is-not-corn-sugar-corn-refiners-association-.html?EXTKEY=I91CONL&CMP=OTC-ConsumeristRSS

Please read the link above.   I am asking people to contact their Senate and House Reps to stop this from happening.    This will cause a lot of issues with people who have DFI as we can have corn sugar but not HFCS.   This will mean we may never really know what is in our food.  Let's hope the FDA will reconsider this proposal. 

Thanks is advance for your help to stop this.

    I've seen this commercial, and I yell at the TV everytime. haha "No, actually you're WRONG!" It annoys me so much. How can they lie so much and get away with it? Thank you for sharing this link. I'm going to check it out and then probably post it on my facebook for others to sign.

    Thank you so much for sharing the site. I have posted it to my twitter and facebook as well. Unfortunately I have not had any response from my Senators or House Rep. I hope this doesn't get passed. Thanks again.

Thai Inspired Lettuce Wrap

This has been a crazy week for me.   I have been in rehearsals and now performances of Carmina Burana with the MN Orchestra.  (FYI - there are still tickets for performances on Saturday and Sunday) Since I am singing, I do not want to have a heavy dinner.  It just makes the high notes flat!   So I am opting for a more substantial late lunch.   I love Thai food and have been craving it but since it can be heavy I felt inspired to create these lettuce wraps.

Garden Week 5

Holy Basil Batman!   Well it is week 5 and the garden is rocking on.  So far there are 4 tomatoes starting on the plants and the cucumbers and zucchini are starting to blossom.   It is really exciting to see the garden come to life.  It makes you really appreciate the food.   Tonight's menu is going to include the basil.    I will probably be coming up with more and more basil recipes.   I mean how much pesto can a girl eat!
