HEALTHY - BUTTERFINGERS?????
OK - the girls have sent Butterfingers into our home. {bg} The older boys opened them in private as instructed and so Zander is unaware of the contraband. They are thinking they'll drop them into our home made ice cream on Sunday.....but Josiah told me they are FULL of artifical dyes, flavors and TBHQ is listed right there on the bag......
Anyone know which one of those health food candy bars is most like a Butterfinger????? Because I would love to have some on hand. We hadn't bought any from co-op because we decided they really weren't healthy and therefore probably could be classified as fake food....but I'm seeing that we will need to have a few of these sorts of treats stashed for those occassions when we must have "something" . . . We did order the Sundrops and they were good...not exactly like m/m's but no synthetic stuff or petrochemicals. We've not pulled them out yet for Zander....we've just sampled them. LOL

I don't know what is like butterfingers but I agree it is a good idea to keep some of the healthy junk food around. Actually you asked me what I am ordering from co-op this month and I am almost embarresed to tell you! I'm ordering a case of 12 of Suzanne's RiceMellow Fluff (which is a vegan marshmellow fluff) because it is on sale at a very good price! Also getting soy mozzerella,-living dangerously and hoping the soy doesn't send my 10 yo girl into puberty or my 6 yo boy needing to start shaving VBG. Probably some ZoeO's which is on sale-like cheerios but healthy. I know I'm getting one of the O cereals. Maybe it was the envirokids one, one of them is on sale. Stretch Island variety pack fruit leather-also because it's on sale. Then the less embarresing, brown rice, unbleached flour, tofu (living dangerously again!) and trying Knudsons very veggie juice because it is something people want to split and I can get one or two to try. I think I need some vegetable broth too and that is about it for this month. I cook many things in vegetable broth as it adds flavor and nutrition. OH and I might just try Dagoba hot chocolate mix, after hearing aboutthat brand on SHS it sounds wonderful and their hot choc mix is on sale this month I think.
Ohhh, I love Butterfinger candy bars. I'm sitting here fighting off a craving for chocolate, which is easy to do since there isn't any in the house LOL. But PNB sounds really yummy. Although I have the unhealth Jif kind.....
You are doing a great job with Zander and your whole family! I'm impressed......
Thanks for praying for my headaches. They have to be gone before Monday. Doug's leaving for a week to train for his new job. I need to be a nice mama :) And I need to not be grouchy and have Doug thinking I'm mad at him before he leaves. So thanks :)

Does the rice mellow fluff taste like the Rice Crispy treats? I used to make those for the kids and they loved them. I've still not found marshmallows that don't have the artificial stuff.....sigh.
So you don't worry about Soy? I need to research this next, I suppose. I know that it is in EVERYTHING and that makes me suspicious....{g} You know how I am. :::snort::: I suppose if you don't use dairy or meat you must use a lot of soy products. You could be my "test family". LOL
When you say you cook with vegetable broth - like saute veggies that sort of thing? And what do you do for things that call for "dry onion soup mix"? I'd not thought of that until this a.m.
Yes, that hot choc mix did sound good! I haven't even checked the sales ads on our co-op and the order has to be in early this month as we are going on leave. LOL I like to just order what everyone else orders...figure it's really good if they all order it. {G}
Kelly,
This caffeine withdrawal stuff can't last forever...praying. Just think how much better your heart is going to feel when you are through this.
Hang in there.
