Sometimes little things make me happy…
Today it was finding wasabi at the local grocery store that is free of artificial colouring…
instead of the usual petrol based food colourings it has gardenia blue and tumeric to make it look green…
Tonight we are having friends over for supper and I am making “chinese fondue” (thin slices of beef dipped and cooked in an onion and beef broth on the table) and when I make fondue one of my favourite sauces is a Wasabi mayo (mayo, wasabi, tamari, rice wine vinegar and a bit of sugar) and I would always feel guilty when eating it especially because Xavier loves it… and he couldn’t have it… (and he would remind us of such)
So we can all enjoy it tonight… guilt free…
(I also found some picked ginger the other day that is colouring free…I think that companies are starting to catch on 🙂 )
Yummy!! We are eliminating food coloring right now in hopes it Makes Owen chill out a little bit. I am hoping it works. It is a lot harder that I ever thought & we keep forgetting. thanks for all of the info you have posted on it!!
No prob 🙂 it is my pleasure and I agree it can be really hard… there are so many foods that we don’t even think about that have artificial colours and flavours… I have a habit of checking everything that I put in the cart now… it takes a few more minutes but things change more often than we realize…
Also, now just knowing that something has those ingredients is very unappealing to me.. wasabi was pretty much the last thing that I was having trouble giving up and now I don’t have to…
