Kristin: We don't have "Trader Joe's" around here. I'm Canadian, and from Waterloo, Ontario. That's a great suggestion. I'm such a natural type, that it's really really hard to change that and I wouldn't want to, in a strange way! I checked out the ingredients of "Fruit Roll-ups" and rejected them as potential purchased/name-brand snacks--corn syrup this and that and carregeenan in some of the other Betty Crocker fruit snacks. I did acquire some really delicious FROZEN ALL FRUIT BARS, made by Del Monte--the mango/peach and the blackberry/raspberry are divine, especially in the heat. I grabbed a few FRUIT-TO-GO snacks for a mini-purse stash.
I bought lots of fresh fruit to indulge in, passionately, at satisfy my sweet tooth and some baking supplies should I be inspired to spoil myself or just play with "dough." I have some arrowroot flour so maybe I'll try MELITAMI's arrowroot cookies. I also have rice flour and xanthan gum, so maybe I'll attempt a batch of KANDEE'S MIGHTY NICE RICE MUFFINS or who knows what! Cookies/biscuits/muffins--they are foreign to me, after not consuming them for too many years to count/remember.
Also, I think just adding more mangoes and peaches and the like and hitting the smoothies should do the trick! A WOMAN FOR ALL SEASONS!!! (Shhh...I've got 6 litres of strawberries in my fridge!!! Maybe I'll EAT JAM!!!)
