I've been tracking my corn intake this weekend - so far I think I've been doing reasonably...
Breakfast
Sprouted wheat cereal (very crunchy)
Soymilk (uh oh)
Unsweetened peanut butter (please don't tell me there's corn in that)
Peach
Lunch
Tuna fish
Whole wheat noodles
Milk
Butter
Steamed vegetables: broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, asparagus
Dinner forecast
Mixed (cornless!) veggie burrito
Sweet potato fries
Discovery: Mr. Natural's down on Lamar has the most amazing sweet potato empanadas! (According to the world wide wild web, some of the original empanadas were stuffed with cod fish.) Anyways, I love this pastry- fun to say and fun to eat. I really liked the sweet potato one because I love versatile this tuber is. It delivers a high performance - sweet or savory.
Granted, the casseroles bedecked with marshmallows have never really enticed me. However, this empanada was not overpoweringly sugary and fake. Mr. Natural's uses whole wheat flour and sweetens their bakery items with honey - which seems to help give their hearty pastries a distinct yet not overpowering flavor. (It's also kind of a funny way to get a little bit of your vegetable quota in...) I am infatuated with the sweet potato's potential - empanadas, waffles, pancakes, pies, biscuits - the list goes on. Plus it gives all of your baked goods such a nice orangey tint!

(I like the part where he saws the pie.)
