I consider myself something of a foodie. I like to cook and I like to eat. I've recently realized that I've become extremely sensitive to soy products, and have just started attempting to cut soy out of my diet.

Yeah. Easier said than done.

But, I'll get it figured out. In the meantime, some recommendations:

The Ojai Cook: Lemonaise is a great substitute for mayo. Made with canola oil, it has a great tangy taste. So far I've had with turkey, but look forward to making a tuna salad.

I had an awesome organic whole wheat pita today that didn't taste like cardboard. I think the company was 'Just Natural, INC,' and I found them at my local Nugget Market.

After having to grab a quick second supper of nachos on campus this evening, I know I need to pack more food. I like veggies, but need dip, and of course, pretty much everything has soybean oil or soy lecithin. So, my alternative:

1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch 'Dips' seasoning packet
1 16 oz tub organic cottage cheese
1 tbs-ish whipped cream cheese

Mix together thoroughly.

I'll see how well this one goes down tomorrow with my veggie snacks.
