High Fructose Corn Syrup

I have decided to remove high fructose corn syrup from my diet. It's a nasty thing that is not good for the body, plus it makes things taste "different". Yeah sure things have a longer shelf life, but they don't always taste that great. In short, processed food pretty much sucks. That being said, there are some things I like. The occasional coca cola. Kraft Mac & Cheese (total weakness of mine!). But I want those things to be few and far between.

The unfortunate (or fortunate, depending on your perspective), is that HFCS is in EVERYTHING. This means that most things will have to be home-made. I lack the time to make lots of stuff all the time. But I am determined to try to remove HFCS as much as possible.

So, day 1 of no HFCS. So far I have had scrambled eggs for breakfast and coffee that I made myself (so I know no HFCS went in there). I skipped lunch (ack!) but made muffins - two types. I used a basic muffin batter with 1 cup all purpose flour and 1 cup wheat flour (so at least it's somewhat healthy). Half of the muffins I added molasses and flax meal to. The other half I turned in to coffee cake muffins. For dinner I plan on doing something with the eggplant I have.

I'll report back soon with my progress!
