Do you have a given range of amount of sugar that is okay for you to have? Meals don't have to be boring at all, herbs can alter the flavor intensely and now is the season for fresh....get it while you can, freeze any extras if you can...it really does ease the boredom, which can happen to anyone if they eat the same things over and over and over.

    I hear you about the groceries, they are ridiculous here too. DH and I have huge gardens this year, are canning/freezing lots and raising chickens (eggs/meat) and pigs for butchering. We do the chickens but the pigs go to the butcher. I know it's not the life for everyone but I love the gardening and animals...there's a certain satisfaction that goes along with it...not to mention WORK. :)

   Anyway, I'm off on a tangent....any idea how much sugar is ok?
