It is actually pretty good.
It is actually pretty good. inb4 pleb salsa. This has NO sugar or HFCS in it, which is surprising, since many jarred brands do have a little. And I can pronounce all the other stuff in it. Tangerine tomato paste, dice tomatoes in juice, mango puree, fresh jalapenos, fresh onions, habaneros, vinegar, salt, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, crushed red pepper, mustard extract (not sure why the last one).
I mostly make my own at home but summertime tomatoes are all gone here in Minnesota since September, and I love a good tomato one. I’m pleased with this.

Umm..no thanks. Too hot for me
Yeah it has some kick to it. Not the hottest salsa I’ve had, but pretty good
Oh. I’ll have to try this. And yeah, there are better fresh salsas out there but Pace is not bad for jarred stuff. And just like you said, I actually recognize all the ingredients
I’m pretty happy with this. It does have a lot of tomato flavor though, but I love a tomatoey salsa
Same here.

Mah new diabetic diet requires this.
Bruce Shark you still just pre-diabetic tho right?
Bobbi Jo Woods Yep.
Blood draw/re-test in 3 months.
You’ll do fine. Lemme know if you need any help tho
Bobbi Jo Woods Thank you….
i will continue to read and follow any recipes and recommendations you post/have.
This doesn’t have to suck…I can cook and I can change.
Yes. You can do this!
I’ve been diagnosed as type 2 since 2007 (who knows for how long before that, I had it) and I tried both diabetic friendly meal plans and low-carb/higher fat ones, and the low carb ones aren’t good for me, even though I really wanted them to be. I can spike my blood glucose worse on something that’s low carb/and has fat in it, than something that’s sweet. So I’ve decided to slowly let some complex carbs back into my eating, but very few, and they’re typically whole grain. Barley, tiny pastas like cut up spaghetti or mini-Penne and/or orzo/Pastina, occasionally a heap of linguine, but with LOTS of veggies and a tiny bit of cheese.
When I want something sweet, I make sure I have fruit in the house. Oranges, tangerines,bananas, plums, apples, berries, pears, peaches, etc. I occasionally have pizza or ice cream, but am working to curb those. Whatever is in season is cheapest. Hope that helps you, too.
Oh, and I reserve the alcohol for say, maybe twice a month.
That’s the hard part for some (not for me, I’m pretty much a social drinker, which is hard to pull off for a homebody). Lately, I had a lot more wine than usual due to holiday gatherings, but switched back to 2 glasses maximum, per week. I typically don’t need a drink but in winter, I stock up in the red when it’s on sale so I might have a couple glasses every other weekend or so.
Appreciate it. I do.
Luckily I love veggies and fruit.
I have almost zero sweet toof, my first loves are pasta, breads, potatoes any way, cheese….
If I can find ways to deal with those things being largely out of my diet, I’ll be o.k.
Learning a bunch about how my body uses food…and I am more aware of how I “feel” health wise. It’ll be good.

HAVE some damn bread. Make it whole wheat. have ONE slice. Or get flat bread or some Triscuits (the plain ones are actually low-g.i.) Then be done. Have some pasta, make it a small amount and have salad first. Rice is the worst. Want rice? Cook brown rice or barley. Or whole or steel cut oats (the little nuggety ones, not the rolled ones). Stuff yourself with greens. You love baby bok choy and you’re in the land of year-round veggies. The gardens of Minnesota are closed up til at least June as far as producing anything goes, but you got it lucky.
