thank you so much! so nice of you to say. 🙂

Yeah, I'm a bit of a weirdo that way. Nutrition really excites me and finding new ways to continually improve my diet gives me great satisfaction. You might try cronometer and perhaps you too will get excited when those circles complete, indicating you've met your goals :).
(or maybe not. i understand)

Agree with your preference for olive oil. I use it generously along with some ghee which provides great flavor, vitamins A, E and K, but without the milk solids of butter. If you have a craving for ice cream but want a dairy alternative, you might try Cado which has avocado as it's main ingredient. The chocolate flavor is delicious. The other option is O'My which is coconut cream based but overall, pretty clean ingredients. A little bit of either of those options is a satisfying, once-in-awhile treat.
