Yup - You had your carb fest today. Say, I see you use canola oil. Why not olive oil from olives or peanut oil from peanuts? Some feel canola oil is not as good for you. Canola is a genetically engineered plant developed in Canada from the Rapeseed Plant, which is part of the mustard family of plants. It is sort of a hybrid, I am not criticizing - just wondering if you use canola for a reason. 

@HCB, you're totally right about that. I don't like canola oil either. However, I'm on a pretty tight budget so right now I'm just finishing up the oil that I have. But I will be buying olive oil soon. I read that the process of making canola oil creates two unsavory chemicals that need to be removed, basically to make it more savory for us, as well as creating extra trans fat along the way. Even though the canola oil I'm using (costco brand) has no trans fat, I'd rather have olive oil. *Takes breath* What I'm trying to say is, I will buy olive oil soon lol. 

It's actually much cheaper in the long run to get the biggest jugs of olive oil. It's a small fortune but you end up paying a ton less. I use olive oil all the time because I have a dairy allergy. 

thanks HCB 

Canola is the Devil's oil. It's a very pretty crop though. It was tied to heart conditions. That's when it feel off the market as Rapeseed oil and became canola oil. 

Oh? I always thought part of the reason was because of the implications the name had :X
