pepper, cayenne pepper, celery seed, cumin, oregano, basil, marjoram, thyme,
coriander, mustard, rosemary, onion, garlic, tomato, paprika, citrus acid,
orange peel, and oil of lemon) I also added in some Taco Seasoning (pimento
chili pepper, cumin, oregano, red pepper, onion, citric acid) and some Kirkland
Rustic Tuscan Seasoning, the I LOVE (garlic, sea salt, rosemary, basil, black pepper,
oregano, red pepper, red & green bell peppers, lemon peel, and green

I chopped the immitation crab small, added the mayo and spices and chopped
up some fresh chives. Mix well, refrigerate.

Eat What You Want Day
(I was a day ahead of this.. having dips for dinner!)
What would you like to have to eat today? Okay, great.....health
permitting, go ahead and have any and all of your favorite foods and snacks.
Because today is Eat What You Want
Day.
This is what I want!!!
OK, are you all HUNGRY now???? LOL
Eat What You Want Day is
definitely not a day for diets. It is one single, solitary day in the year to
go off your diet and eat something you really enjoy, Today, you can set aside
your dietary "No-No" list. Today, you can splurge. Tomorrow, it's back to the
diet. It is important to note that today is not intended to eat as much as you
want. Rather, the goal is to eat something you otherwise wouldn't have. If you
are watching carbs or calories, simply keep within your limits by eating just a
small amount of that favorite treat.
Caution: People with
allergies and/or medical conditions, may not be able to fully participate in
this day. Simply said: Do not risk your health to participate in this
day.
