Heather Jose: How To Eat Healthy
Whole-wheat pasta, canned beans, taco shells, pasta sauce, tomatoes, peanut butter, brown rice (especially the heat and serve), and tuna are all things I stock up on. I also buy lots of berries in the summer to freeze and use throughout the year. These are great for putting on oatmeal or in smoothies as well as for baking. I can get a great deal on whole grain bread at the bread outlet that is right across the street from the grocery store.
My weekly trips to the store are more for perishables. I buy soy milk, EggLand’s Best eggs, fruit, veggies and bread. All summer and fall I go to the farmer’s market.
My latest focus has been on not wasting the food that spoils. I have found it works wells to throw all the veggies that are on the edge into a pan and stir-fry them. After they cool I put them into bags and freeze them for side dishes and lunches.
I would be lying if I told you there is no junk food in my house. But for each thing that isn’t so good there are plenty of great choices. You can always find nuts, good granola bars, natural applesauce and popcorn that is perfectly healthy if not laden with oil and butter.
