Default Shopping List

I'm looking for some of God's good food to eat. Healthy (not health) food that tastes good and will benefit my body. Here's what I got so far...

Spinach - it was good for popeye, hmm?
Almonds - provides omega 3's and protein
Natty Peanut Butter - without the hydrogenated fats; omega 3 fatty acids.
Low-fat Dairy - yogurt, cheeses, etc. They're just plain yummy.
Whole grain breads - nothing bleached. Good source of carbs and fiber.
Fruits - nature's deserts.
Green tea - provides antioxidants.

Ideas? Suggestions on what to add to the grocery list? What are some of the things on your list that you feel good about eating and are healthy for you?

Thanks, guys!

It is difficult for me to add to the list, because I normally create a shopping list after doing careful menu planning and deciding what ingredients I will need for the meals.


Things to buy.....

Salmon
Tuna
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Turkey Breast deli meat
Eggplant
lemon juice
asparagus
cabbage
artichoke
turnips
sweet potatoes
vinegar


If you like..... almonds, try buying almond milk. They even make chocolate almond milk for a special treat.

If you like..... peanut butter, try buying tahini to use instead. (It is a sesame paste....can also be used in a variety of ways in cooking.)

Wonderful! Wonderful! So many great ideas here!

When I was a teenager, I could eat anything I want. Today - I just stick my tongue out in disgust at a Ding-Dong and gain 5 lbs!

Oh gosh...it's been so long since I had a Ding-Dong or a Hi-Ho...but I remember, I remember...

I can't stand brussel sprouts, because they're like eating little alien brains. Beats make me sick (I don't know why), but I love all other veggies including hominy.

Book - that's admirable! I usually dont know what I'm going to make until that very night; and then I go wandering around in the pantry looking to see if we have the ingredients, hehe

May I make a suggestion on cooking these wonderful meals?

To retain the enzymes that help digestion, cook on very low temperature...

Never boiling, enzymes as well as vitamins are destroyed...

Low crockpot cooking or low microwave cooking like Defrost temperature is good... even though it may take longer...

Better yet eat raw if possible like seeds, and nuts, sprouts of course...

I love everything on this list except for beets, and grapefruit...

Black beans, corn tortillas, Goats milk, and goat cheese, smoked turkey or chicken sausage, blueberries and other berries, too!

And I could live on hominy grits with butter and cheese, salt Mmmmmmmmmm.

I noticed honey and vinegar were listed on two separate posts. But, my family used to take (or sip slowly) of honey, mixed in vinegar/water and a little sweetner or sugar. Make it kinda thick. At least one shot glass/day. It's good for colds and for keeping them away. Probably has lots of other anemities too.

And nothing is as good for a cold as onion toast. Saute cut-up sweet onions in butter until they are clear. Use plenty of butter to use as cough syrup later. Cook over low heat. Butter toast and pile cooked onions on top. Mmmmm!

What's this I remember about Milk and Honey in the Bible? Anyone know?

Hey , you all. Great lists .... not much to add except porrage in the morning. I love to make my oatmeal porrage with skim milk instead of water and put dried cranberries and cinnomon in for sweetness and flavour and then the ultimate .......

You warm maple syrup and put that on..... Yummmm !!!

Everything natural and good for you.

You're incredible, guys!

Dusty - here's what I have for breakfast like 90% of the time.

Protein shake:

1 cup oatmeal (quick, unflavored)
1 scoop whey protein
1 tablespoon natty peanut butter
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
1.5 cups coffee
1 packet Equal

Stick it in a blender and whooooosh! Breakfast in less than a minute!

You guys see the price of Almonds lately? Yeeeesh! What are they made of, gold? Any good alternatives with the same protein/o3 fatty acids but less cost?

Boiled eggs for lunch. I love them! They don't always love me, though!

Keep them coming! I'm also studying on scripture on how to eat, thanks to Pastor Gary for that one. There's so much to learn I don't know if I'm going to be able to cram it all in before my time's up! Hee hee hee!

Pay the grocery now or the dx lately ??? I think Salmon and Flaxseed have omega 3... Flaxseed have to be grinded to be of effect I heard recently...

About prices... maybe you can buy in bulk, and split the cost with other people... That is what my mother-in-love use to do...
