Healthy Cooking by design

I was pondering a few of the brands and products always stocked in my house when it hit me, “Maybe other people haven’t discovered these!”.  With that in mind, I thought I’d let you in on some of my little secrets so you could stock your pantry some of my favorite really tasty, healthy products too.

Good Earth Teas - bold and delicious flavor combinations for hot or cold tea.  One of my favorites is their Original Sweet & Spicy.  I don’t even put honey or sugar in it.  The flavor is that great all by itself.

Hellmann’s Canola Mayonnaise - Half the fat of mayonnaise and every bit of the flavor.  No sweet or waxy taste here.

Daisy Light Sour Cream - Creamy, thick, half the fat and only 3 ingredients, all of which I recognize and can pronounce.

Barilla Plus Pasta - If I brag any more about this one, they will have to put me on their payroll.  Tastes just like white pasta, but made from a wide variety of whole grains.

Celestial Seasonings Tension Tamer Tea - with a little lemon juice and honey.  To say this tea is relaxing at the end of a long day is an understatement.

Eighth Continent Chocolate Soy Milk - I’d choose it over Purity chocolate milk if that says enough.  If you’ve been disappointed by watery or chalky soy milks, let this brand change your mind.

TLC anything.  Granola bars, crackers, cookies.  Kashi has got it going on.

Naturally Preferred Crystallized Ginger.  I buy it at Kroger.  Soft, chewy hunks of ginger sweetened with evaporated cane juice.  Like a spicy jelly bean, only way better.

Milder Rotel - for us wimps.  It brings the perfect slight kick to a salad dressed with olive oil and balsamic vinegar or an amazing topping to an omelette.

I’m sure I could go on and on with what I enjoy.  Instead I’ll ask you what healthy things are in your pantry that you feel good about using, or that you look forward to sitting down after a long day and enjoying.
