I'm just a "whatever brand is cheaper" girl. There are only a few brands I'm loyal to. As for labels look for the least number of ingredients and the you KNOW what they are. :) Hi Raine!

I am 17 years old and have become a vegetarian a couple months ago. I did it by my own choice and it took a while but I feel much better without meat in my life. I love cooking and food shopping but don't know what brands to buy because a lot have artifical perservatives in them. I want to know does it matter what brand you buy from this list? [Condiments, Baking Goods, Frozen Foods, Other “Middle Aisle” Stuff, Deli/Dairy/Breads, etc.] If so, what brands do you buy? :] And what do I have to look out for on the ingridents labels and such? I LOVE your website!

There is not one in the area where I live, but would like to shop there next time I am near one. Any special products that are "must have's"?

I also like high fiber cereals and raisins or craisins. I've never tried frozen berries, I should check them out!

I never even thought of making my own! But that's a neat idea! DJ - Great additions!! Thanks! Katie –

I go to the big warehouse type store and get 5 lbs of broccoli, corn, and peas. By "lite popcorn", I suspect something packaged. How about just plain bagged kernel popcorn and buy an air popper. I do add a little butter (or alternative) to mine, but it's healthier and less expensive. Tyra Banks had a good suggestion. Air pop your popcorn. While that is going on, in a tupperware bowl, add a little honey, cinnamon, salt, butter, and microwave for maybe 20 seconds (the heat from the popped popcorn maybe enough). Add the popped popcorn to the tupperware bowl, put the cover on, and shake. It's sweet and sticky :-) The 100 calorie packs are a nice idea, but they are expensive (save the money in your kid's college fund ;-)). Also double check the ingredients for unhealthy ingredients like partially hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup. I can't take the artificial sweeteners either. Perhaps an alternative would be carrots sticks or apple slices with peanut butter (read the label and get the kind with just peanuts - not Jiffy), or a handful of almonds, in a reusable container.

I buy onions, celery, peppers on sale and cut them up and freeze them. I save our glass peanut butter jars. I keep masking tape and a marker in the kitchen, and label stuff right away. For weeks I can just grab a couple of jars, put them in the refrig the night before (or microwave if I forgot), and make something quick the next day. I do that with the beans too. I buy dry beans, soak them overnight, and then cook more than I need and freeze the extra. Before I go shopping I check my staples list. Have you seen "Zonya's Health Bites" on PBS. She is a registered dietitian and public speaker. In addition I have: rice, tuna, eggs or egg whites, lots of beans, barley, rice, onions, celery, salsa, almonds, walnuts, raisins.
