Making the right choices in the grocery store - This won't be easy

Friday, August 17, 2012

I am not a fan of brown this that or the other. I only eat white rice, white bread when I do eat it. I am trying to look at food differently. I want to make the right choices but it is really difficult. I don't like the way things taste and I won't buy them. I am not that great a cook, I can do basic, and that is what I will start with.

I try to look at the "right" stuff when I shop, but I am not really into that. I am able to back off the sweets and other junk but cooking lite is not as easy as it seems. I have cut back on my salt and that is a great thing to say the least. I am trying to buy fresh but it is not always that easy.

In the summer I am not really a fan of the kitchen at all, I tend to buy things that I can heat up and add rice or a potato. I bought some collards from Chik-fil-a since I can't make them that well.

But I am GOING TO BUY MORE VEGETABLES emoticon AND WORK HARDER AT STAYING AWAY FROM FAST FOOD. emoticon

    You can totally do this! I've been transitioning to whole foods over the past few months. I find that I'm really learning to enjoy cooking. You should really look at quick simple recipes to show you how easy it can be. One food blog that I love is Poor Girl Eats Well (www.poorgirleatswell.com). She has super simple recipes that can be whipped up in no time. Bonus - the recipes are delicious!!

    You will be amazed how this will change in time. I find I'm eating at home more, and learned to enjoy cooking and trying new things, and tracking more and more things, like salt. You CAN do this!!!! Try trying one new thing a month. You may be amazed what you like. Heck, you are the one that got me to try collard greens. I add them to my stir fry vegis almost every night now. :)
