Shopping for the Essentials

Before you  begin to prepare meals you need to make sure you have all the essential ingredients you need. Most of the things you will need to cook with are located in the market isles such as Sugar, Salt.  Pepper. Flour, Oil, Pasta, Soup Stocks.

Fruits and vegetables are a great pick at the market and we need to make sure we pick up some . You should be eating at lease 5 fruits and vegetables each day, and one way you can do this is to incorporate them in your meals like make yourself a salad and add apples or pears, this is a delicious salad.

The apples are fruit that most of us can eat, proverbs say that" an apple a day keeps the doctor away."  Another fruit to choose is an orange which is loaded with vitamin C.  

When looking for vegetables look for tomatoes and  potatoes. I like to get the ones still connected to a vine.  Onions are essentials as well as potatoes.  Leeks are a good vegetable to eat also it is in the onion family but not as strong tasting as an onion. Leeks are very good in soups & stews.

Carrots are another good choice, along with green peppers or Brussels sprouts, lots of people enjoy okra also and lets not forget egg plant.
Tomatoes on the vine tend to be sweet and the go good on sandwiches and in salads.  What I like to do is make a salad without lettuce such as tomato,
cucumber, onion and avocado.Sometimes I like to put blueberries in my salads.  Whatever you like  incorporate it into your daily diet, make the change, don't eat the junk food or the non-nutritional foods, you might lose weight in the process.  Another way to get it all in is to make a
large pot of vegetable soup.
