Mrs. Dash Seasoning! Seriously, I put this stuff on EVERYTHING now! Any flavor I've tried so far works great- I'm hooked.

So, now you are thinking...hmm..why tell us? Well, because I want to know what food, seasoning, ingredient, side..etc...you CAN'T live without since making a healthy lifestyle change! (Fruit-loops and the like don't count..=p) Can always use new ideas for what to use when cooking!

    1 part olive oil + 2 parts lemon juice + salt & pepper to taste = a light dressing for veggies that goes really far to boost flavor and add a touch of moisture. Seems like I can't live without it lately.

    And this isn't food, but my electronic kitchen scale. I can't believe I waited so long to get one! Takes the guesswork AND the washing of measuring cups out of the equation.

    Regular ol' black pepper...seriously, I put that stuff on EVERYTHING. Well, not everything, but darn near.
    The gals at work always tease me because I put pepper on ALMOST everything I eat :blushing:
    And the best thing is, I can't stand salt...so that is good, right?!

    Kaitlinj, I'm going to have to invest in a kitchen scale...you made it sound awesomely awesome :happy:

    I'm with you on the Mrs. Dash! Spicy Chipotle is my favourite. Delicious!!!
    V-8 is another one of my favourite things. Makes a great base for any kind of soup :-)

    Amen! Best birthday present I've ever received!

    I love bread! I thought I'd miss it but I have found several that I CAN NOT live without! First - Earthgrain Thin Buns. I was a bit unsure when I first saw them, but even my kids prefer them now! Also, I start every day with a piece of toast using Healthy Choice Hearty 7 Grain bread or Sara Lee 45 calories - Delightful 100% Whole Wheat bread. YUM!

    I completely agree with you on Mrs. Dash. LOVE it!

    Bananas. Since I'm trying to give up sweets, bananas are the next best thing.

    ME TOO! I cannot believe I forgot about those! I started craving them this year for the first time in my life and now I cannot get enough of them! Once I ate so many I actually got heartburn (which I hardly EVER get).

    Do it. It isn't even that much of an investment. I just got a cheap $16 one on Amazon. It might not be the best of the best, but it does a heck of a lot better than my eyeballs or the tiny balance scale I had.

    I like Trueheart's Blend Low Sodium Spices. It was made by a chef in Alaska that my mom knows personally. It tastes great on anything. I just rub some into chicken and bake. Thats it!! There is an email address on the label of tntent@gci.net He may be able to ship some.
