Well I am off soon to go shopping and was just wondering what some of your " must haves " are.
I get tired of the same old stuff so any new ideas help greatly!

    Pull out some of your favorite recipes (that you have sworn off of) and see what you can do to make them healthier. Maybe even make the portion size a little smaller. That way you can have some food that you enjoy and not feel totally deprived.

    Good Luck!

    Must haves:

    Cucumbers
    Carrots
    Onions
    White Mushrooms
    Fresh Garlic
    Kale

    Hummus

    Quinoa
    Buckwheat
    Whole Wheat Pasta
    Crushed Tomatoes (To make your own sauce.)
    Kidney Beans
    Black Beans

    I try to make sure my food is simple. I don't buy any branded diet food. Also, a trick I use: If the list of ingredients is longer than 6 things, don't buy it.
