What item or items do you get every time you shop for food?

[VietCowboy]

I eat it on everything but desserts and Italian food and I'm not scared to try it on Italian food, just haven't yet.

bruschetta!!

sooo good if you do it with tomatoes, basil, roasted peppers, garlic and a little balsamic vinegar on toasted bread (sometimes, we toast the bread with a slice of mozzerella on top then put the bruschetta on it).

amazing.

We grow or raise much of our own food and seldom buy any packaged product but still buy whole wheat bread and unsalted tops white crackers, bad as they are for our health. Old habits die hard.

When our chickens aren't laying we buy organic free-range eggs and when our Jersey cow dries up we drive 75 miles to buy whole raw unpastuerized milk and cheese from an organic dairy.

We rarely buy any foods that aren't organic, except for the bread and crackers mentioned above.

Life is good if you eat right.

you are old school..

awesome to know there are people who still raise and eat their own food.

when it's time to eat chicken, you don't go to church's ..you go out back, chop it's head off, defeather it and throw it in the water.

seems like alot of work.... but i bet it's tastes great.

It works kinda like that except we do it as a family and extended family members participate in the process and we will process 15 -20 at a time and freeze them. The family members have a big midday meal on us and everyone takes home a chicken and a turkey for their contribution.

We take selected cows and pigs to town where they are killed and processed to our specifications. We get some steaks and a roast or two but everything else is made into high quality ground beef at 85% to 90% lean. With pasture raised, grass fattened cattle the fat is high in Omega 3s and beneficial so we don't worry about the fat.

There are many benefits to country living. You can grow as big a garden as you want to work at. Moo is the loudest sound we hear. Solitude reigns supreme. Been kinda hot and dry this year and the creek dried up but it's full again.

Life is good when ya got a little water.

Try with simple spaghetti. Not true Italian but it will give you an idea.

My kids love spaghetti and I make it for them before meets and PTs/ISTs and my boys love it when I add salsa to the spaghetti sauce. They call it Spaghetti Salsa. It just gives it a kick and it really makes spaghetti enjoyable for me (though I usually don't eat the stuff).

Just take a regular jar of Prego add ground beef, canned mushrooms, black olives and Pace picante sauce (hot). Start with a little and taste test it because a little goes a long way.

This is my youngest son's (16yo) favorite dish.

Must be nice.

I eat about as "healthy" as you can without going this route.

There is a few "un-healthy" foods I must indulge in daily though.

 

[Faerluna]

milk, soda, cat food, bananas

I get fruit a lot. I might eat some of my blueberries while I listen to the Cowboys game tomorrow.

Salsa. Go through it like candy.

Salsa is probably one of the most amazing foods to be created. It's not bad for you, you can make it in so many different ways, it's delicious, it goes with everything.

Got hooked on MIO. gotta get a new bottle every week.

You sir are living life the way humans are supposed to. I would never be able to live that austere of a life simply because I've grown accustomed and addicted to many modern food stuffs. I've made strides such as only drinking water and milk (no pop!) and the only time I eat food with preservatives or that has been highly processed is if I am starving and I have nothing fast in the house (no fast food except a veggie pizza occasionally).

It is insane how far away, speaking in terms of our diet, that humans have came. We should NEVER be eating most of the stuff we eat nowadays.

I love making my own salsa now and then. From pico de gallo all the way up to seriously explosive hot, I love it all.
