All this food for $47
Apologies for Saturday's drama fest. As I'd stated before, my last 9-5 was spent showing folks how to eat healthier by transforming common fare. Our house was another story, replaced 90% of processed foods with staples and cooked from scratch AND we have chickens in the backyard. I'm working towards hard core healthy 'round these parts. That practice got away from me for a bit in my quest to get germainesolutions.com up and the couponing frenzy that soon followed. But it can be done! Think of processed food as a half glass of empty. Just fill it up with nutrition!
Little to no whole grains in your favorite muffin mix? No problem. Too much fat and or sodium in a frozen dinner. Gotcha covered. Here's how.
Remember my list of healthy foods no kitchen should be without? Well, filling the processed food glass with nutrition means adding in the stuff that's missing. Simply adding a cup of old fashioned oats to a muffin mix dilutes the concentration of hydrogenated fats, salt, etc. as long as you don't add these things back into your new and improved recipe.
After going out and buying two June All You mags, I waited to redeem the Chef Boyardee coupons for a number of reasons. 1) We make our own pasta dishes and sauces and when you get a taste for highly flavored tomato sauce, often what's found in a can seems lacking. 2) The ravioli seemed to disintegrate if you thought about them too hard. Four step solution coming up!
