@imallears- Good morning. You make some every excellent points. It's so important to care for your self and by knowing what's in your food is essential. I eat Kashi go lean cereal and add fruit. They are very careful about their ingredients. I think that researching everything to do with your life makes you able to make informed decisions too.
what is your best resource for reasearching food ingredients

Hi,
I don’t have a particular nutrition resource. I’m not a vegetarian or follow a particular diet. I look for natural ingredients and will look up an unknown chemical on my phone while shopping. For instance, AMYs organic tomato bisque has tomato purée as first ingredient then natural seasoning and onions and cane sugar. I don’t buy much canned food but I always check what the first ingredient is and discount anything with fructose....so many sauces have that. Some sugar is necessary sometimes.
Publix unsweetened applesauce is apples , water and citric acid. The order of ingredients is important to me. Where frozen fish is from is a concern. I usually make my own salad dressing but found a brand called Skinny girl dressing I really like even though it has 6 lines of ingredients..Except for the preservatives , the other ingredients are like dried garlic, bell peppers..lemon juice. The first ingredient is water but that’s okay because it’s a light dressing and I like the taste.

So, always reading, try to buy organic and avoid sugar as much as I can and very little gluten. It’s reasonable and I am not denying myself . I found a recipe for an almond flour egg muffin that I will share ...makes one muffin in microwave. I will be back with that.
I like to cook and presentation is important to me even if just for myself. My daughter and I are good cooks, enjoy reading about nutrition and always sending pictures of our food to each other. My son is a superb cook, rarely follows a recipe... very instinctive.
