By "Eat Food", he means real food, not the food-like products that dominate most grocery stores.<br /><br />I'm outside of Melbourne, Australia on a trip right now and went to the local IGA grocery store last night to pick up a few things. I was annoyed/frustrated to find not a single peanut butter option that contained just peanuts and salt and all of their sliced deli meats had "bonus" ingredients, like soy protein. That's one of the nice things about going home to Seattle -- so may great markets and local whole food to chose from.Brad Bennerhttp://www.xbarit.com/bradblog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3091119016589036993.post-24296565637075236392010-03-25T17:29:37.570-07:002010-03-25T17:29:37.570-07:00This is a great list!

I do all of them as well except I don't make ALL of our bread, but some of it, and I often use "light" olive oil for baking when I don't feel like melting coconut oil. It's not much of a problem in the warmer months, though. I have considered stopping the light olive oil, so maybe this will give me incentive to do so!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blog last week. I appreciate your comments!<br /><br />:o)Paulahttp://paulasponderings.typepad.com/paulas-ponderings/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3091119016589036993.post-88017863015113694302010-03-25T13:29:00.588-07:002010-03-25T13:29:00.588-07:00Kris,

They also usually have almond butter for a really good price. Breakstone sour cream has the same blissfully short ingredient list that Daisy does. Now, when you want a quick French onion dip, take some sour cream, add garlic pepper, salt, & minced onion till you think it tastes right, & enjoy! Yes, it really IS that simple. And ALL the store bought dips have MSG--and I just could not bring myself to buy any of them to feed to my kids. So I experimented.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067701162901440088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3091119016589036993.post-65073007040728243862010-03-24T19:20:21.766-07:002010-03-24T19:20:21.766-07:00these are great.

I do all of those, so I'm feeling pretty special ;-) I wanted to add that if cost is keeping you from eating pastured meat, try making friends with a hunter or a fisherman. We have a freezer full of elk that we got for the cost of processing. Many sportsmen like to kill or catch more than they can eat themselves so taking that meator fish is a win-win-win (hunter, you, wildlife).Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17635958026460981199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3091119016589036993.post-35888432165767462812010-03-24T16:30:24.564-07:002010-03-24T16:30:24.564-07:00syncreticmystic, glad to help bring back sour crea...syncreticmystic, glad to help bring back sour cream into your life!<br />Christy, ditto to butter!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04507123270803339072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3091119016589036993.post-71336351978979498622010-03-24T12:09:02.088-07:002010-03-24T12:09:02.088-07:00Eat butter, not margarine!

Though I did learn recently from leaving a small glass of raw milk out that making one's own sour cream may indeed be that easy. *laughs*<br /><br />Also want to second on the baking powder. When I started doing real/traditional food last year and needed to buy some, I did check the labels for alum.

It's in broths and bullion cubes. I found one that doesn't have it in that I buy from the regular grocery store. The front of the carton says "SWANSON, natural goodness chicken broth, 100% fat free no MSG, 33% less sodium", It's the most expensive one though, imagine that! It's in a 32 oz carton not a can.<br /><br />Haven't made my own and don't think I ever will. So I will settle with this for now. I can't bring myself to pay over $3 for a carton of the natural stuff from a health food store.edeenuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18000397812001951832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3091119016589036993.post-62856061820220374822010-03-22T18:39:11.068-07:002010-03-22T18:39:11.068-07:00Another common item I've replaced lately is pe...Another common item I've replaced lately is peanut butter.

I feel like i can at least pick one or two things, (k lets be real, probably 1 thing) to start with...and feel like i'm on my way. i had no idea about the salt and baking powder. We do use evoo for cooking alllll of the time, never knew the difference though! there is is this amazing shop in down town temecula where they have an olive oil tasting bar. they let you sample all sorts of olive oils and even mixed ones. then of course you can chose to buy a bottle or two of your favorite.
