What works for ME may not work for YOU!

Doing all of the food shopping and label reading that I have done in the past 7 months (Yes, it has been 7 months already!) and talking to my friends, I have learned one big lesson... That is just because it works for me, doesn't mean it will work for you!

My diet mainly consists of fruits, veggies, beans, and GF pasta. I drink water and Vitamin Water like it is going to run out and I will never find it again. I also eat Larabar Cherry Pie, fruit bars. They consist of dried cherries, dates and almonds. They are very natural and give me a treat when I want something sweet. I have also found that making my own Hummus, is so much better than the bought stuff, even though it is not quite as smooth. I can add all types of flavors and fun stuff that can't be found in the bought stuff. Ragu Light - Tomato and Basil has no Soybean Oil in it, which I have found is a staple in many Pasta Sauces and Salad Dressings. I also like the Lawry's Sun Dried Tomato Marinades... and since it is GRILL TIME, I will be using more of this!

So with this said... These are products that I like, use and keep on hand! Read the labels, see what works for you and try and eliminate as many allergens out of your diet as you can in the processed products... Soy, Wheat, Corn, Nuts, Dairy etc! When you eat products that are as natural as they can considering they came out of a can or box, you are doing better for your body!

Hummus

1 large can of Garbanzos (Chick Peas)
1 Lemon Juiced
5 cloves of garlic
2 tbsp Tahini (sesame seed paste)
1/4 c Olive Oil
S&P
Crushed Red Pepper

Add garbanzos, lemon juice, garlic cloves, tahini, S&P and crushed red pepper to the food processor. Turn on and drizzle the olive oil in. You might need a bit more so that it is not super thick.

You can add: Roasted Red Pepper (1 small jar drained) or 1 bunch of washed cilantro or extra garlic and jalapenos. Anything you like almost you can add to this. My favorites are Roasted Red Pepper and Cilantro! Enjoy
