I have started a photo album on my Facebook page with good food suggestions- click here
Blackstrap molasses- just like Grandma used, 1 Tbsp a day will give you over 700mg potassium. Cramping in your muscles may mean you need potassium. If our body doesn't have enough potassium, our electric circuits might short circuit !
Cheese- we are all somewhat lactose intolerant, but if you are careful and detox regularly (proper amounts of greens and fibers) cheese isn't that bad for you, especially if you buy organic and most especially if you buy goat cheese-it's the hormones and steroids and other "crap" they feed our cows that is making us sick and making our children develop earlier...and don't get me started on the over-use of antibiotics...the diseases are becoming immune to them.
Eggs- aren't bad for us, it's the way our chickens are treated and what they are fed that makes them unhealthy, buy hormone-free, steroid-free and antibiotic-free eggs laid by cage free chickens or better yet-someone in the neighbor with really happy chickens running around there yard!
Greens-turnip, collard, spinach, kale, swiss chard. If it's dark green it's got lots of good stuff in it- I like to sautee veggies lightly in coconut oil, probably should lightly steam them and then drizzle olive oil on them afterwards but you get more out of them if you eat them blended raw in a smoothie!
Honey is a natural antibiotic, and if you have pollen allergies, a local honey may help you.
Meat-it is a fact that fish is easier for our bodies to digest than chicken, chicken is easier for our bodies to digest than red meat and red meat is easier to digest than pork. The campaign "pork, the other white meat" came out when the facts came out that is is so difficult for us to digest. There are a lot of very healthy vegetarians, personally, I still eat meat but trying not to eat as much shellfish as I used to-studies show they hold more toxins...
Oatmeal was pure and natural and good for us when we were young and guess what? It still is.
Olive oil-when you buy olive oil get extra virgin, all-natural, cold-pressed...cook with it, drizzle it on everything, high in good omegas & antioxidants...I put it on my veggie pizza-hey, it makes it healthier:)
Red wine actually has more antioxidants than grape juice-just don't drink more than a couple of glasses at a time-and not every day.
Salmon and sardines have valuable omegas in them and are high in protein.
Soy milk-read the label on Silk Soy milk, this one you can believe, of course, there is quite a bit of sugar unless you buy the UNSWEETENED so read the labels. Rice and almond milk are tasty and good for you too. Almond milk is better;)
Soy Ice Cream Sandwiches- Organic L'il Buddies- www.turtlemountain.com.
Stevia a great alternative to sugar, don't just sweeten your drinks, supplement them- found in some health food stores, I also sell a very high quality liquid variety from Sunrider.
Sweet potatoes- bake them, fry them in olive oil, delicious and good for you.
Tofu is a great source of protein and yummy when sliced thinly, marinated with soy sauce and fried in olive oil, for parmesan, sandwiches or To-fries.
Yogurt- contains PRO-BIOTICS, live bacteria we need in our digestive system to make it work better. Many "digestive system problems" stem from the lack of it. Yogurt comes in low fat, but don't be fooled into buying sugar free-it will probably have some horrible artificial sweetener in it. Buy PLAIN and add honey or fruit or natural preserves for flavor-and you can add some yogurt to your shake:)
This list is just to start you eating good food, try'em, learn to like'em. Pass it on.

Another of my favorite quick healthy meals is a spinach omelet. I toss the spinach into my cast iron pan, which has a little SAFFLOWER oil in it, and sautee it. Once it is wilted I toss an egg in the pan, stir it up and let it cook through. REAL FOOD IS GOOD FOR US !
___________________________
Bean and Cheese Roll Up is easy too. Just put a toritlla in the pan, spread some refried beans on it and a little cheese on top and roll it up, cook on med till cheese is melted. If you put just the right amount on and cook it just the right amount of time, the cheese won't drizzle out and you don't have to wash the pan:)

There are actually some very healthy things on your grocery store shelves-you just have to read the labels, bring your most powerful reading glasses, and avoid artificial ingredients like high frustose corn syprup, aspartame, Splenda, and artificial colors (will they ever learn to leave that stuff out? Maybe if we scream loud enough :)
Classico is a brand of red sauce I trust,
Stonyfield & Cabot are the brands of with fat yogurt I buy, there are whole wheat pastas, etc. Eating healthier is getting easier but don't be fooled-just because it SAYS it is healthy doesn't mean they are telling you the truth.
READ YOUR LABELS, EAT REAL FOOD.
