All American - All Natural - All Good!

Title of Product: Oscar Mayer Natural Beef Franks

Description: Hot Dogs

Why do you like it?
Who doesn't like a good hot dog? These taste great and surprisingly don't have any junk in them! No descriptors like mechanically separated meat on this label. Just beef and spices. Add a little whole grain bread with organic ketchup and you actually have a good meal. Just be sure to squeeze in a green vegetable and fruit to make it well rounded. They are a little pricey but when you are craving a grilled hot dog these will do the job.

Can Sausage Be Considered A Dessert?

Title of Product: Niman Ranch Apple Gouda Sausage

Description:
All Natural Apple Gouda Sausage

Why do you like it?
Oh my goodness these are good! Read the label and you can understand every ingredient plus they taste so good. I am a fan of sausage but the combination in flavors in these are over-the-top. It is the perfect mix of sweet and salt without junk ingredients. Sausage is still sausage so there is grease involved. Pop these babies on the grill for about 5-7 minutes and you won't be sorry. They are great with a side of some kind of starch like rice or bread and don't forget your green vegetable!

In Honor of Paul Newman and Pasta

Title of Product: Newman's Own - Marinara

Description: Tomato Sauce

Why do you like it?
It is really simple... it tastes good and doesn't have any junk ingredients in it. There are a variety of flavors available including organics. I like the marinara variety the best because it has the right amount of smooth and chunky. I am not a big fan of really chunky sauces. Tastes great on any pasta and it is easy to prepare.

Don't knock it 'til you try it!

Title of Product: Beech Nut Apple Delight

Description: Baby Food dessert

Why do you like it?
It packs great in your lunch and tastes gourmet! Yes, I know it is baby food but for about 50 cents you can treat yourself to the best applesauce there is. Baby food is a great way to insert healthy ingredients into your diet. It is basically pureed food that can be used as a clinging agent or sweetener in foods or just eat it out of the jar! I can't recommend the dinners but the fruity desserts are top notch! Still seems weird... well, it isn't for everyone but it is healthy and convenient.

I am a Pizza Addict!

Title of Product: Amy's Pizza

Description: Margherita Pizza

Why do you like it?
I have had Amy's other pizzas and liked them a lot. They are a little more expensive than a regular frozen pizza but of course they are made with organic ingredients. This is my favorite kind. The sauce is tasty and it has chunks of real mozzarella cheese. The crust is made with wheat flour and it is about 12 inches in diameter. The crust is thicker and bread-ier than other organic pizzas that seem like flat bread. I usually can eat all but 1 or 2 pieces in one setting. So much for the calories but it sure is good.

I am Screaming for Ice Cream!

Title of Product: Breyers All Natural Ice Cream

Description: Vanilla Ice Cream with Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Why do you like it?
While Ice Cream itself isn't the healthiest thing you can eat this one is the most natural one I can find. The ice cream is made of all natural ingredients such as milk, cream, and sugar and it comes in many different flavors. The flavors are where you will find the not-s0-healthy ingredients like caramel, cookie dough, chocolate chips, chocolate swirls, brownies, etc. I just have to have a little sweet treat every once in a while and this brand seems to have the most natural ingredients and no corn syrup. Breyers makes other ice cream so be sure to look for the green banner that says, "all natural."

Juice Made From Fruit!

Title of Product: Juicy Juice

Description: Grape Juice

Why do you like it?
It has apple juice, grape juice, and pear juice along with Absorbic Acid and natural flavors. No corn syrup and no added sugar. You always have to watch the amount of sugar in juices and this is no exception. It tastes very sweet and delicious and grape is a great alternative to the juices that are more acidic. It makes for a nice sweet treat for breakfast or after dinner.

My Childhood Flashback Snack!

Title of Product: Mott's Natural Applesauce

Description: Applesauce

Why do you like it?
It just has apples in it! The list is: apples, water and Absorbic Acid(Vitamin C). There is no corn syrup, no chemicals, just natural ingredients. There are several kinds of Mott's Applesauce available so be sure to look for the one called "Natural." I use it in cooking and by itself as a snack with a little sprinkle of cinnamon. There are a few other brands that make natural applesauce but this one is usually priced better.

Real Jelly from real Fruit! For real!

Title of Product: Polaner All Fruit Spread

Description: Jelly

Why do you like it?
I was looking for a Grape Jelly with natural ingredients. This proved to be very difficult because most jelly have corn syrup. Polaner makes several different flavors and they are all fruit based. This one tastes great but it is a little more expensive for the amount you get than the big brands.

No Chunky Stuff Please!

Title of Product: Homemade Peanut Butter

Description: Fresh ground peanut butter

Why do you like it?
I was trying to find a brand of peanut butter that didn't have corn syrup or bad oils in it. I couldn't find one from a big brand so I visited the deli at my grocery store. They make their own peanut butter and the only ingredients are peanuts-that is it! I don't like chunky peanut butter so I was hesitant to try it but the peanut are ground up so small that it doesn't bother me at all.

Yummy Granola Bars!

Title of Product: Quaker - Simple Harvest Granola Bars

Description: Mulit-grain Granola Bars

Why do you like it?
I needed a snack to keep at work that was nutritious and didn't have nuts and wasn't too hard to chew (I have currently braces). These are the cinnamon-brown sugar variety and they are tasty. They are full of oatmeal, wheat, barley, apples, cranberries, cinnamon, and brown sugar. All natural ingredients and they are soft and chewy. These taste great without all the junk!
