6 Rules for Eating Wisely

1) Don't eat anything your great-great-great grandmother wouldn't recognize as food.
Well my German great-great-great grandmother wouldn't recognize the chipotle in adobo, and my Mexican great-great-great grandmother wouldn't recognize sauerkraut. But point taken.

2) Avoid foods containing high-fructose corn syrup.
Can't think of anything that contains it in our pantry or fridge, unless maybe some of the liqueurs? No soda pop here.

3) Spend more, eat less.
Spend more is hard to do when you are short on cash, but you can certainly eat better for the money. When I was a starving student I would beg bones from our local butcher and make my own stock, add a bunch of lentils, some onions, garlic and carrots, and live off of that for a week.

4) Pay no heed to nutritional science or the health claims on packages.
We don't buy much packaged food.

5) Shop at the farmer's market.
Every Saturday morning.

6) Eat with pleasure.
And with friends and family, absolutely!

Bon apetite
