~ Here’s To Your Health ~
Below are some of the healthy, natural and organic
products that several family members and I use when cooking or baking. If I come across a recipe I’d like to
try, that calls for example; flour, oil, shortening, sugar,
soy sauce, confectioner’s sugar, food colorings, or salt,
I personally use a more natural product like many of the
ones that I have listed below. The recipes turn out just
as moist, eye appealing and are deliciously flavorful! I try
to make wiser, more nutritious food choices for my family
and friends because I know that it’s better for their health.
Almost any recipe can be altered using healthier alternatives.
If you desire to obtain any of the items below, call or visit your
local grocery or health food stores to see if they carry the product(s).
I have included several website addresses that may prove to be helpful
in obtaining information concerning the items you are interested in. As always,
you should check with your doctor to make sure these items will not interfere
with any medications you are taking or adversely affect any medical condition.
