(NOTE TO SELF: If at a point in time I am able to be on the giver to the pantry again, I am going to concentrate on healthier food options. It is so welcomed when a case of bottled water and/or fresh veggies/fruits are available as alternatives to canned veggies and beans. I think more considerations should be given to things to cook with as well -- oil, butter, milk, cheese, etc. to provide flavors to those that are food pantry recepients.)<BR><BR>If one is forced to buy inexpensive foods at the grocery stores, it is sad that most of the inexpensive items are the most caloric options. Why is that????<BR><BR>In reading an article on the net today, <a href="http://diet.fitness.msn.com/article/773090.armx">Snacking: Which foods are healthy, which are not -- 9 snacks that might surprise you</a>, it was certainly an eye-opening viewpoint. For example, I had always thought bagels were a good alternative; according to this article, it might not be the wisest choice. Right now, I am hungry for some grapes -- anyone got any grapes to share???? <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7497779-108917531126721586?l=bluebonnet2bthin.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bluebonnet Texanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14410519421022207004noreply@blogger.com1
