What staple healthy products do you always have on hand?

Are their certain brands you gravitate to over others?

I usually buy Bionaturae whole-wheat pastas, Pacific organic chicken broth, Amy's canned soups and Healthy Valley's canned chili.

The Bionaturae products are the best. The pasta is very flavorful and they have canned tomatoes and tomato paste without added sugar and low in sodium. I also keep Eden Organic beans without added salt on hand and the Pacific low sodium chicken broth. In my freezer I keep Cascadian Farms fruits and vegetables and Alexia's potatoes, onion rings and the new dinner rolls with only one gram of fat.

I also always buy Muir Glen tomatoes, especially their fire roasted ones. Oh and of course Cascadian Farms frozen fruit for smoothies. Yum.

I dislike going to the store for one item so I try never to run out of Silk plain soymilk and Nature's Promise ( store organic brand) low sodium chicken broth. I always write with a magic marker on the carton of the broth the date I placed the unused part into the fridge.

Oh, I always do that too with broth. That way I"m not scratching my head, wondering when it was opened.

I have never heard of Bionaturae products. Where do you get them? I usually use Vitaspelt whole grain pasta.

I'm a big online shopper too. I can't be without dried tomatoes -- www.justtomatoes.com -- or my whole grain baking mixes from www.southavenfarm.com. Both are excellent from a health and weight-conscious standpoint.

Most of the stores in my area (natural foods and "regular") carry at least a few Bionaturae products. You can find more about them here.

I have to admit that Cascadian Farms drives me crazy. For all their organic goodness, imported raspberries from Chile just doesnt seem like a sensible idea to me.

I always keep certain Trader Joe's brand edamame and natural peanut butter in the house.
