Meghan's favorite things...

This is Meghan's favorite healthy grocery things, just like Oprah! Ok, so not really like Oprah's favorite things. Maybe some day I will have a show or could give away free stuff to my readers. Someday...

If you are like me, you are loyal to particular brands of grocery items. I'm uber-loyal to some brands, bread especially. I have been known to not even buy bread if they don't have the kind I like. I thought I would share with you some of the things that I don't leave the store without. All are Stretch Naked approved (in moderation of course)!

1. Skinny cow ice cream sandwiches: I ALWAYS have these on hand for when my sweet tooth strikes!

2. Nature's Own Double Fiber Wheat bread: I love fiber. For a lot of reasons...

3. Jif Natural Peanut Butter: I just switched from reduced fat to natural after reading a poignant article. Reduced fat has more sugar and sodium, so it kind of cancels out the reduction in calories and fat. This is good fat that keeps you full.

4. Horizon Organic Milk: Organic is the way to go for dairy in my opinion. Horizon tastes to clean and pure to me. Good for my morning coffee.

5. Starbucks roast coffee (Pike Place Roast): Just joined a buzz campaign and got this for free and I love it. It's strong, so I always add a little sweetness. I like the diet hot choclate packets to make it like a mocha.

6. Archer Farms Tex Mex Beans & Cornbread: This is one of the ready-to-make total meals in a box. I randomly bought it a few weeks ago and Ad man and I are hooked! To keep it calorie conscious, I don't use butter, use skim milk and use egg beaters. It still tastes delish.

7. Krusteaz fat free muffin mix (blueberry...mmm...): I love baked goods. It's no secret. These are so tasty. I like to sprinkle brown sugar - Splenda blend on top before baking for a crispy, sweet layer.

8. Wholly Guacamole 100-calorie pack guacamole: I put this on everything - sandwiches, pitas, veggies, tacos, etc.

9. Horizon organic vanilla, fat-free yogurt: Great with fruit and granola

10. Archer Farms Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Biscotti granola: I think I have talked about this before, but I am totally in love with this. It is my dessert at least one a week. It has a great sweet flavor and some lovely fiber. Did I mention I love fiber?

11. Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers: Whenever I am pressed for time, these are the best. They taste fresh, have no preservatives and yummy. Chicken Margherita is my fave. To keep myself full even longer, I try and have a side salad with these.

12. Any brand of local honey: I like honey on toast or as a sweetener in tea or even on my blueberry muffins.

13.Driscoll's raspberries: They are the sweetest

14. Hendrickson's Salad Dressing: This is the BEST dressing. It is fat-free and tangy-sweet. I use it on salads and as a marinade for chicken. I can always find it at Market Street or Kroger. Although I am boycotting Market Street because of their reckless overuse of thumbprint cookies. See earlier post.

15. Yellow Tail wine: I like pretty much all flavors. You never know when you need to cook with wine or have a swig depending on the severity of your mood. Kidding. I really only have one glass of wine a week. Seriously. I do. Babies will do that to you. You'd think you would drink more...but then you are way too tired to take care of them.

Well those are some of my faves. Please share what you love...
