Spring is officially here, and now is a great time to blitz your kitchen cupboards. While doing 'kitchen clearances' for clients it never ceases to amaze me how long people keep herbs & spices. (I have found them dating from the 1990s in too many kitchens!) Both are a fabulous way to add flavour to your cooking, so make sure they are not out of date.
You should also check labels & chuck out anything that contains E numbers. Many are linked with hyperactivity in children, and the foods that contain them are often loaded with salt, sugar & fat, & very low on nutrients. I'm really suggesting you 'chuck out the junk!' You know what I mean......those foods (and drinks) that you really don't need.
Next time you go shopping look on the 'healthy aisle' for salt free products.
I also recommend you stock up with brown rice & pasta, tins of chickpeas, beans & lentils, tinned tomatoes, extra virgin oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, nut butters, rice cakes, oat cakes, dried fruit, unsalted nuts, fruit & herbs teas, & of course a varied selection of herbs & spices.
Once you have a 'healthy storecupboard' you'll feel so much better!
Happy eating!
