Hungry Girl

By MAD21

A great website to check out for good deals,coupons, food advice and information is "Hungry Girl" where they have,"Tips and Tricks for Hungry Chicks."

Some of the topics they cover are, "Diet and Nutrition Headlines." "Fabulous finds and disastrous discoveries revealed...Eat 'em up!" "Dishing out Advice." Etc.

For example, right now they have a news story on some new items that were spotted at the grocery store. They purchased them, tried them out, and then wrote about what what they thought about the product.

Go check it out. Stop being hungry. Or at least get advice on what to eat so you aren't hungry!

Is The Food In That Mystery Container Still Good?

I am one of those people who pays close attention to expiration dates. Especially when it comes to eggs and meat. I'm probably more neurotic about it than I need to be, but I don't like to play guessing games with my family's health. Still Tasty is an awesome website that talks about how long foods last and how to store them. I highly recommend it!

Recipe Resources

Have you ever found yourself trying to decide what to make for a meal, and you only have a few food items to choose from because you haven't gone grocery shopping in two weeks? Cook Think is a great website where you can go and type in a food or spice and it will give you recipe ideas that include those ingredients. I've used it several times and have found some new favorites that our family likes to eat. Try it out:

Food.com is a site that will let you do recipe searches across several different recipe sites. It's a brand new site that is still being tested. They want you to sign in with your email and a password before accessing their site, but it's worth a try.

Keeping Track

Keep a separate notebook, or create a spread sheet to write down all of the nutritional info you find for the foods you eat. Keep it with your food diary so it’s handy. You’ll find that after about a month or two, it’s all you’ll need most of the time to keep track of things, since we all tend to eat the same things and at the same restaraunts.
