Small changes for a more "real" diet.

Some things to a "real food" diet can be quite overwhelming. I'm the first to admit it takes MUCH MORE TIME.   But there are somethings that you can switch over, that are really quite easy!
Here's a GREAT example.

Dried onion soup mix.  Yummy on meats, for burgers, in a roast, etc.  let's take a look at what we've got in a dried onion soup mix at the store:

first off, holy ingredient list. 

second off, "autolyzed yeast extract" = MSG.

oh..and what the crap is "anti caking agent" ew.

just a few of the nasties this thing contains.

Sooo...why not just make our own??

Here's a recipe:

2/3 cup dried minced onion

1 Tbsp parsley flakes

2 tsps onion powder

2 tsps turmeric

1 tsp celery salt

1 tsp sea salt

1 tsp favorite sugar/natural sweetener (can omit) 

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Mix all together and whoa-la Onion Soup Mix!

yes, you have to mix spices together.  Yes, you have to maybe buy some spices.  But make it in bulk! Then your set!

Baby steps to help us all step away from the nasty junk we put in our bodies FAR too often!
