1) Apples – perfect with peanut butter, dipped in yogurt, chopped up in oatmeal.

2) Dried and frozen fruit – good additions to yogurt, smoothies, and baked goods.

3) Yogurt – calcium and protein!

4) Dried beans – cheap and full of fiber

5) Eggs - another inexpensive source of protein, essential for baking

6) Oatmeal – in bowl or  in a cookie, I love oats!

7) Coffee and milk – Necessary upon waking.
Olive oil and vinegar – the perfect salad dressing and great for grilled veggies.

9) Whole grain bread/bagels – the variety and brand changes, but keeping it in the freezer keeps it fresh. Right now I’m lovin’ Rudi’s Organic bagels.

10) Peanut Butter – The perfect food.

And finally – COOKIES! These may not be necessary, but they sure do make me happy
