When you begin your diet one of the things you will learn right away is that keeping a food journal is very helpful. Tracking all of the foods you eat will help you figure out which foods you will be eating as well as which foods you are not eating enough of.

When I was a kid, we never talked about a "budget for food". Food was inexpensive, safe, local, and readily available. We went to the butcher. We went to the bakery. We went to the seafood market, to the farmers market, and bought canned goods and paper products at the A&P. When my mom was a "housewife", we did this shopping trip two or three times a week, constantly picking up fresh food. But, things were different then.I grew up in suburban New York, not on a farm.

I have been on the road for almost four weeks, starting in Naples, Italy, with America's Chefs, where I cooked for 1,000 soldiers-and got the idea for Banana Rat Wing sauce. Named after the infamous rodent at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, BRW sauce is on sale at Grinders and we're donating a percentage of proceeds to military charities. After America's Chefs, I flew to South Carolina where I joined the "Guy Fieri Roadshow Tour," which is being filmed by Food Network. We're traveling across the United States with......READ MORE

In your grocery store, the item was picked a week ago and you pay for the gas to bring it to you, not to mention the spraying of wax or gassing of fruits that's added to the cost.When you shop at the farmers market, the item was picked within hours, if not a day or so.
