For me, although I would like to one day get a point to make all our food at home, it is not currently possible. We eat lots of fresh fruits and veggies. I avoid all canned foods (we use dried beans, boxed or fresh tomatoes), boxed foods and foods with high fructose corn syrup.

Where do you get boxed tomatoes?  I've switched from canned diced tomatoes to glass jarred tomato sauce in order to avoid the BPA in cans.  Interested in another option!

And, aren't dried beans a pain?  I'd love to switch, but it seems like way too much trouble.[/quote]

Regarding the beans, I read in "joy of cooking" that dried beans are vastly superior in taste and tried it.  It is true and not hard.  I soak black beans in water overnight.  The next evening, I start my receipe for black bean soup as usual.  The only difference, you should not add salt to the beans until late in the cooking process.  The beans have a great consistency, soft without beeing mushy and an almost nutty flavor.  Very good![/quote]
