I love the green curry sauces in the jar, but they are loaded with sodium and other scary stuff.

But what I like about Pomi is the 10mg of sodium. Did I say like? I mean love. :)JenGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15199449999643697028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813295658825716967.post-58735319315484882702011-09-18T09:05:32.053-07:002011-09-18T09:05:32.053-07:00JenG,

Until I learn how to can my own, and really I'm just too lazy to learn, or maybe the whole "canning" thing intimidates me, I rely on my freezer.<br /><br />I've been to Italy a few times, once specifically to cook. The Italians don't use Pomi, and it's available there, the Italians use canned tomatoes, so if I absolutely have to use canned I buy the Italian brands.<br /><br />Looking in my pantry right now I only have the only canned products I have are:<br /><br />1 can of diced tomatoes for emergency.<br />10 cans of Herdez green salsa verde (sit was on sale at Target for $.59 a can<br />2 cans of Herdez salsa ranchera <br />1 can of lite coconut milk (I may or not use it within a years time)<br /><br />that's it.<br /><br />oh....and cat food!Tracy Reifkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868257020358013257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813295658825716967.post-75312770795088615902011-09-18T08:47:22.901-07:002011-09-18T08:47:22.901-07:00Maribel,

My biggest problem with that was tomatoes, until that is I found Pomi. That was my latest and greatest food find - ingredients: tomatoes. That's it! 10mg of sodium!! :)JenGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15199449999643697028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813295658825716967.post-82303800997197970782011-09-17T22:44:46.104-07:002011-09-17T22:44:46.104-07:00I tried a recipe once that was just diced chicken ...I tried a recipe once that was just diced chicken breast with a can of cream of mushroom soup served over rice.

Good God that seems like forever ago!<br /><br />What kills me is that some people still use "onion soup mix", in other words, salt and dehydrated onion, or what about the good ole can of "cream of mushroom soup"! Good God.

Ethiopian hasn't really made it's way where I live...all of the Ethiopian restaurants look suspicious....<br /><br />As far as being a food snob....I just want people to prepare and cook their own foods. After that how "clean" the ingredients are or how much they eat is secondary. Taking responsibility for feeding yourself and your family is what's important.Tracy Reifkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868257020358013257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813295658825716967.post-29508783747460348382011-09-17T04:49:36.936-07:002011-09-17T04:49:36.936-07:00I like how you did your jars, they look pretty.
