New Fav Nutrition Sites

Check out these nutrition websites saturated with fantastic information.

FoodEssentials.com


Whether you have a food allergy (....lactards & gluterds) or steer clear of additives, food essentials will help you find brands free of certain ingredients. For example you can search "gluten free" and "cookies," for instance, and you'll get a list of tasty treats that will fit your dietary needs.
SuperCookRecipe Search, Served Well Done.

The second site, Super Cook, is pretty awesome because if you don't know what to do with a random food item all you have to do is type in the ingredients you have on hand. The site will then give you a list of recipes that include your secret leftover or random ingredient.
