Thanks for sharing this information. Get a solution for windows 10
As a doctor, I am impressed at the evidence behind the Mediterranean diet, as substantiated by the low incidence of coronary heart disease and longer life expectancy in that population. That diet is primarily plant-based with lots of fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains, and infrequent meats and dairy. Olive oil is the primary source of fat. Weekly consumption of fish, and daily low to moderate amounts of red wine are also included.
My new kitchen pantry was just finished, and needs filling. It’s winter here in Upstate NY, it’s snowing outside, and the nearest WS store is a TWO HOUR drive. Would so love to have this Wellness Collection in my house, without ever having to leave the house!
I am vegetarian and it is hard to find food like this, so I need this!!! <3
I am a vegetarian forever and just tried some of the braising sauces to cut down my prep time. They are pretty amazing. I make a lot of homemade sauces and curries so its fun to compare and put my own twist on them.
I want to taste this. Shopping with a list means you pass by the fattening items, and stick to your plan.
My best tip is to read ingredients and to load up on some of the great cookbooks out there that specialize in healthy recipes
Eat fresh food, don’t bring fattening treats into the house, pay attention to what goes into your mouth – no mindless snacking!
When you are in the mood for a snack cut up a piece of fruit. Fruit can be filling, delicious, and healthy!
Control your portions!
Take the time to make your meal a family event. All can contribute a little and all will benefit from a healthy meal.
My best tip for wellness: eating locally grown, in season, produce, enhancing flavors with fresh herbs and spices.
Keep a small hand notebook with you and write down everything you eat then translate your notes into a food diary as a means to become more aware of what you put into your body.
Eating well is eating the freshest, most naturally, locally grown foods available.
Plan ahead! We make our dinner menu for the week before grocery shopping on the weekend. Makes it more difficult to buy excess and unhealthy items.
I always make sure to eat some protein first to keep my blood sugars stable. I find it also makes me get fuller quicker and I eat less at each meal.
I LOVE everything you offer in your stores! Stock up when I can (now have 3 cans of the peppermint hot chocolate). I think these healthy products might (?) make up for my passion for the hot chocolate – right?
I believe in variety. I love to eat, cook pretty well, and know a few wonderful restaurants in my town[Baltimore, MD].
Vegetables in everything!
Love your sites recipes! Also like the idea of sharing the sites you like w/ your viewers!!! Have not tried any of the recipes yet, but look forward shopping for items needed to make that happen very soon !!!
I try to incorporate fresh fruits and vegetables in my daily diet and minimize my consumption of highly processed food.
Visit the public market to get fresh produce – then plan your meals for the week around the veggies! Cooking at home allows you to monitor the ingredients you put in – and let’s you get creative with how to make each meal healthy AND delicious.
snack every few hours to avoid beng too hungry and eating the whole pantry!
The Best way to eat well is to make food at home. From simple fresh and as organic as possible ingredients.Please don’t forget to add a dash of love to everything.
Eating what is “in season” and buy from local growers. It saves gas and the food is fresh!
looks delicious!
A food scale! It’s the best way to keep portions in control and still enjoy some indulgences without going overboard.
I’m eating well by cutting out sugar – or at least a lot of sugar! I used to eat so much junk: graham crackers, candy bowl at work. Now that I’m cutting it out, it’s amazing to realize how much sugar I was eating.
although I may not need Gluten Free I am all over eating healthy and with my blood pressure that isn’t to bad I do watch what I eat. Would love to try these!
small portions, biggest meal of the day before 3pm
By best tip for eating well is be mindful every time you eat and prepare your meals. Don’t rush to eat something. Be thoughtful about what you plan to prepare. There are days where I’m feeling a bit sluggish & want to grab the first thing I see (cold cuts, chips, etc). But then I think about how much better I’d feel if I took the time to make a hearty salad. My boyfriend is a great support to me and he’ll help me cut up all the vegetables, etc. Once the effort has been made and we’re sitting down at the table, I realize how worth it it was to put it all together because it tastes so good and so refreshing – it’s like “medicine” for me, and it immediately makes me feel better.
Love Williams sonoma..Have yet to try the Wellness Collection!
My fabulous tip for eating well is having your own garden, farm or greenhouse. I grow all my vegetables, herbs and fruit in my Shangri-La garden. This way I know exactly where my ingredients come from and I manage my own soil. I add nutrients from my compost pile and never use toxins or sprays on my plants. Everything that grows in my garden is 100% organic. I plan to convert my backyard patio to a solarium so I can expand my garden and grow heirloom varieties!!
I tried the artichoke pizza sauce saturday night – but made it with zuchini as my pasta and turkey meatballs – it was sooo delish!
I bought all the collection because I’ve been trying to eliminate sugar, etc…it’s awesome to find ready made items that make dinners and lunch quick!
I eat better when I plan better. Anytime I have to make quick, last minute dining choices, I usually make the wrong choice. Planning out my meals and prepacking healthy snacks to take with me to work helps me to eat well.
My wife and I make a healthy juice each day with our Breville juicer that way we get all our veggies and fruits which we would not normally eat on a daily basis, example we use kale,romaine lettuce,beets and beet greens,carrots,apples oranges,pears.
If it’s W.S., it’s gotta’ be good! Oh no, something else for me to get “hooked” on!
Eat organic/LOCAL farms, no salt, sugar added, no fat, less dairy. Eat more fish than meat and as far as fruit veggies eat seasonal.
portion control. everything in moderation. I dont believe in depriving myself if i really want something but you have to keep it all in track! i use a calorie counter
I will be so happy to win . I always have a list of healthy items in my grocery shopping and that’s all I buy and the best part I save money.
buy local, fresh, colorful food. it makes it so much more fun to eat and look at!
Eat local, Eat at home and Eat together as a family.
Eating well is choosing foods in their natural form
The best way to eat healthily is to shop locally at farmers’ markets. Love the yummy fresh food!
Home cook meals (nothing fried) and only eating out on the weekends. We also have been juicing.
i start each day with a green smoothie. it lets me start my day with 2-3 servings of veggies/fruits
Eat unprocessed foods and plan your meals ahead of time so you aren’t tempted to grab fast food.
I like to pack fruit and vegetables to take to work so I am not as tempted to eat the goodies my coworkers bring in.
I try to eat lots of fruit and vegetables and have cut out all soda.
This sounds amazing! As a Registered Nurse,
I understand the power of healthy living. I could definitely use this package to help my
Household reach our wellness potential!
My best tip for eating well is growing my own vegetables and canning and freezing them. Also, keeping my pantry well stocked with staples and wonderful seasonings to keep the homemade dishes varied and appetizing.
My best tip for eating well is: don’t bring home junk food. But if you must, then bring enough for that day, only. If the stuff isn’t in my house, I will eat healthy.
We write out a meal plan for the week including lots of fish and leafy greens. We are part of a wonderful CSA where we always have tons of local, fresh food to incorporate!
Play ahead.
Go in for a local CSA share and you’ll have lovely local produce to enjoy through the summer, at bargain prices. Freeze the excess so it doesn’t go to waste and enjoy a taste of summer in the winter. That glut of zucchini makes great chocolate zucchini muffins right about now!
plan ahead!
My best tip for eating well is to frequent local markets (I belong to a CSA) and plan/prep ahead.
balanced diet but with loads of fruits and vegetables and drinking lots of water. Avoiding fast food and lots of processed stuff as well.
I cook with fresh organic produce and eat predominantly vegetarian meals.
My best tip for eating well is to read the nutrition labels on pre-packaged foods.
The development of healthy, tasty, gluten free foods that include nice sauces to keep on hand make my life sooooo much easier! COOL!
I gather information from my local growers through Twitter on what is available and keep Evernote recipes handy to utilize those ingredients. Always exciting, as are the great ideas I find through the Wiliams-Sonoma resources!
Planning, making meals on the weekend to cover the week, and willpower.
Planning ahead, for sure – if you don’t have a plan, it’s a lot easier to just run for fast food!
I love serving a mixture of fruits and vegetables with my meals so that everyone has all the vitamins covered they need. The main course is a delicious cut of meat or fish prepared in a healthy, tasty way.
I just bought the artichoke, roasted garlic and caper pasta sauce on Saturday and it was DE-lish!!!
I cut up a bunch of veggies on Sundays, so that I always have a healthy snack on hand. I also am trying to cut out all processed foods.
Less Salt!
Williams-Sonoma Wellness would be a great way to jump start my eating habits.
Having a daughter with severe and life threatening allergies, I have done my research and gotten a great education in all things gluten free, green market fresh foods, and farm grown healthy foods. That education helps me make great decisions about what to purchase, prepare and cook for my family. I can’t stress how being informed helps keep my family healthy and allows us all to feel confidant about what we eat!
My tip for eating well is to look for ingredients that are lower in fat, cholesterol, or sodium content. For example, most cheeses come in reduced fat, and there are low sodium sauces. The flavor is still pronounced, but the ingredient is healthier for you.
Plan ahead. Make sure you have ingredients on hand to whip together a meal at the last minute. That way, you avoid the fast food stops for dinner.
Subscribe to a CSA!
Yum!
Tip for eating well: foods high in nutrients with No additives. Eating slowly and making meal time a family event!
We grow our own food and try to buy locally grown whenever possible. Cooking with fresh ingredients and herbs is the best!
Sounds like some great healthy opportunities for home cooking!
When I cook, I know exactly what’s going into my body
I dedicated myself to baking bread at least once a week – the process makes me want to spend time finding other ways to be healthy.
Amazing products to enjoy and stay healthy
Began eating gluten free recently, and am very excited to try WS line of products.
My best tip for eating well…buy fresh food! We signed up for a CSA last summer (even though we have a pretty big garden of our own) and it forced us to eat LOTS of fruits & vegetables every single day! It’s so easy & delicious to eat well if you have the right ingredients, and that all begins with fresh. You won’t find any prepared foods in our kitchen! However, this line looks delicious & I can’t wait to try it! Shawn 🙂
Since my husband and I retired we do a lot of grazing. Having these easy to use products would encourage us to cook and eat more nutritious food!
Yummy
Planning what your going to make and shopping locally is my way of eatting healthy!
Sauces sound delicious
It looks positively scrumptious!
I love juicing.
I would love to win. I need help in getting healthier–foods as well as exercise!
I’ve always tried to eat healthy … I wish I could afford to buy all these products. Winning would be SO awesome. I Love Williams-Sonoma !!! Pick Me Please : )
I am so glad to see gluten free! I would love to get this!
Be adventurous! Strive to try one new vegetable, fruit, or grain each week. Then search for ways to prepare/ enjoy them.
You have to plan ahead to eat healthy and winning these great ingredients to have on hand would help me make healthier meals!
Eating well is so important and has become so much easier to be successful. It turns out that what the dieticians and nutritionists have been telling us is so very true – portion control is key, fiber is an absolute necessity and taste is essential – all three elements to a solid well-balanced diet and it is actually easy to achieve. A little effort is all we need.
Yum, thanks!
Drink plenty of water, delete simple carbohydrates, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, eat meat modestly and last but not least, Add a glass of wine to lunch or dinner.
Just go for a variety of unprocessed foods. Get creative.
My husband and I love to cook together and planning ahead of time helps everything. Using fresh local vegetables and always cooking once and eating twice.
Everything in moderation but try to stick to organics and fresh, local produce whenever possible.
My Mom’s advice: Everything in moderation!
my best tip for eating well is not to purchase unhealthy products. just don’t do it.
What wonderful flavor combinations! I am 8 months pregnant and really making an effort to eat well now and while breastfeeding. I could definitely see myself buying several of these on a regular basis once I try them…
Starting to “eat clean” and it feels great! Made a big pot of clean chili, will eat it all week!
I would love to win this prize, everythnig looks yummy, especially the Meyer lemon! My favorite!!
In 2012, we cut our sodium/salt intake by not eating frozen or processed foods and only eating out 3-4 times a month. I would guess we cut our sodium by at least 60-75%.
Pick me!
Love all of these products!
Eating small amounts of non processed foods, focusing on locally sourced fruits and veggies five times a day.
My best tip is to keep plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables on hand at all times. Their limited shelf life will encourage you to eat them over an unhealthy snack.
My comment is, “Yum'” 🙂
Healthy Tip: Make sure you have lots of different colors on your plate and avoid white.
Having a pantry stocked with essential staples is a necessary part of eating well.
Love your recipes. I’m cooking healthier most everyday.
Cook at home from the items you find in the perimeter of your grocery store–vegetables, fruit, bakery, fresh cut meats, and dairy, rather than the processed foods, which tend to be in the aisles.
Eating fruits & veggies that are local & in season. Organic meats – who needs the extra hormones!
THis looks wonderful and I would love to introduce these amazeing flavors to my familys dinner menu. What fun I would have…
Eat mostly fruits and vegetables in a variety of colors.
Have great ideas for all these sauces !!
Know whats in your food.
When going out to the groceries, only buy food that is good for you. You can indulge a bit by something not relatively healthy but tasty, but make sure it’s only ate as a maximum of once a day and always in portioned amounts. Unless of course if it’s your birthday. 😉
Best tip for eating well – eat lots of fresh vegetables, slow down while eating and chew your food well. Vegetables are good for you, and can be very filling as well. In addition, I’ve been told l that if I don’t rush through my food, I will probably NOT over eat.
Eat colorful foods!
Get to your local farmers market! And get your family around the table every day!!
We have been eating organic fruits and vegetables, as much as possible, and juicing, blending at least one meal a day, i.e. smoothies with added protein power and soups. Also, eat lots of salads and grilled/steamed veggies.
Do your cooking at home that way you know what”s in it!
My tip (s) would be: “think before you reach for that chip or Frito,” and “take away the bad foods and replace them with healthy alternatives.” Another tip, put fresh fruit out in a basket where you can see it.
I maintain a well-balanced diet each day and every meal by making sure my plate has at least one daily serving from each of the five main food groups!
When shopping at the grocery store try to buy most or all of your items from the perimeter shelves (fruits, veggies, dairy, meats, etc) and avoid the middle aisles (processed foods).
My best tip for eating well is to prepare my own meals from scratch. Eating out is something I try not to do. I like to menu plan and never go shopping on an empty stomach.
I buy fresh veggies & fruit,eat meat sparingly, and always cook from scratch, then I know exactly what is in my dishes.
I think the first step to eating well is to just quit eating some of the things that most have been eating on a regular basis..for example: no high fructose corn syrup, no sodas, no diet ANYTHING, no fast food meals, no artificial sweeteners..I know..I know..In the beginning, it will be hard! Making your own food, at home, so you will know what is in it is the most important thing to start doing, right now! Have you read some of those labels, lately?..Scary, isn’t it? I trust Williams Sonoma to list all of the ingredients & sorce of import. Everyone should be so trustworthy! I can’t wait to try some of these..they look so good!
I love this rule: don’t eat what your great-grandparents would not recognize as food.
Homemade food taste so much better..cause it’s made with love!
Planning out my meals in advanced and preparing anything I can on Sunday, that way on the weekdays everything is ready and I won’t give into junk food just for the conscience. I alway make sure to have dark chocolate on hand for those time I just need something sweet
It’s like having a spa at home! And since I can’t eat gluten these all look wonderful to me!
The best thing I ever did to help my husband & I start eating better was subscribing to a CSA. Fresh veggies every week, and great recipes included! I hope I win… I love Williams-Sonoma and these products sound great!!
Having quality ingredients and plenty of time! Looks delicious!
Now I can feed my oldest daughter the vegetarian when she comes home to visit. Thank you.xoxo
The braising sauces look especially good…
I grow as much as possible!
Amazing collection. Purchase what you need — reduce waste.
Planning meals and eating at home are best for the healthiest eats
This is awesome!! I just started out the new year & have cut out gluten & dairy which is hard given how they’re almost engrained in our diets & hard to avoid….but it’s so worth it! I feel great & winning this would help so much! Fingers crossed!!!! 😉
I’d like to eat well as so many would too … But when good food is so costly … What can we all do? We may grow in our gardens … What we can’t buy in stores … But how do we save them … And in what should we store??? But now is Sonoma of the William kind … and they’ve got a contest … that sounds good and fine … so I’m entering Dear Sirs this little ditty of mine!!! …
Everything in moderation. I find if I deprive myself completely of something I will only want it more 🙂
Plan, plan, plan. I always make a calendar and am sure to incorporate new recipes to keep eating well exciting!
Love eating healthy, glad to see new sauces
From WS, can’t wait to try them all!
Yum! Yum! Pick me =)
Planning out meals before grocery shopping ensures having all the ingredients and sets me up for success in making wholesome meals!
Always start with fresh and raw produce.
The best way to eat healthy is planning and preparing yourself! If you have a plan & goal you can never go wrong.
This product line looks very interesting. Can’t wait to try some!
That Wellness Collection looks yummy!
My tip would be to incorporate whole grains whenever possible in your diet … We indians make roti ( whole wheat tortillas) everyday by our hands sometimes multiple times a day … And we eat them with sabzi ( vegetables) which we cook fresh everyday too .. Try to avoid refined sugar by incorporating fresh fruits, stevia extract or agave nectar to sweeten up things … And the most important of all … Drink luke warm water (like from the tap) everytime in a while which helps in melting body fat, relieves joint aches and pain and clears your system … Never drink ice cold water
My favourite way to eat well is to eat in moderation. Portion sizes can be outrageous, so I eat until I am full, not until my plate is clean, and save the rest! And cooking for yourself, as opposed to dining out or purchasing already-prepared food, makes it so easy to only consume what you need.
When shopping at the grocery store, I try to steer clear of the middle aisles. Most of the fresh, colorful, wholesome food is at the edge of the store – along or near the far walls. I also try to prepare and plan all of my meals for the week on Sunday. That way, there is less of a chance that I will indulge in something fast and easy (i.e. unhealthy) during the week.
It all sounds wonderful!
My tip for eating well is planning out my menus a month ahead of time. It’s based on the season & I have a theme each night such as Meatless Monday & Taco Tuesday.
Read labels so you know what you’re putting into your body; better still, stick to whole, natural foods!
I keep a food log so I know when I am eating well and when I am craving or feeling like I need more sustenance. Then I can figure out when I need to take a walk, exercise more, read a book or simply drink more water! It has been working well for me for the past year I have lost 50 lbs!!!
Looks good to me:)
Cook at home and plan ahead. Meatless meals are good too.
Eating Well: The less ingredients, the more whole the food and better it is for you. Read the ingredient list.
To eat healthy on a budget, combine fresh fruits and veg with inexpensive ingredients like dried beans, oatmeal and pastas, a homemade loaf of bread, and dairies and you’ll have everything you need for soups, salads, pastas, and breakfasts.
Quality ingredients make the difference. Love Meyrs lemons. My fried brought some back from her dad’s backyard in CA. They made our fresh catfish delicious!
I try to eat a big salad for lunch everyday to make sure I get my veggies.
Always have fresh fruit and produce on hand. They are an easy “go to” when you’re hungry and much healthier than processed food.
My best tip for eating well is know what your eating!!
This wellness collection looks awesome!
My best tip for eating well is to eat home cooked meals and counting calories. I plan my meals for the week and make a grocery list accordingly. I cook bigger batches and freeze individual portions that I have for lunches.
We have tried several recipes of gluten free..the recipe I have for gluten free brownies is too die for! So Moist. And rich!
With a son that suffers from Crohn’s..it would be awesome to win and have some fresh, new ideas!
Love your downtown Seattle store!
Sit down and plan ahead! This helps you avoid those last minute “bad choices”. Also, avoid eating late at night but if you need to snack try making them ahead of time as well.That way you can reach in and grab something healthy versus the leftover pizza that your buddies made you buy for the game last weekend…just saying…lol..
I’m eating healthier and more home cooked meals this year. I love all of the ingredients in the Wellness Collection!
I am an avid cook and baker. I live on a college campus and cook for and with students all the time. I also have a gluten intolerance. I would love to try your products. I also post at least three times a week on FB about food I have made every week. My friends listen religiously to my opinions about what I suggest when it comes to food. Pick me!!!! 🙂 t
Would love to have these wonderful seasonal ingeredients to use for warming seasonal meals
Yes, please!
I’ll take it all, looking to start my life over on a good note.
My best tip is to invest in great food preparation tools! I also keep my kitchen stocked with healthy foods that I can prepare quickly & easily.
Grow a garden- even if its a porch garden with pots..also just do not buy it- so what if there is a coupon and you save half off- still not good for you at half the price.
Always waiting for new and natural things to try!!
My tip for earig well is fresh and real food. I like knowing what I’m putting into my body to stay healthy
My best suggestion is to slow down and savor your food. Servings per day…4 fruits/veggies, 3 protein, 2 grains, 1 nuts/oil. 4-3-2-1 a day. Proper portions.
Eat fresh, eat local, eat unprocessed!
Eating well to me is about making lifestyle changes that I can really live with. It’s not about a quick fix, it’s about thinking about the future of your body.
I think portion control is a big step to help prevent from over eating and improve overall well being.
For winter, lots of smoothies from fresh and frozen berries . Plenty of vegetables, stir fries , sweet potatoes, soups to keep you full and warm.
My best tip for eating well is shop ahead, shop in a store you trust, and know you have healthy choices available at home whenever the urge to eat strikes..
Best tip: plan out meals for the whole week so that you’re not figuring out what to eat when you’re hungry!
I like to prepare meals early each week after making a trip to the store for fresh ingredients and organic produce, writing down a list of meals for the week so I don’t by excess food I feel I need to eat before it goes bad. I prep vegetables to dip in hummus, saute with garlic, or add to sauces and soups. I also like to make a hearty pasta or quinoa salad for lunches so I don’t grab food while I’m on the go. A little bit of preparation goes a long way!
These look like great ways to spice up my meal routine!
Looks fabulous and healthy!
Part of wellness is eating fresh wholesome foods. Your collection looks interesting
I think eating carbs before noon. Then protein & veges afterwards.
what a delightful way to enter this new year of health
Eat organic, plant-based whole foods.
Eating well at home is easy; don’t keep junky food in the house! if you have high fiber crackers and carrot sticks available, and no candy bars or cheese puffs, when snack time rolls around, you will eat the carrots and fiber crackers..
Cook from scratch as often as possible and constantly try new recipes. That and a great glass of wine!!!!
Farmer’s markets. I get amazing produce and get to spend social time with friends and family out in the Florida sun – all year.
I love that William Sonoma has this great Wellness Collection
My top for eating healthy is to plan meals ahead – that way I am less inclined to snack on junk food or to go through the drive-through.
I sneak veggies in wherever I can! I especially try to get a serving in at breakfast, that way I’m already on my way to 5+ servings before I head out the door.
Trying to eat more fresh local vegetables, and less red meat.
Can’t wait to try these pasta sauces! Your Pumpkin Parmesan sauce is my go to sauce for whole wheat pasta….I add roasted winter vegetables and my family devours it!
Eat fresh! The end. :^}
I agree than planning ahead is the most effective way to eat well. When you’re having to figure out what to eat last-minute, your choices can be limited, and the “fastest” option is rarely the healthiest.
This all sounds wonderful. Whoever wins will be lucky indeed.
The best tip is to plan! Cook over the weekend so you have easy healthy lunches for the week and make it simple to throw together dinner when you get home from work.
no soda, no fast food watch red meats and eat your fruits and vegtables
Best tip for eating well…find someone who will keep you in check 😉
i eat my veggies and fruit, and protein first to fill up on the good stuff!
Eat simply – simple foods with simple ingredients. We try to avoid the over processed foods as much as possible.
Eat foods that make you feel good – and if you’re honest with yourself, it’s the freshest food straight from the earth that makes you feel best!
My best tip for eating well is to plan ahead. Plan what and how much you will eat so good choices can be made when you’re not hungry or under a time crunch. Buy, cook, and package (for daily portions and/or for the freezer) accordingly.
Using spices helps to adds flavor and helps to off-set fats you are working to eliminate.
So excited to see healthy choices available
Eat local–and double up on veggies instead of having a starch side.
i lost 70 pounds so far and this would help me even more on my journey! I’d love to win!
Diagnosised with pre diabetes , heart disease, and high blood pressure I have been extremely interested in improving my overall nutition. Having healty choices available with recipe ideas is awesome !!! It will help people improve their health overall. Thank you!!!!!
You can’t go wrong when you go healthy! Love this!
Trying to eat healthier! This would be perfect!
We eat at home … And keep lots of fresh fruits and veggies!!
This sounds great!
I like cooking from scratch for better control of what I’m putting into my body. I also like munching on fruits and vegis rather than chips or junk food. And if I know I can’t eat all my fruit before it spoils, I’ll freeze it and eat them frozen or turn them into fruit juice pops.
In order to eat well, you need to exercise portion control and eat foods with little (or no) preservatives.
Concentrate on the fresh fruits and vegetables that are in season…..especially frequenting local farmers markets for locally grown products. Not only do you support your local growers, you know where your food is coming from!
Melted Leek certainly sounds intriguing. 🙂
fresh is best, highly processed and refined food with a super long shelf life is not good, buy small quantities often.
Have breakfast every day, even if you slept late. You can always grab a greek yogurt or some fruit on the fly.
I love shopping at Williams Sonoma!
I get so many ideas just by browsing around the shop.
I am not always the most healthy eater but I think leaving fresh fruit and raw vegetables in sight makes it easier to get better. Fruits are always in a basket on the kitchen counter and raw veggies are cut up and sitting in a bowl. Simple.
Would love to try these products! 2013 we as a family are resolving to eat healthier, more organic vegetables, as many non GMO products as possible and juice/blend a lot! Thank you for this wonderful selection of products!
Staying hydrated (yes, even in Winter is key!) we love lots of healthy (mostly vegetarian) soups, stews, teas and smoothies. Some of our favorites are carrot-ginger soup, tomatoe basil, vegetarian barley. Ginger and Green tea with lemon and honey, fresh fruit sprintzers. Mango-peach smoothies w/ sliced strawberries add some coconut milk or water for an extra treat 🙂
Have fresh fruits and veggies washed and cut up so they are readily available to snack on. We don’t keep junk food in the house either. If the temptation isn’t there, it’s easier to not eat junk.
Pick me. Pick me. Pick me…… Love everything you sell…. 🙂
Always easier to eat better when you know what is going in your body. So cooking your meals will help monitor that.
Lots of oranges, vegi sides, and hot tea.
So excited to try this!
Looks like a good set. It would be nice to win.
Preparedness! Shopping local farmer’s markets and eating fresh, organic, when possible, vegetables and fruits. A well stocked refrigerator and pantry are keys to healthy eating!
Sound yummy!
Use fresh, whole non processed ingredients. Fresh is always the best.
I love them!
Winning this would be awesome!!!
These products look fantastic! Hoping to try them out.
I love the collection !
I’m on day 14 of the 21 day vegan start program. Haven’t lost any weight, but I like so far. It’s ot to hard if you’ve planned food to it. If you don’t plan I think it would be hard to do.
Learning to love kale!
I add cinammon to all my coffee, tea, oatmeal. I add lemon juice and rind to most of my food, other than breakfast food. I try a new grain every month and have not found one I didn’t like. Try to buy seasonal. Bought a pressure cooker to keep nutrients in.
Go for big taste and small portions.
Eating well is knowing more about your food. It begins by choosing organic, fresh, locally grown foods and by learning new and healthier ways to prepare them because my health and that of my family begins with what we eat.
The Meyer lemon sauce and the madras curry braising sauce are to die or.
My daughter has influenced me to make healthier choices.
The best way to eat well is to eat a variety of colorful foods, if you used dark greens for Monday, then add red foods on Tuesday, Wednesday choose yellow foods, choose foods rich in nutrients and color and never be afraid to mix it up! Eat organic when every possible 🙂
I am eating vegetarian and mostly organic for 6 months. Love all the fresh fruits and vegetables.
Getting healthy is a proactive measure for me to reduce the family pattern of high blood pressure and cholesterol . I also want to be a good example for my kids.
Free or not this stuff is good and good for you!
Shop using local farmers markets, in off season, shop the outskirts of the grocery store, all fresh ingredients
My best current tip is to remember that my body is a machine that needs proper fuel to operate, NOT a bin to dump trash into.
My best tip: drink water! Lots of refreshing water!
Vegetarian ingredients for healthy cooking sounds good to me!!
My best advise for eating well is to use portion control ,healthy ingredients and to maintain a active lifestyle. Even just a walk around the block can help keep you healthy.
The best way to eat well fruits and veggies in season and locally produced…
AMAZING yummies. We are trying so hard in our family of me and 5 men to eat better and raise our body awareness and our earthly awareness..they go hand in had. We love your receipts!!!
We do not eat fast food. If we eat out, it is full serve restaurants with healthier choices than fast food. If we need a quick lunch. we choose a sandwich shop so we control what goes on it and in us. This means LOTS of home cooking.
Try to eat real foods, not processed.
Use FRESH ingredients!
Sometimes being healthy is not easy.It’s nice to see Williams-Sonoma is lending a helping hand to those of us committed to making a change.
We are a gluten free family. Always interested in trying new things.
These will make our meals come together effortlessly!
Yummy…and healthy too!
Eating fresh, local, organic foods as much as possible is very important to me. I try to make as many meals and snacks as possible from scratch, and do my best to stay away from processed foods.
Eating well to me means fresh, seasonal produce and no hormone, antibiotic-free meats. Also, eating appropriate portion sizes is very important. Then you can eat pretty much what you like.
I did not know you carried this line of products. I must come check them out.
My best tip for eating well is to plan ahead. If you don’t know where your next meal is coming from then it’s easier to be unhealthy. You can shop for the week and know in your mind what you plan on having for each meal.
Making things from scratch, using fresh products, serving small quantities , using creativity with both fresh & dry spices, and eating only when hungry!
Keeping healthy snacks in the house to nibble is the key to success (and so is purging the health-trap foods in your pantry). Snacking is an act of least resistance. If it’s easier to get to healthy snacks, they’re the ones you’re going to go for.
I think being vegetarian helps me eat well! It keeps me on track and feeling great.
my best tip: bright colors, and every shade of green!
My best tip for eating well is to make everything I can myself. No preservatives or any unpronounceable ingredients.
grow your own vegetables!
Love your site & all the great cookware.
Eat lots of beans & rice mixed with fresh salsa its a great dinner and inexpensive & healthy easy to fix in a flash when you can’t think of
doing alot of cooking or don’t know what you want, or have alot groceries & money.
I only cook salt-free, my husband has high blood pressure and doesn’t eat salt. I’m very happy to see you now carry the salt-free seasonings at Williams-Sonoma. I rarely make sugary sweets anymore, I am concentrating on healthy homemade foods. Using lots of fresh vegetables and less meat these days.
Plant-based! Simple but true- the more true plant based the food the less processed garbage you are eating.
Making things from scratch and resisting sweet temptations 🙂
I love the myer lemon seasoning 🙂
I plan meals with color, variety, and freshness in mind. I’m lucky enough to live right by a wonderful market so I can shop the day of to get the freshest ingredients. Also, incorporating more plant based ingredients into meals is key. Going to the technique classes every weekend at Williams-Sonoma has really introduced me to new, wonderful foods and exciting ways to prepare them!
Nice collection!
Three weeks ago I started a gluten free lifestyle. Your product will be a great asset to this lifestyle change.
Sounds fabulous! I have been eating vegetarian for the past 18 years, so this sounds great to me 😉
drinking lots and lots of water is a must
My tip for eating well is a morning smoothie full of blueberries, a banana and strawberries. That simple decision in the morning makes you feel so good and so good about yourself that you will focus on eating well the rest of the day 🙂
I use tried and true recipes with whole food ingredients as a mainstay and try new things once a week or so. Cooking at home as much as possible is the best way to eat well!
Eating plenty of fresh fruits and veggies and less processed food!
Pick Me! Pick Me!
Both my husband & I are both in our middle 60’s and want to improve our health by eating better things in our everyday meals. The package you are giving away
looks very inviting.
Buying local produce supports small farms and keeps me eating better, and making my own meals from scratch lets me control exactly what I’m putting into my body. No icky chemicals, preservatives, or MSG.
Don’t buy junk and you won’t eat it!
moderation is the best advice and try to avoid flour,sugar and processed foods
My best tip for eating well is to buy local and in season ingredients and to be mindful of how I am preparing them – steaming, roasting and baking instead of frying. Just making better choices.
I am very interested in trying these items.
I’m so glad to see you have the salt-free seasonings now.I would love to try them. I would very much like to try the other sauces as well. The soups sound good too!
I love using fresh vegetables when I cook but I like to be able to use home canned or organic canned food when it’s out of season.
Keep healthy snacks on hand like grapes and carrots
Having a family like mine, that will try anything and eat anything. So it’s very easy here to cook healthy and from scratch.
Eating well is important to me. Eating well equals feeling well!
I love to cook and feed people. Feeding them healthy, good for you food that taste wonderful is sheer joy!
Even though my family and I love meat, we go meatless at least twice a week, and enjoy fish and/or seafood at least once a week.
I love that this collection is gluten free. I love to cook but am having a hard time since I becoming gluten free. Most of my favorites seem to include gluten and it is disappointing when it doesn’t turn out the same. Your sauces make it easy to cook amazing gluten free meals for the entire family!
Eating a plant-based, high-quality diet that is free of chemicals/preservatives and predominantly cooked at home.
I try to know the farmers that grow the food I eat and feed my family. I read labels! I know what I am putting into my body.
Eat what you know (which means you know whats in it and where it came from). If you can stand behind the what, where from and when of your food, then it is healthy and good for you in more ways than you will ever be able to count!
They are all sounds good! I can’t wait to try them :). Thank you.
Stay away from white things! Every season has lots of vegetables and fruit, and we really rarely need three or 4 courses of food when one stir fry or stew pot will take care of our needs!
We try to purchase fresh produce at a local farmers market. What definitely helps is to focus on local seasonal ingredients.
Love the idea of salt free seasonings! And the Meyer lemon simmer sauce sounds to die for!
That chili look amazing!! Perfect Winter dish!
oh yum, the lemon/peppercorn sauce sounds like it would be delicious on chicken. . Any convenience food that makes it easier to eat healthier with all natural (and few!) ingredients sounds like a winner. crossing my fingers to win
I’ve been trying to eat healthier and incorporate more organic foods into my diet and have signed up for free nutritional workshops at my local library on healthy eating on a budget and cooking vegetarian. I also rely on local assistance for some of my food items and organic food items are a rarity. This would be a welcome addition to my pantry and my nutritional goals.
Plan meals before going to the grocery and only bring home good stuff for my family. I love cooking from scratch with fresh veggies from my garden.
I have been enjoying the recipes Williams -Sonoma has been sending to my inbox – they are nutritious,satisfying, and healthy!
Love, Love, Love that WS has released a wellness collection! My tip for eating well is always shopping the perimiter of the store and avoid the middle as much as possible. My town does not have Whole Foods or other organic stores, so I have to make the best of what we have. Fresh, colorful food is the way to go.
Eating fresh local fruits and vegetables is a great way to boost your health.
Eat fresh! Meaning in season and local is best. During the winter it can be hard so I freeze or jar food in the summer and fall for winter. But there are still winter crops. Fill up on veggies and fruit. It’s by far the best for you.
always making sure that every dish is extremely colorful and using as little salt as possible so the natural flavors shine!
My family & would really enjoy if I win this outstanding package. Looking forward.
My daughter has been a vegeatrain for the past six months and I am always trying new meals for her and the entire family. This collections would also encourage my husband to eat healthier…since I always worry about his high cholestral and history of heart disease in his family.
I would LOVE to win this package. I was recently diagnosed as Celiac, and I am feeling SO lost on what to eat!
I need some inspiration, I need some help, I need some delicious food!
Everything sounds delish! I like to eat as much organic food as possible. I don’t eat fast food, ever. I love cooking nutritious meals at home. We eat very little red meat.We all love fish so that’s our mainstay.
cooking at home with fresh ingredients and made from scratch ! That’s the trick. 🙂
don’t decide on what to eat when you are hungry.
Best tip for eating well~ BE PREPARED! Missteps happen when someone has the opportunity to make an unhealthy decision.
Take time on the weekend to shop for the week. Preparing snacks and meals for the week or at least part of the week will deter unhealthy choices.
drink lots of water! so that it will fill your stomach and won’t over eat
I need to have a healthy snack ready for when I rapidly go from not hungry to “starving”.
My fiancee and I have been challenging each other to eat better and workout more. So far we have been doing great with our cooking and going to the gym much more frequently than we used to. We are getting married in Oct. and are hoping to get the stuff we registered for at WS so that we can continue to eat healthier and look great on our wedding day! We would love to win this set so that we can continue to achieve the goals we have set for ourselves!
Best tip for eating well
Pay attention to all ingredients listed on packages, and when you can, buy fresh!!
We discovered The Vitamix over Christmas and have tripled our daily fruit and vegetable consumption overnight.
Look at the ingredients on whatever you’re eating. If you don’t understand it, don’t eat it! 🙂
Plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Know when to splurge and when to save- buy local, grass-fed and organic meat at the farmer’s market and make your own granola, bread and stocks at home to save money.
i always try to have at least 3 different colors on my plate, whether i’m eating breakfast, lunch, or dinner…when your eyes see a bright mixture of fruits, veggies, grains, and healthy proteins, it stirs up something inside…
and as the seasons change, so do the colors on your plate…that makes for limitless culinary possibilities…
I follow the old rule of eating in moderation. I also enjoy fruit instead of junk food/ sweets. It is simple but it’s working out so far.
I think the simplest flavors can be the most amazing, especially when fresh produce, dairy and meats are involved. I try to support my local farmers, it’s a win/win with taste and keeping it real when it comes to the way we buy and eat our food.
I would LOVE to win this new collection!!
Eating fresh, local and seasonally is the best way to eat well.
The easiest way to eat well is to plan ahead! Make a weekly meal plan for breakfasts, lunches, dinners & snacks & shop only from your list. Always have healthy snacks on hand (in car, purse, office) for emergencies to avoid pit stops for fast food or unhealthy convenience store options.
Drink a glass of water before every meal!
These look yummy and my family would love these :).
don’t bury veggies in sauces. keep them healthy and your kids will love to eat them for what they are – nature’s gifts!
I’d like to try these because I’m trying to find very tasty additions to my diet. With high blood pressure and arthritis & a 54th birthday coming, I want to find more healthy options for my diet. This would make a great addition!
Thank you
Williams-Sonoma has got the best product available and the best in value. I absolutely love their products.
These are great products to have on hand and help you prepare to eat healthier while you’re on a time constraint. Having lost 28 pounds on a low fat diet to lower my cholesterol, this is right up my alley! I hope I win!
Feed me, Feed me, Feed me! all-natural, vegetarian, gluten-free, nutrient-rich—and low in fat & cholesterol? Yes Please!
I am not a cook but I have been really making an effort to make meals for my family. I have been using fresh ingredients as much as possible and using spices. They seem to like the food and it’s so much healthier (and tastier) than fast food!
I would love to cook from scratch all the time, but my life is too busy so I’m glad to know there are healthy “quick” options available. That ancho chili and lime seasoning would make fabulous shrimp tacos! Yum!
I think my best tip would be to stay prepared! I have found that the moment I don’t have that healthy snack or meal on hand I will immediately revert back to my unhealthy habits. I constantly keep my refrigerator and pantry stocked with vegetables, fruits and snacks on the go such as fiber bars.
Planning ahead and cooking extra on the weekends to speed things up during the week
I am trying very hard to make wellness a way of life for me and my family. The William-Sonoma Wellness collection would greatly enhance my efforts. Hope I win!!
Fairly new to vegetarianism and making the transition to veganism. It’s more simple than you would think. Eat what you like, creating your favorite dishes into a vegetarian version!
I subscribe to a local CSA. It’s fun and challenging to use all the fresh, local ingredients in the box during the week in my meal planning and preparation. And I must use them all before the next week’s box arrives, so the number of my fruit/veg servings stays high all week. I also learn about items I’m not as familiar with and so the variety of food I eat is broadened. I highly recommend it. Just make a pact not to waste ANY of it.
We belong to a CSA group so have a weekly delivery of fresh and sometimes frozen locally grown produce year round. We enjoy the variety and trying new things. Also trying to use whole grains more (quinoa, barley and farro) and whole grain breads. The combination of your sauces sounds intriguing! Thanks WS for your new line! Good Luck!
My best tip for eating well is to plan ahead. I often find that if I plan a menu for the entire week, I best utilize all the food in my fridge (less waste) and can make sure I am hitting all the best food groups. I think being honest in planning is also great– i.e. know that you may not want to make three huge dinners that are hours long; mix it up. I love the ginger carrot soup!
My best tip for eating well is to do it consistenly. Life is cumulative and eating healthly consitently over time is the best way to feel good and have energy every day.
I think the best way to eat well is to know exactly what you’re working with. Know your time constraints (and plan ahead so that you’re not left hungry and scrambling), know what ingredients you’re working with and know what you’re putting into every dish! I love cooking my own meals because I know I can get exactly what I want, as simply as possible.
Keep it simple. Stock your home with whole, nutritious foods. If you don’t buy the ” junk food” it won’t be there to tempt you! Craving sweets? An ounce of dark chocolate is a health boost!
Buying fruit from the supermarket already cut up makes it easy to have fruit in you eating plan. Keeps freah for a week or longer.
eating local and preparing as much as I can from scratch so I know what goes into it!
Cooking at home is the best way to eat healthy. Throw in tons of veggies, that’s what I always do.
I purchase lean meats and have quit fried foods. I also try to never get seconds on food when at home. Since I had heart cath a few months ago I am really trying to do better. Also, I am drinking a lot more water.
Love them!
My best way to eat well is to plan ahead. I never leave the house without at least an apple or a homemade granola bar in my bag, just in case I get hungry and am tempted by treats that I know I will regret later.
They look interesting. Something new to try!
My hubby just changed his diet to all vegetarian to feel better and be healthier. This would be an awesome gift for him!! Thanks for the chance!!
I love this store! Have yet to try the Wellness Collection!
Paraphrasing from Michael Pollan: “Don’t eat anything with ingredients your great-grandmother wouldn’t recognize.”
that’s an amazing group of products!
thank you for make such great food and amzing products!
oh!…and having such fun stores!
Be well in 2013!!!!
This sounds very appealing, want to try and cook something like this so healthy, but yet comforting.. Fresh foods are the kind I like best in every season.
I would love to have this as a part of my everyday wellness routine….You guys rock!
Would love to win
I love to cook and my husband and I are eating healthier and I love trying new things – I grow my own veggies and some fruits – and would love to win this collection to experiment new ideas with!
Yummy! It’s making me hungry reading the descriptions
love the collection
When grocery shopping, I try to stick to the foods that line the walls of the store as to avoid buying too many packaged/processed foods.
Best tip for eating well – lots and lots of fresh vegetables! They keep you full and there is so much to choose from! Also fresh herbs and non-packaged foods help.
I believe in moderation (portion sizes are key!) and eating fresh (use fresh garbanzos instead of canned ones, etc.).
If I don’t plan my meals, then we end up making something fast and unhealthy or eating out. So, my best tip is to plan ahead, especially when making a grocery list!
Meals made at home from fesh vegetables, fruits and meats. You can then control what you are intaking.
Having a fully stocked kitchen with healthy foods. If the fridge is empty, I tend to want to make quick runs for junk food. But, if there are healthy options (pre-prepping also helps), then I am less likely to reach for the sugar-laden alternatives.
I love making things at home from scratch, that way I can know exactly what has gone into them.
My best tip for eating well is preparation! Plan ahead and have everything you need on hand.
Planning — weekly meal plan, items needed at the grocery store, leftovers for lunches. Taking the “what-if” out of eating makes it easier to keep calories under control!
Eating local, seasonal food it a wonderful way to eat well. Cooking with ingredients that are in season, means you are eating the freshest food available.
