Since Thanksgiving is almost here, I'm sure you're all thinking about the delicious food you'll be making. If you're like me, I know you have a lot to prepare, so whatever makes things easier is always a plus. That's why I love the broths made by Pacific. You can find them at most health food stores, and I've seen them in the health food section of regular grocery stores too. They come in 32 oz. aseptic containers like these that hold four cups of broth, but they also sell smaller containers in packs of four if you only need a cup or two.

The organic vegetable broth is my favorite, but they also make beef broth, low sodium chicken broth, free range chicken broth and mushroom broth. They are gluten-free, casein free, yeast free, and all are fat free (except for the beef broth, which is lowfat).

In the veggie broth, when you look at the ingredients, all you'll see are carrots tomatoes, celery, onions, garlic, leeks, bay leaves, parsley, thyme, and sea salt. It's all natural and as close to homemade as you can get, without going through the trouble of making it yourself.

You can use broth in tons of recipes, so instead of using water in your soups, casseroles, rice or stuffing, use broth for a richer, more delicious taste. I've tried many different brands of broth, and Pacific broths definitely have the best flavor in my opinion.

Fit's Tips: If you check out the Pacific website, they have a whole list of wonderful recipes you can try out that use their broths.
