Chemicals/Suggested resources?

Question
Hello,
I was wondering if you could recommend any resources for inexpensive at-home lab experiments for high school/college level independent study. I am particularly interested in food chemistry and alternative nutrition (vegan), and the chemistry of how the body uses nutrients. I’m currently using Annenburg’s video course “The World Of Chemistry�, but I need a lab credit to go along with that, and I don’t have access to a lab. Any suggested resources? Thank you very much.

~Kelsey
