Just Another Trip to Paradise

Whole Foods is a RD’s paradise!  It’s best if I enter the gates of heaven Whole Foods with a grocery list in hand… so that I stay on track and do not get too distracted with the plethora of healthy foods.  Cory and I try to spend no more than $125 each week on groceries. 

After spending 45 minutes in paradise, I came home with…

raspberries, strawberries, pink lady apples, grapes, squash, zucchini, kiwis, persimmon, satsumas, avocado, spinach, bananas, onion, tomatoes 

shredded mozzarella, naan bread, almonds, Amy’s soups, wine, honey, Larabars, pomegranate juice, Kashi crackers, whole wheat pasta, red wine vinegar, almond milk, Annie’s whole wheat macaroni and cheese, Kashi cookies, whole wheat bread x 2

I pretty much stuck to my grocery list, but I also got some fun things to try for the first time…

1. Persimmon…  I’ll let you know what I think

2. Naan bread… this was soooooo good (post coming very soon)

3. Amy’s Soups- No Chicken Noodle and Minestrone… you gotta have soup in the house during the winter! I was impressed with the Minestrone’s “Light in Sodium” stats.  Usually regular canned soups are anywhere between 500 mg to 1200 gm sodium per serving.  Amy’s Minestrone has 290 mg per serving.  I’ll let you after I try it about the taste.  I could not find the “Light in Sodium” No Chicken Noodle

Something that was not a “first” for me but I still wanted to share…

 Riven Rock’s Cabernet Sauvignon- This wine is very good and very cheap… only $5.99 per bottle! WF has the best wine selection.

Overall, I stayed within our budget- spending $104.01

What are some “new foods” you recently bought from the grocery?
