Price Matching - December

I try to tell people that I have this curse.  It's called frugality.  It can be a blessing at times, and I'm grateful for how God has wired me. And in most cases it is beneficial to those around me.  For example, I price match my groceries each week.  This week I'm running a bit late and am going grocery shopping today. The ads always change over on Wednesday, which is when I usually shop, but I'm dangerously low on bananas.  If you know me, you know what a travesty this is. ;)

So this week, these are the specials I'm going after:  
RANCH MARKET
Bananas - .33/lb
Tomatoes - .33/lb
Avocados - .33 each

EL SUPER
Mangos - .50 each

FOOD CITY
Celery - .33 each
Broccoli - .50/lb
Fuji - .33/lb

SPROUTS
Grapes - .88/lb
Bell Peppers - .88 each

I'll get the rest of my produce from farmers markets, CSAs, and the organic isle at Sprouts.  These are the deals I'm going after to save money. All of the produce above will be conventional, which isn't ideal but the prices allow me to buy organic at other times. I'll try to post these sales every week. :)

RAW RECIPE NIGHTs have begun!!!

5/27/2010

I am ridiculously excited.  I've been working with my best friend and we have come together with the first Raw Recipe Night that anyone and everyone is invited to.  It's not held in my apartment, but in a guest house of a dear friend. I'm charging $15 a head to cover the costs of the ingredients and the space.  It's in two short weeks.  Want more information on the RRN?  Have I mentioned that I'm excited?!  My best friend and I have been talking about possibly having Raw Recipe Nights (RRN's from here on out) 2-3 times a month.  Two Saturdays a month and maybe a weekday as well.  Who says dreams can't come true?!

This first RRN will be on raw dips: a simple and easy way to add more raw food into your lifestyle.  Not only are the dips raw, but you use raw veggies to dip into them - viola, an entirely raw meal that is delicious!  I have dip meals at least 4-5 times a week.  I'll be demonstrating 3, maybe four dips. One using nuts, one with seeds, one with beans, and one without.  I don't know what I'll do next, but my brain is abuzz as to RRNs to come: Raw Pies, Raw cookies, Raw Crackers, Raw Gourmet, Raw Snacks, Raw Beverages, Raw Kids Meals, Raw Ice Cream, Raw Breads, Raw Entrees, Raw Appetizers, Raw Mylk, and SO MUCH MORE! 

This also gets me off my tush and back to school to get some nutritional degree so I am accredited.  I already have a B.A., but something tells me that English Literature may not be useful in my new field.  Although, it seems to be helping here!  I'm bouncing between the idea of a simple certification, or perhaps pursuing my masters.  I'll talk it over with my mother when she is here for a visit, she's been pushing me to go for further education as my little one is getting easier and easier to care for.

Tonight I had a wonderfully satisfying dinner (which if you are my friend on FB, you heard about).  I left for the farmers market and completely forgot to bring dinner for myself.  This is very rare, for as you know I take food EVERYWHERE I go.  Well, I wasn't completely stranded, there are half a dozen Larabars in my car, but I try not to eat them - they are for emergencies, after all.  So I thought, I'll just nibble as I go along.  It started with a peach...YUM...and then a few little apricots that remind me of cherries they are so tiny and wonderfully scrumptious. Then those tomatoes began to look incredible, and I hadn't eaten a "white carrot" before - I had to try that one out.  There was some sliced watermelon, so I helped myself to a few slices, along with a few slices of an apple that someone was offering.  Then I went back to the beginning and had more of everything.  By the time I was on my way home around 9:30 (my best friend organizes the farmer's market, so we visited afterward), I had eaten four peaches, six apricots, four tomatoes, three carrots, four slices of watermelon, a few bites of chard and lettuce and an apple.  Holy Moly!  No wonder I wasn't hungry!  Wonderfully satisfying...not overly stuffed.  AND, I have so much energy that I'm obviously blogging at ten at night.  I could go for a night hike I have so much energy!  I love organic produce!!  And so cheap...I love Horny Toad Farms. 

Also, expect many more recipes and pictures in the next week.  I have some eggplant in my fridge I'll use to make mini pizzas, some parsnip that I'll use to make Mexican rice, some monster zucchinis that I'll use for raw lasagna...oh and much much more.  Which should I make first?

     About the Blogger

    Haley is passionate about Raw Food and how God has used it to heal her. She loves to share what she knows with anyone who is curious, and finds herself talking to everyone around her about her lifestyle. 

    God comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.  For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ. Even when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation! For when we ourselves are comforted, we will certainly comfort you. Then you can patiently endure the same things we suffer. We are confident that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in the comfort God gives us. (2 Corinthians 3-7)

    This Scripture applies to every area of  life that Haley is passionate about. In order to be grateful, confidant, and assured of anything in your life...it must be tested and proved. That testing is never easy and rarely pleasant...but it IS purposeful. She now can take the comfort that God has given her and share it with you. Amen!
