Today’s trip to the grocery store, the first after reading Eat Nourish Glow by Amelia Freer.

1. Tried out The Fresh Market, a new grocery/eatery that just opened here in St. Louis.  A bit pricey on some items. Couldn’t do all of my shopping here. But lots of good, new, and organic stuff that I want to try so I’ll definitely return.
2. Bought strawberries, blue berries, black berries, and opal apples for breakfasts and fresh desserts. Had a bowl of fruit tonight after dinner with chia seeds, lemon juice, and some whipped cream. It was wonderful! Chia seeds don’t really have any flavor but they are a good healthy fat.
3. Bought avocados, a healthy fat that I like but usually only buy to make guacamole. Will try it on salads and eggs soon.
4. Bought Amish organic butter for cooking!
5. Bought organic milk (also Amish) and unsweetened almond milk.
6. Bought cage free, hormone eggs.
7. Fresh Market stocks my new favorite tea – Revolution Tea – bought Earl Grey with Lavender
8. I love Fresh Market’s deli counter. Picked out two pecan crusted chicken breasts for dinner.
9. Went to my regular grocery store for other things including organic salad mix and other veggies. Found coconut oil for cooking, also organic!
10. Cooked my pecan chicken breasts with coconut oil.
11. Made pasta from zucchini, squash, and carrots using my new Veggetti Spiraler that I picked up at BB&B yesterday! Using a tool like this to make vegetable pastas was another suggestion from Freer’s books. It’s a healthy alternative to boxed pastas which are loaded with sugar and starch.
12. Topped my veggie pasta with a Basil Pesto. Was going to make my own but found a nice one in a jar at Fresh Market.
13. Dinner was awesome!
14. Need to work on my breakfast meals now…incorporating a protein and green vegetable.
