Grocery Going

A not-so-secret fact about me: I love grocery shopping. It's my favorite "chore." In fact, I'll tell anyone who will listen, I'm actually a grocery snob. It's true. I almost exclusively shop at Whole Foods. Although Tony's Market, Marczyk, Sprouts and sometimes Sunflower will do. And if we had a Trader Joes, that would be heaven. But my favorite grocery shopping locale is the little Whole Foods in our Capitol Hill neighborhood. It's small and charming, with a great local market feel.

I went shopping this evening, picking up dinner for the next few nights. And some of my favorite local Colorado products (because Whole Foods carries all of our yummy local foods!).

• Boulder Canyon Totally Natural Chips | Unfortunately not just for enjoying as a pre-dinner snack (because that's clearly OK), but for these chocolate-dipped potato chips I plan to make this Saturday for the neighborhood holiday party.
• Qrunch Burgers | These veggie burgers (yes, we eat tons of veggie burgers because we try not to eat meat during the week) are made of quinoa for a totally unique flavor. And quinoa is considered a superfood, so at least we don't have to feel too bad about enjoying a "burger."
• Justin's Nut Butter Honey Peanut Butter | The best peanut butter ever. Period. We switch out flavors (chocolate anyone?) and types (almond and hazelnut are our faves), but this week we were due for the Honey PB. We eat this smoothie almost every morning (frozen banana + almond milk + a few ice cubes + flax seeds + a heaping spoonful of Justin's Nut Butter of any flavor), so needless to say, we run out of the stuff pretty quickly.
• Haystack Mountain Goat Cheese | Because I would put goat cheese on everything if other people felt the same way about it... And Haystack is simply delicious.

Don't forget your bags!
