You might be thinking, “It’s the first day of March! Time is flying by, isn’t it?” and I’d agree with you. As a matter of fact, my son turns 2 today and it seems surreal that it has been TWO years! So, there is a part of me that would like to respectfully ask time to SLOW down! However, there’s that other part of me. The part that can hardly wait for Sprouts to open up in my area. That side would like the next month to fly by too, since we now have an opening date of March 27! Of course, when I look at this week’s deals, I’m jealous of all you who can go to Sprouts this weekend to take advantage of their great deals on organic food! Check these deals out:

What’s your favorite store for organic groceries?
One of the most expensive items in your shopping cart will be meat. Actually it probably is your most expensive item. You can definitely find sales and shop in bulk to cut down in cost, but another thing you can do that will actually make a difference is go meatless for a couple of meals a week. You’ll see your grocery bill go down a bit. But don’t worry, you don’t have to sacrifice taste for your wallet.
Here are some great meat alternatives.
1. Black beans and chickpeas. Most recipes that call for ground beef like tacos or spaghetti sauce are actually quite good with either of these alternatives. They mostly soak in whatever spices you put on them making it even better! I do highly suggest rinsing both of them before preparing them though. Cans of these items are incredibly inexpensive too!
2. Veggies! Yes vegetables are a great meat alternative. When you are making something like lasagna substitute the meat with eggplant or strips of zucchini You seriously won’t miss it! I bet even your kids dive into it with open arms.
3. Tofu. Although it’s not as cheap as say black beans, it is cheaper than meat. And remember this too takes on the flavor of whatever it’s cooked in so it’s a great alternative for protein without the pricetag.
4. Nuts. No, I’m not crazy, they are a great alternative. I recently tried a curry dish using no meat, but just using raw cashews that I soaked in water for a couple of hours and roughly chopped. It was A-MAZ-ING. Almonds are awesome too!
What are some dishes you cook without meat?

Recently, I heard someone say that they were proud of themselves for ordering a salad, rather than a burger and fries, from a fast food establishment they like to visit. Then, yesterday, I heard about how great fermented castor oil is supposed to be for our bodies and it reminded me that I need to give my vegetables another shot since my first attempt failed. Two days ago, I took my bi-weekly trip to Trader Joe’s and looked at the cookie butter and other packaged pastries and was reminded that every store has its variety; we, as consumers, can make healthy or not so healthy choices in wherever we go. So, whether you are making better choices at fast food restaurants or fermenting vegetables, this list is for you. Here’s to making progress on our road to healthy choices!
