Food comes from the dirt, not a factory.
There are some great free classes coming up this month here in Salt Lake City! I was sad that I missed the Vegan Substitutions class at Sunflower Farmers Market last Tuesday. The vegan diet doesn't work for me right now but I love learning about food and how other people maintain their health through their … Continue reading Free food classes in Salt Lake City
I saw a story today about Bon Jovi opening up a "pay what you can" restaurant in New Jersey this spring. That reminded me that I haven't been to One World Cafe here in Salt Lake City in a while. So I thought I'd give a shout-out to them! Even I found something good to … Continue reading Pay What You Can – One World Cafe
I will include photos later, but just wanted to remind you that the new Whole Foods opened this morning at 9. It's nice and big with some cool new products - like self-grind cashew and pecan butter. And for those of you who can eat peanut butter and chocolate, there's also a self-grind chocolate peanut … Continue reading Whole Foods Trolley Square is Open
Tomorrow is the last time you will need to fight for a parking spot at the 645 E. 400 S. Whole Foods location. The Trolley Square location opens on Monday, March 14th, at 9am. I thought that might mean there would be great sales this weekend to eliminate the majority of their inventory. That’s apparently … Continue reading Whole Foods Trolley Square
I made the rounds of the local markets yesterday, and man... shopping local is NOT fast. I left home just before noon and went to Oasis Cafe first to visit Chad's Produce. There, I bought eggs, spring mix greens, a yellow squash, and leeks. Next I made a quick detour to our landlord's credit union … Continue reading Saturday shopping
Thanks to Tara at Local Food Bee, I discovered Chad's Produce and bought a bunch of stuff this past weekend. Rainbow Carrots (1 bag) Cucumbers (3) Arugula (gallon-sized ziploc) Cilantro (he gave me his last 2 quart-sized bags for the price of 1 because it looked "wilty") Eggs (dozen) Strawberries (1 pint basket) Black walnuts … Continue reading Chad’s Produce, Market on State, Caputo’s
I went to the new-ish Market on State this evening to check it out. Kirk from Fowers Fruit Ranch is super nice with lots of potatoes, onions, and apples for sale. Other vendors include Volker’s Bakery, Canyon Meadows Ranch grass-fed beef, Morgan Valley Lamb, Morrison Meat Pies, Nature Baked Granola, and Nü Nooz pasta. Check it … Continue reading Market on State
I had a great time at the 2011 SLC Sustainability Summit yesterday. I went because I wanted to connect with other people who are interested in increasing awareness of and improving access to sustainably grown food. I was a little nervous that I wouldn't have anyone to talk to; I was afraid everyone there would … Continue reading 2011 Salt Lake Sustainability Summit – Reconnecting to Natural Genius
Creminelli Fine Meats were at Whole Foods Sugar House today sampling their salami - no preservatives & no junk! I tried the Barolo, Casalingo, Tartufo, and Sopressata salami, and I bought the Barolo, Casalingo, and Piccante (not sampled but they assured me it's spicy, which I'm hoping will satisfy Luis' taste for spicy food). FANTASTIC … Continue reading Creminelli Fine Meats at Whole Foods
