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

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
