Sunday's Refrigerator


Sunday we started off the challenge right! Brett and I went to our local stores to pick up our weeks worth of Paleo food for our Fabulous Paleo Fridge. We traveled to the local food coop River Valley Market in Northampton to check out & purchase particular foods. Here we found our proteins: grass fed organic ground beef and natural chix breast. Brett is using dairy in his challenge and he has fallen in love with whole milk from Mapleline Farms in Hadley - comes from premium Jersey cows, mooo. I just fancy the glass bottles and you can return them back to the store for recycling. He also grabbed SideHill Farm whole milk plain yogurt from grass fed moo cows. I admit I had a taste of the yogurt..de-lish. We finished up there with a few more paleo foods: kale, coconut milk, grass fed beef hot dogs, a splurge container of dried figs and eggs. We could of spent our whole pay checks there if we had no restraint, but things such as gas are important to be able to get to the places we need to go. After the food coop we went over to Trader Joe's and grabbed a bunch of nuts- cashews, macadamia, almonds and bags of large raisins, and basmati rice. To finish off our fridge we went to the closest fruit store and picked up veggies, some fruits, and spices. It was a fun afternoon of shopping and when everything was in the fridge and put away..we both felt that this week would be a challenge of coming up with recipes and the enjoyment of eating through our refrigerator.
