Coupons for Organic Foods, No download required!

Saturday, March 7th, 2009

Eating Well Coupons are a great help for those of us who try to eat organic and natural foods but don’t want to break the bank.

Unlike many other online coupons, you don’t have to download any software to print them.

The selection isn’t extensive, but most coupons are $1 or more, which to me is worthwhile enough.  The products change every few weeks.  You can elect to have them email you to keep you updated.  A few of the items are obscure but many (Lundberg rice, Organic Valley milk) are mainstream yet not often on sale.

Eden Organic Yellow Mustard

Monday, December 29th, 2008

I enjoy the Eden Organic brand of yellow mustard.

Ingredients: Raw Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, Water, Organic Yellow Mustard Seed, Eden Sea Salt, Organic Turmeric, Organic Paprika, Organic Garlic.

It has a strong mustard taste and a bright yellow color.  A little goes a long way so I’ll probably have this jar for awhile.

When Bananas Go Straight From Green to Brown

Friday, November 7th, 2008

Does this ever happen to anyone else?

You buy a bunch of green bananas.

You leave them to ripen.

They stay green for a long time.

Then brown spots begin to appear (even as parts remain green).

What happened to the middle stage, when they’re ripe and yellow?

In Season: Pomegranates

Monday, October 27th, 2008

I was the crazy girl walking down the sidewalk at lunchtime today.

After eating a delicious and nutritious salad, chock full of veggies, chickpeas and kidney beans, I was still a little bit hungry.  Not hungry in the truly physical sense, but more like: “I want something else, something satisfying, something to keep me going until dinner, something sweet, something exciting.”

Does this ever happen to you?

As I walked down the block contemplating what else I could buy, I had an amazing revelation.  This morning I had thrown a pomegranate in my purse as I was leaving because I hadn’t had time for breakfast and it was the first thing I saw in the fridge.

One organic pomegranate that had cost me a mere $1.01 at the food co-op.

So, walking down the block in the afternoon sunshine, I ripped it apart, dyed my fingers red, and savored deliciousness.  I got a lot of stares.

So yes, I was the crazy girl.

Garden of Eatin’ Sesame Blues Chips: Utopia

Saturday, October 25th, 2008

Having previously professed my love of salsa, it should come as no surprise that, to me, chips are often a mere vehicle to transport salsa from bowl to mouth.

Sometimes, though, I crave chips for their inherent goodness.

Garden of Eatin’ has many delicious varieties of chips.  Sesame Blues are my favorite for non-dipping because they are flavorful and nutty.

The ingredients are: organic blue corn, expeller pressed oleic safflower and/or sunflower oil, organic sesame seeds, sea salt.

It worries me somewhat when ingredient listings include “and/or.”  But in the case of Sesame Blues, I’ll conveniently overlook it.
