Paleo/Primal Food Shopping with Jes

Food shopping.

I've had a couple requests for a blog post on grocery shopping... Paleo/Primal style!  Buying quality foods and ingredients does not have to expensive.  There is also no need to be OCD with coupon clipping.  You just have to be smart about it.  I mainly get food from three sources: farmer's market, the web, and grocery stores.  I'll discuss each in detail.

At the end of the post, I also included pictures of my refrigerator and pantry.

Dressing-less Salad

Two recipes in one.  Beefy Lettuce Tacos for lunch and Beefy Eggs for breakfast!

I love to go to the Farmer's Market on Sunday's to buy Thai chili peppers and to load up on food for the week.  I also go to sample all the fruit in season from different farms.  Last Sunday a farm brought in a large variety of apples.  The apples were so good!!!  I really wanted to get some, but I did not want to end up eating like five apples a day so I quickly started brainstorming what recipes I could make with apples.  Luckily, I ran into Sally who gave me the idea to make an apple salad with arugula.


While shopping for arugula, I noticed that the farm had all different kinds of spinach for sale.  One of the owners was nice enough to explain the differences between all the spinach.  The one I liked the most was this purple spinach called Orach because it had this natural salty flavor.  Viola, I knew what I was going to make for dinner: a dressing-less salad with ingredients so full of flavor that they can be eaten plain... and all the ingredients would be from the Farmer's market!
