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.

Beefy Lettuce Tacos and Eggs

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

Lately I have been really busy at work and with moving.  I workout, go to work, sleep, and repeat the cycle.  I choose not to cook anything that would take more than 30 minutes since I rather use that time to sleep.  But I still want to eat Paleo and have some food variety throughout the day.  There is only so much takeout Mexican food I can eat before totally getting sick of it.  The other problem with eating out is they don't give you enough meat and the meat quality is probably not the best.
One day when I was driving home from work, I was brainstorming quick recipe ideas I can make with some of the pre-chopped food at Whole Foods.  Since most of my cooking time is spent prepping, I might as well try to minimize that.
So for the busy, the lazy, the picky, or all, this recipe is for you.  It takes 30 minutes to make, absolute max.  The base is minced seasoned ground beef that can be used for at least two of your meals during the day, depending on your appetite.  Beefy eggs in the AM, and lettuce tacos for lunch!  The two dishes have a great balance of protein, fats, and carbs, while maintaining variety.

Sweet Whole Foods Deal & a Great Day at the Gym!


Awesome Whole Foods deal via Amex and Facebook.

American Express and Facebook recently launched an awesome deals program called "Link, Like, Love" where cardholders can get deals based on what one "likes."  The process is very fast and simple: link your Amex card, "like" a deal, then go out and get the deal.  If you are an Amex cardholder, I highly recommend checking this out!

They have some awesome deals!  My favorite one is the  Whole Foods deal, which is a $5 credit with a purchase of $20 or more!  I wish I could use this deal more than once!
