We made it to Friday! While work on the back end has been really busy for the studio and my blog, Charlotte has been really quiet this week. The public schools are on spring break and it seems like half the city is gone on vacation.

what i bought at whole foods

I ran into Whole Foods yesterday with the intention of “picking up a few things.” Famous last words. Before I knew it my cart was overflowing and my total at checkout was not pretty. I don’t know what it is about the move but I haven’t been able to get my fridge/freezer/pantry feeling like it’s fully stocked since we moved in.

Here’s a look into my cart. It’s a little random!

frozen foods whole foods market

Lots of stuff for the freezer.

  • Frozen brown rice (for lunch bowls)
  • Frozen green peas
  • Frozen chopped spinach (for when I run out of fresh for smoothies)
  • Frozen wild Alaskan salmon
  • Frozen strawberries, blueberries, cherries, peaches and raspberries
  • Chicken thighs
whole foods market produce

Produce.

  • Baby spinach
  • Strawberries (<– NC berries!)
  • Pink lady apples (my fave)
  • Sweet potatoes
  • Bananas
  • Pineapple
  • Avocado
  • Lemon and lime
  • Green cauliflower/broccoflower (<– impulse purchase because it was on sale and pretty!)
  • Farmhouse Culture Kimchi (<– I am so excited to try this! It was on sale!)
  • Roots Mango Sriracha Hummus (<– if you haven’t tried this and you can get it in your area, you must!)
  • Cedars Lemon Cayenne Hommus (<– my fave basic hummus flavor to keep in the fridge)
  • Chunk white albacore tuna
  • Salsa
  • Vital Farms Eggs (<– fave store bought eggs…I think they’ll be delicious with the kimchi!)

The things that could have not ended up in my cart…….

  • Stacy’s Pita Chips
  • Cascadian Farm Honey Almond & Chia Seed Granola
  • Glutino crackers (<– my fave even though I don’t do the gluten-free thing)
  • Peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter #priorities

Wrapping it up with a case of La Croix (also on sale) and laundry detergent. I’ve never used the Whole Foods brand of detergent so we’ll see how it goes.

I have to go teach yoga now. I hope you have a wonderful day! 🙂

Any recent new grocery finds to share?

Favorite hummus flavor?

What’s something you sometimes splurge on at the grocery?

Life Lately: Summer So Far

Life Lately: Summer So Far

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

So Many Dinner Ideas

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]
