Nature's Pantry, is my local natural/organic/health food store, when you live in the middle of nowhere, there are no Wild Oats or Whole Foods or Vitamin Cottages. We have City Market (Kroger) or Nature's Pantry.
I know with all drinking that I do, it's hard to believe, but I really really do care about what I eat...
I saw this tent at a brewery festival I went to a few summers ago, and that pretty accurately sums up how I feel. I think that if you're going to drink like I do, it's probably a good idea to eat healthy food (gotta keep your body guessing). As I've mentioned before I like to stick with locally produced food as much as I can and if I can't get it locally, I at least try to eat organic. While, yes the regular grocery store does have some local produce and organic items, it's not like a bigger city where they have a large selection...
So, off I went today to Nature's Pantry in search of some local produce and GMO free tortilla chips (and to support a small local business).
and because every now and then I forget to take pictures,
this one came from the Nature's Pantry Facebook Page
So, ,while not everything is local here are a few super yummy and healthy meal ideas:
A super HUGE salad made with all Colorado grown veggies (Romaine Lettuce, Mushrooms, Tomato, Cucumber) and GMO free Ranch Dressing (and a little cheese that I'm not sure where it was made). And a Gin and Tonic with a slice of organic lime!
Soft tacos made with GMO free tortillas, local ground beef (from Scanga Meat Company) and locally grown lettuce and tomato. (and Tapatio Hot Sauce, gotta have my Tapatio).
Yes, it may be a little more pricey, but as I've mentioned before I think it's worth it! And supporting the local economy is good for everyone!
