Sugar Butter

I spent the day resting my body from the stress of work. Being a firefighter is a true life passion of mine, but right now, I count every shift as “one more closer to retirement”. At the moment I’m struggling to have a passion for a job that gives me nothing more in return than a paycheck.

I digress.

Andrea and I rode our bikes to a local Mexican food restaurant for a late afternoon lunch. I truly enjoy living a simpler (greener) life. If things go as planned, my life will get a lot simpler in the months to come, more on that later. With our bellies full, we decided this was the perfect time to go shopping for the weeks groceries.

We shopped and purchased food like seasoned nutritional pros. Our shopping cart was full of color and lacked the drab of processed foods. Approximately 90% of my cart consisted of fresh fruits and vegetables. Below are some key items from today’s shopping trip:
-Used our REI reusable bags (instead of the plastic store bags)
-No meat
-No soda
-Only diary product was two packs of Skinny Cow cheese
-Worst item purchased: Smart Balance microwave popcorn
-Saved over $10, using coupons
-Made our own peanut butter from the bulk food section
-Read the labels of EVERYTHING we put in the cart
-Actually learned a few things from foods we 'assumed' were good for us
-Learned that the 2nd most predominate item in JIFF peanut butter is SUGAR
