So like I mentioned a couple days ago we were planning on trying some pancakes Saturday. They were eh. Part of it may be I like coconut but not tons of it and they really had a strong coconut taste, enough to where my husband who loves coconut even thought it was a bit much. Back to the drawing board with them we go. I promise if we find a recipe that we end up liking (and we will!) we will post it here. Now did I mention that we made chocolate chip cookies that were fantastic? :) Oh yeah maybe once or twice, but seriously they are worth trying!
When we started this change we wanted to do this as best we could all the way- with the best ingredients (meats, fruits, and vegetables) that we could afford on a consistent basis. I am not going to lie our grocery bill has been shooting up and we are only two adults and then a two year old eating. We have easily hit the mid $200s easily for one week. We have wanted to do some sort of farm sharing or direct purchasing of our meat and another way to use local suppliers for our fruits and vegetables.
For our meat we have joined a local CSA through Florida Fields to Forks. We can pick what kind of meat shares we want and then we can pick them up. It was only a $35 fee to join and we will be picking up our first round of meat and the price will bring our weekly bill down dramatically and it is all grass fed fresh meat. I am so excited. Will definitely update after we pick it up on Thursday.
We also found a local organic fruit and vegetable company that will deliver to your door once a week. We will be getting our first delivery from Space Girl Organics at the end of the month and again I plan on updating it with some reviews as soon as we get going with it.
So stay tuned, there are a lot more things coming soon!
