I know, I know, Whole Paycheck, yada yada. Whole Foods has a lot of haters, and years ago I really wanted to be one. Until I started to care about my diet, and more specifically about the ingredients in the food I buy. The fact is, Whole Foods is one of the ONLY grocery stores in my area with true transparency in their ingredients. Their massive hot bar and salad bar area has little name cards for each item, and right there on them is a full list of ingredients. For the most part, they are pretty clean. Sometimes they are not. But regardless, the information is there for ME to decide what to put in my body. Knowledge is power! (Ok, off my soap box now).
My newfound favorite thing about Whole Foods is that those ingredient cards clearly call out allergens. So during our recent trip their for groceries and a quick dinner, it was super easy for me to figure out what I could and could not have. Sure, it was a little disheartening to see so few allergen-free options, but I was still able to assemble a pretty formidable dinner. I ended up with a delicious pulled pork, as well as a kalua pork as my entrees. On the side I got roasted carrots as well as some coleslaw. And for a carb fix I got a scoop of Mexican rice. Throw in a Crispin hard cider from their bar, and it was an overall delightful meal!
