Whole Foods, Real Food

At Whole Foods Market, they talk about their mission in terms of Whole Foods – Whole People – Whole Planet. And they mean what they say.

Since we moved to Tiburon, naturally we had to find a new grocery store. There is a Safeway in nearby Mill Valley which is fine and we shop there often.

And there is also a Whole Foods Market.

I always thought that Whole Foods was only for specialty items and was more expensive than the other grocery chains. Wrong. We have found that the prices are reasonable and even if some things cost a little more at times, it’s worth it because we know we are getting natural and organic food that makes us feel good about what we are eating.

You can’t beat their wholesome produce and organic herbs; fresh fish and meats; home-baked breads and rich aged cheddar and parmesan cheeses. Their bake-at-home butternut squash and goat cheese pizza is delectable and their garlic hummus and lemon artichoke dips are, well, as good as they sound! We even buy our cat food and other pet treats at Whole Foods and the boys agree that everything is yummy. I have been cooking up a storm and our meals have been outstanding.

Here’s a look at what was on my cutting board for dinner tonight. Fresh, organic and colorful produce from Whole Foods Market.

My apologies if this post sounds like a commercial advertisement for Whole Foods. I guess I am gushing because I can’t believe I have settled for less than this all these years. Sure, I have shopped for produce at the Farmer’s Market from time to time (which was in town only once a week) but now we have this Whole Foods Market available to us every day of the week.

I am certainly hooked on Whole Foods and also like their dedication to the environment and their attention to quality and health. It makes ME feel whole.
