I grabbed my son at 1pm CST and we set out to 'find' all the goodies my husband and I would need to get through week 1 of the Ultimate Reset (and beyond). Frankly, it was exhausting! Our first stop was Trader Joe's (because in the Reset guide it said we would find much of the things we needed there). My son is happy, he's trolling around looking for the hidden goose.....me, not so much. Okay, that's a stretch....I found tempeh! And it was relatively inexpensive, so, yay! I also find a wonderful variety of fresh herbs and veggies that I need (beets anyone?) The aisles start looking all the same as I walk up and down them for the third, fourth and fifth time. But it pays off! I find the quinoa that I missed on the first and second trip up the aisle! Score! Unfortunately, I can't find miso paste....or mirin..or coriander or smoky tempeh strips.... Ugh.
So we head over to the checkout where the chipper checkout chick asks me if I found everything. I stare at her and say,'no, not quite'. This however pays off because while they didn't carry the Nori sheets (ya, I didn't find those either!) I come to find out that Hyvee does! Cool.
Sooo, off to Hyvee we go! I am very happy our first stop was Trader Joe's because I would have been greatly depressed if came here first! They really didn't have much ...except for miso paste and Nori sheets! Yahoo! But we still aren't done.....last and final stop...Costco! Who doesn't love Costco?! There we stock up on berries, kale, spinach and seaweed! Not sure if it's exactly what I needed, but at this point I don't care! If I have to stop at one more store.....Ahhhhh!
Now it's 4:14CST. My kitchen has stuff all over it and I haven't started 'pre-making' anything. Crap. Guess it's a sign that I need to log off and get my butt in gear!
Everything I have read tells me this will pay off in the end....tomorrow we begin. Wish us luck
Hy-Vee does have a lot of that, and the Goof Food store will have a lot of it as well. As to Costco? I was a more than a little excited when it was in the newspaper about it a year before they opened (OK, so I jumped up and down and squeeed in the middle of Apache Mall to be honest), and I am there at least once a week or so. Kale and spinach are some of our favorite foods, followed by carrots and tofu.
