Sprouts vs. Walmart

I needed to go grocery shopping yesterday, but instead of heading straight to my usual Walmart I decided to check out Sprouts first. Sprouts is closer to us than Whole Foods, and I had hoped that it would be a little better since it's a smaller company. Whole Foods seems to be getting pretty big. That's not always a bad thing, but in the case of healthy and local food, national chains don't always come through. Sprouts is currently limited to CA, AZ, TX, and CO, whereas Whole Foods is all over the country (and Canada and the UK).

First Taste of Bison

I finally cooked up some of the grass-fed ground bison meat I bought a couple weeks ago. I made Hamburger Helper, which I know is not very healthy, but it's what we had. A quick peek at the nutritional information on the side of the box reveals several mystery ingredients. Eventually I'm hoping to make a healthier homemade version of Hamburger Helper, but I'm not there yet.
