Food Favorites

Changing the way you eat can be expensive, and a challenge. Let me share some of my favorite go-tos:


Restaurants: Most cities have at least one farm-to-table sustainable restaurant these days. We live in central Pennsylvania and Lancaster restaurants, POUR on Prince and John J Jeffries, as well as Harrisburg's "Smoke" are favorites. Federal Taphouse (locations in Lancaster & Harrisburg) is also noteworthy if you are still allowing yourself the occasional drink (I drink cider on this diet but DH is unrestricted on this front). While their menu is a little less grain-free, it's still wholesome, fresh, and they offer seafood happy hour and lettuce wraps.

Nuts.com
Based out of NJ, nuts.com ships products to your door in about 48 hours. This is where I buy nut flours (coconut flour and almond flour), and some of our favorite snacks: like dates(the cheapest pitted dates I've found anywhere!), nuts, and supplies for making homemade chocolate.


Featured Favorite: Mushroom chips- these have the gratifying flavor and texture of sourdough pretzels. Expensive but great if eaten as single portion snacks.

Smile.Amazon.com
We have a prime membership (so most items have free 2-day shipping to our door) and putting the word "smile" at the beginning of the link means your purchases help a charity of your choice. In general, prices on amazon are about the same as everywhere else, and the variety of items we can purchase is great. Amazon is where I source my Native Forest Coconut milk,Coconut Oil, Stretch Island Fruit Leather (cherry is my favorite), raw bars, Larabars, paleo people "granola", and paleo wraps (made from coconut)


Featured Favorite: Paleo People Granola in Cappuccino Crunch- addicting, crunchy, and just plain satisfying



Wegmans
See also: Whole Foods, Trader Joes
In our area, the "big" healthfood store is a wegmans. This is a great place to buy grassfed beef and organic if your local grocery store is lacking. I like to buy parmesan chips, freeze-dried fruit, proteins, and snackbars here. Wegmans also carries uncured, nitrate free salami and pepperoni. It's also where I purchase:


Featured Favorite: Herbal Water by the case. Our favorites are Cinnamon Orange and Lavender Mint
