Once again, I need to listen to my own advice here…

There is something to be said about convenience foods.  Even convenience real foods.

How many of you (like me) have fallen into buying?

  • baby carrots
  • apple slices
  • shredded cabbage or lettuce
  • boneless chicken
  • shredded cheese

If you chop, shred, and debone your own food, you will save money most of the time!  (So it is battle. Do you have extra time or extra money?)

I buy boneless chicken and shredded cheese.  But I now prefer my fruits and veggies whole, so I can be the one to wash, slice, or chop!

What other convenience real foods do you buy or see in the stores?

A meal salad is my favorite, healthy, and quick summertime meal.

So, you aren’t going to find many coupons for produce.  They do come around, but not very often…

There are coupons for many organic items though, especially dairy items.

Look at this coupon database link where I searched “Organic” coupons.  When I wrote this post, there were 4 pages of coupons.  That is a whole lot of savings on organic items!

Keep in mind, “organic” doesn’t necessarily equate to real food, but some items are definitely what I would consider real!

What “real food” coupons have you found recently?

Quinoa Side Dish Recipe

April 24, 2012

I adapted this one from Meg who is my fabulous blog helper. It was my very first attempt with Quinoa, and I liked it!  Her recipe contained toast nuts and left out the Frank’s hot sauce.  (Hubby is not a nut fan, and I wanted him to try this.)  I also cut the recipe in 1/4-1/2.  I used this as a side dish, and this makes plenty for that purpose!

If you like this recipe, you might want to check out my other gluten-free recipes!
