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?

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!
1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed well
1 cup water
1 tsp salt
extra virgin olive oil
2 medium potatoes diced
1/2 large onion chopped
1 clove garlic
1/2-1 cup of asparagus
a few dashes of Frank’s hot sauce (optional)
Combine quinoa, water, and salt in a pot. Cook according to package instructions. Drain, set aside. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. Add onions, garlic and potatoes and cook until potatoes are tender. Add in asparagus when potatoes and onions are almost finished. Salt to taste and set aside. Combine everything together and enjoy!

I challenge you. If you can eat this whole thing and 2 slices of toast, you must have a bigger stomach than me. I have discovered that I don’t need toast, if I eat my other things first! My grandmother used to make us omelets for lunch as young girls, when we could convince her. So I set out to learn how to make my own.
Melt the butter in a small frying pan. Saute peppers and onion until tender. Remove from pan for later.
(I prefer the small pan, because it omelet sized.) Wisk 3 eggs and milk together. Pour into pan. Allow it to cook almost entirely through, and then flip. I know many people don’t flip their omelets, but it works best for me.
When egg is cooked through add peppers, onions, and cheese. Fold in half and enjoy!
