Whole Foods

Tomorrow (2/17), Whole Foods Market will be offering whole organic chickens for $1.99/lb (a savings of about 40%).  There is a limit of ten birds per person – they don’t want to deprive anyone of getting their chicken fix!

These chickens meet the USDA’s organic standards:

• No antibiotics, ever.
• Access to the outdoors.
• Only organic vegetarian feed.

And, their organic chicken producers are rated by the 5-Step™ Animal Welfare Rating program, so you know just how the animals were raised.

Organic chicken can be a great choice for a simple family dinner or a meal cooked to impress.  This super bird is sure to be a crowd pleaser and makes great next-day leftovers on a sandwich, in a salad or tossed in with some pasta.  Whole Food’s website offers ideas of how to cook your organic chicken:  Easy Marinated Roasted Chicken, Chicken in a Pot, Baked Maple Chicken

Don’t forget to browse through Whole Food’s list of printable coupons, if you’re planning a shopping trip tomorrow!

Today (1/20), Whole Foods Market is hosting a one-day sale on wild-caught Marine Stewardship Council-certified sockeye salmon for $7.99/lb – a savings of nearly 50 percent!  Sourced from the great runs in Alaska, Whole Foods Market’s sockeye salmon is hand-selected by their own port buyers at the peak of the season, then packed and frozen exclusively for their seafood cases to stock during the winter months.

Whole Foods Market maintains the highest standards for seafood quality and sustainability. They prohibit treating their fish with preservatives, and your salmon purchase supports healthy ocean ecosystems, too. In addition, their fish are tracked to ensure that they come from the correct, certified fishery.

If you’d like some ideas of what to cook with your Sockeye Salmon, Whole Foods offers some delectable recipes:

•       Roasted Salmon and Broccoli with Lemony Whole Wheat Linguine
•       Spice-crusted Roast Salmon with Ginger Beets
•       Honey Mustard Salmon Salad
•       Citrus-Marinated Grilled Salmon with Tabbouleh Salad
•       Roasted Salmon and Grapes

If you’d like a simple (and fast!) dinner, grab a container of the Ginger Miso Dressing, found in the Sushi Section at Whole Foods.  Then, bake or pan-fry your salmon and dollop a little of the dressing on top of it.  Serve it with some veggies and rice, and you’ll have a quick, healthy meal!

Starting tomorrow (1/6) through Sunday (1/8), Whole Foods Market is hosting a three-day sale on beef roasts. With this meat-stravaganza, boneless chuck, bottom round, rump roast and more (specific cuts vary by region) will be just $3.49/lb., a savings of around $$2.00/lb.  {For those of you who shop at the Reston, VA store, they will be offering Chuck & Blade Roasts for $3.49/lb.}

As most of you know, beef from Whole Foods Market comes from an animal raised on a vegetarian diet, without being administered antibiotics or added growth hormones.  And all of the ranches from which they source their beef are certified to meet the Global Animal Partnership’s 5-Step™ Animal Welfare Rating program.

If you need inspiration for cooking a roast, visit the Whole Story!  They offer excellent (and, healthy!) recipes for Beef Pot Roast and Beef & Barley Soup (perfect for a cold, wintery night!).  We love sticking a pot roast in the slow cooker, and having a delicious meal waiting at dinner time.

Even better?  If you’re shopping tomorrow, the Whole Foods’ One Day Friday Special will be their 85% Lean Ground Beef for $2.99/lb (regularly $4.99/lb)!  It will be a great day to stock up on antibiotic-free meat!  {And, don’t forget to print these coupons to make your trip a little more frugal!}
