I LOVE LOVE LOVE grocery hauls!
Looks like you've got a good selection of foods---now it's time to see what you make with all of it ;-)
Great healthy way to start the new year! xo
So many amazing groceries! I wish I could afford all organic or natural stuff but usually have to settle for generic stuff. Sometime's it's even healthier than the name brand stuff, though so it's not all that bad! haha
It's so exciting to prepare for some big change in your life. Kind of like.. getting some new yoga gear ;) It feels fresh and waiting for you to try! I also love how the eggs are called "free run" and the little illustration.. sounds more whimsical than cage-free lol.
I love beans! They're my main source of protein. Since I eat them so much I actually invested in a pressure cooker so I can buy the dried beans and save a lot of money instead of constantly buying canned beans (they take forever to cook simply on the stovetop). My favorite are chickpeas and red lentils.
XOXO best of luck! I can't wait to see what you are up to in this coming year my love.
I love beans! I eat some everyday :P They're just so versatile and satisfying!! Anyway, I'm loving your groceries, I mean.. Hemp butter!? Wow, I didnt even know they made that! And I also get that same brand of tuna/salmon as you - It's so good! Happy new year, Kelsey. This one is going to be great :) You're off to a great start!! :)
OHHHH seeing all this food makes me feel like I could go sugar free too!! haha, everything looks AWESOME! happy new year girl, i know God has great things in store for you, beautiful!
lol at the beans. i don't eat legumes (mess up my digestion) but they are a great source of protein. i'm very curious about the hemp nut butter, let me know what it tastes like. i've had hemp protein powder and hemp milk and dig them so i'm guessing i'd like this too but haven't seen it in stores!
I don't love beans, but I know I should. I just don't know what to make. Maybe you could share some ideas?
oh YUM, hemp nut butter!? i didn't even know they made it. that sounds delicious. let us know how it is!!
i'm definitely a bean person. my favorites include (but not limited to!) chickpeas, black beans, adzuki beans, and great northern beans.
love it girl. i drink the same almond milk! also pass some of that hemp nut butter over here :)
I should try being sugar free too! this all looks so good!!
I LOVE garbanzo beans, and red kidney beans! Edens products are wicked amazing.
Those oats look great! Did you get them from planet organic??
We should do a package exchange... <3?? XOXO LOVE
I love beans. I think black beans are my favorite!
I am OB-SESSED with beans! Any kind really! But chickpeas, black beans and refried are my FAV!
I've got to run though... you're making me hungry and I need groceries too! =)
xoXOxo

Very inspiring... I always sort of "desperately" keep sugar in the house, but then it's the first thing I go for when I'm hungry. Doesn't do much for my health though :)
I love red beans. I could eat them allll day long. Red beans in a stir fry, that's my stuff.
Good luck :)
I am an equal opportunity bean lover...I love them all. Red beans make the best bean burgers and pintos make the best chili (in my opinion). I love the groceries...can't wait to see what you come up with!
Ohhh, I love Eden Foods too! I am going to be doing a giveaway of their stuff in a few weeks. Your groceries look super healthy, can't wait to see what you make! xoxo
I love Eden Organics!!! Although some of them are bit pricier, they are superior to the other brands.
I really want to try the Hemp Nut Butter!!! I can't find it here in Vancouver...perhaps in Whole Foods?
how exciting!!!my big change starts tomorrow...I bought a journal and everything!! I love seeing what people buy for their groceries!!
everything looks so good! Let me know how you like those turkey franks! I am a big garbanzo bean fan, so buttery and versatile. You could even mashe them in hemp nut butter with a little honey mix in. Now thats what a call a good hummus!
CHeers to health NEW food!

Looks like you're off to a great start for 2011. Such wonderful healthy choices. Kudos to you pretty lady.
I am not a bean lover...but I certainly have been trying to incorporate them in my diet more. Everything looks so wholesome and delicious. I can't wait to see what meals you create. Thanks for sharing sweet girl. I hope you have a beautiful week.
I feel healthier just looking at this post! I adore beans of all kinds but I'm kind of obsessed with garbanzos at the moment!
LOVE beans!!!! Especially black beans....mmmm....I had some black eyed peas (of course!) yesterday!
I especially like just throwing a bunch of veggies, beans, and herbs in a pot to make soup :)
LOL at the "shitload" pun not intended part hahahaha :P
Mmmm.. I love beans ! They all taste relatively the same to me though, so I don't really have a favourite. I eat chick peas and kidney beans the most.
I can't wait to see what you make with your new foods :)
looks good squirell MAIL PARTY TIME SQUIRELL MAILLLL
I am jealous of all your beautiful finds!
I love beans. I never ate them growing up but am starting to try more and more of them and think they are great.
I am a bean lover for sure!!!
Holy YUM!
These sugar-free groceries look even tastier then a lot of other sugar-filled ones :)
You can do this, Kelsey!
I have my fingers crossed - no more health issues from now on!
Love you, girl!
Happy 2011.
xoxo
I feel like such a creeper, but I actually love seeing what people buy at the grocery store haha.
I'm a hardcore bean lover! I think my favouite are chickpeas, but I like them all!
I loveeeeeeeee grocery shopping explosions! Just buying all the yummy healthy food!
I'm not the biggest bean person. But I like them here and there! I really like kidney beans!
so are you giving up all sugar or like what...explain lol, bc I am trying to as a challenge as well!
Niiiiice haul! I love grocery store posts! And I love beans with all my heart... and my butt. :)
I am intrigued by your lush selection of organic, natural foods! Living in an isolated area makes me a desperate searcher of such items, as they are not abundant in my area. I am fortunate to have lots of wild fish and venison!
I love beans in vegetarian chili. I also enjoy using broad beans as a paste, something I learned in Southern Italy. Other than that, I don't know what to do with beans!
I used to eat beans every single day, but somehow I stopped! I'm actually planning on having some with my dinner tonight. I'm a black bean lover!
The unintended pun is still making me giggle.
Love beanns -- mostly chickpeas -- mostly in hummus form so far. I love them in soups -- I made a kicking pumpkin and black bean soup and am planning on making sweet potatoe and black bean burritos from the Clean Food Terri Walters Cookbook.
I also take lots of Beano. No joke.

Loving the accidental pun! I love White beans cooked with diced tomatoes and spinach. It makes a great pasta topper!
I am not a huge bean eater but i do like black beans. I also like garbanzo beans but only if they are blended into hummus!
You hit the grocery JACK-POT!
Love love love Eden brand!!
I love aduki beans. Here in Japan they use them for all sorts of sweet desserts! Blend some up with a bit of stevia and almond milk, and it is delicious :)
Beans, oh my gosh, I've been in love with them since I was a kid. I would eat refried beans straight from the can and when I was older I spent 4 years eating only beans/lentils and broccoli, not exactly because I wanted them, but I truly loved them. Now a days I don't eat a lot of them because of all those years of beans every day, twice a day. But I'm now getting back into the swing of things. My favorite beans are kidney beans, second comes lentils.
Oh and I forgot to mention (but you probably already know this info) that the Eden brand (I lived off their kidney beans for YEARS) is the only brand that doesn't have BPA.
I lovelovelove beans, but I have to be careful with them! One bite too many and my tummy goes topsy turvy! :-p When I was little, my dad used to make bean spread for sandwiches (kind of like hummus, but not nearly as tasty! haha).
Your groceries look like fun...I'm looking forward to seeing what you create with them!
Look @ all that awesome loot!!
I lurve beans! I really don't have a favorite, I pretty much like them all equally. Well, maybe I like white beans and kidney beans a little more than others. hehe
Im not the biggest bean lover, but I'm trying to convert! so far I have tried black beans, kidney beans and pinto-- they were okay!
Beans are on my list of foods to eat more of this coming year. Economical and versatile, I feel like I don't utilize them like I could.
And by sugar, I assume you mean added refined sugar? Because technically there's still sugar in fruits, veggies, yogurt, etc.
Eek, good luck, Kelsey! You can do it, I know you can. I'm proud of you and it was cool to see all your groceries, haha. <3
Just wanted to step by and wish you a belated Happy New Year!
