Whole Foods Love
I don’t venture to Whole Foods that often – if I shopped there every week I’d most definitely be broke. But I needed seitan to make “fried chicken,” a yummy-looking recipe from Skinny Bitch in the Kitch (if you haven’t checked out this cookbook yet, you’ll absolutely salivate over the vegan friendly chicken salad and crab cakes).
So I stopped at Whole Foods and was amazed at how many vegetarian products are on the market today. Chicken tenders, chicken skewers, salmon, shrimp, beef skewers, ground turkey. ALL vegetarian. There was even some kind of chicken cordon.
I remember toward the beginning of my vegetarianism, there were veggie burgers and chik patties. Maybe chik nuggets. I seriously remember when buffalo wings came out and that was a big deal. Never in my wildest dreams did I fathom veggie salmon and chicken skewers.
Anyway, I picked up two packs of seitan, two packs of deli meat (smoked turkey and philly style beef), a chicken breast and two chedder/ham wraps that you heat in the microwave (made by cederlane and they are to die for). I also got some lip gloss and risotto – $28, not bad.
I think I’m going to check out Whole Foods more often. I deserve to indulge in yummy veg food like philly style beef and a salmon filet. And I heard they have delish egg salad there, too.
