I always have chick peas and tahini in my pantry. Hummus is my go to food when looking for something healthy and delicious.

I love to whip up a quick salsa with fresh veggies from my garden- plum tomatoes, cilantro, jalapenos... I love to dip "Food Should Taste Good" multigrain and tortilla chips! A Big Summer Yum! Also, homemade hummus rocks our house a lot!

I would soooo love this! I usually put 1 Tblspn olive oil in my crockpot, add 1 cup rice and swish around. Add 2 cups broth/water, and 1-2 cans beans. Set crockpot on low for 4+ hours- stir a couple of times during this. Serve with tortillas and cheese, and any toppings you love for homemade burritos!

Whole foods is so great. Influences progressive forward thinking geared towards health in this country.

Watermelon for snacks. I also enjoy guacamole on pretty much anything but especially fish tacos.

The chia seeds have really piqued my interest! Looks like an interesting basket!

Looks yummie and all so good, would look better on my pantry shelf though, LOL. Have a great day. I have a new recipe for chia seeds I want to try as well.

I love Whole Foods, but wish you were closer to where I live. 30 miles away means I can't visit your store as often.

This fits great into my clean eating regimen! Love me some whole foods and I am excited about the new one opening in Marietta, GA at the end of June!

My daughter loves trail mix. I like to buy bulk nuts chocolate chips and dried fruit ( her favorite are dried dates in oat flour), I add some pretzels and call it Mommys surprise.

Frozen watermelon is a great snack! My kids and I love it! And, I like to add atouch of rum or tequila to it in a blender for a grown up refreshing cocktail on summer nights.
