Good morn...as I wake up to the sounds of the pounding of NYC cement crusher. This is better than an alarm clock, which I do not use. Anywhere from 5 to 8 hours of sleep gets me up on time for anything. My body clock works for me.
Today I am cooking eggs scrambled soft. The eggs I purchase are roam free hens filled with Omega 3. I then go to my fridge and cut up some tomatoes on the vine and pepper to taste. One piece of whole 7 grain wheat bread and spread with strawberry preserves.
This meal consists of my dairy, fruit, grains and bread content for my personal diet.To find out your own calorie intake for your size, weight and sex, click and visit this site. To top it off, I will have the "One Cup Per Day" of Bustelo coffee freshly brewed. But I prefer to have some sort of juice. Pomagranete mix.
As the smart consumer knows, these cage free or organic eggs can be pretty expensive. Consider that I am only feeding myself, I shop at the Co-Op markets in my neighborhood, ie: Park Slope Coop and I only buy when its on sale if I'm shopping someplace else. There are many locations of Food Coop in the NYC area. Find one in your neck of the woods.
I am also consistent with making sure I purchase foods that are locally grown. Meaning anywhere from around the corner to 25-50 miles. This allows for the food to travel less to get to my neighborhood, less gas and fresher food. I shop in my neighborhood's farmers markets. If I'm doing big shopping, I look for coupons, check the weekly adds that are left on my step and view while I'm riding the train and plan my meals for the week. By clicking on coupons, you will find Coupon Queen. I viewed her on WNYE-1 and I saw her cut a $114 food bill to about $29. She not only gives you coupons, she educate's you on how to MAXIMIZE your food shopping experience and can save $$$ for you big.
I also visit other neighborhoods like Brooklyn's China town, the Russian area or where my brotherin Jewish neighborhoods. I have walked out the Russian neighborhood store's with 2 bags and I only spent $20. They have a different variety of food selection.
All of this has allowed me to be aware of how I spend my $$$ on food.
Bon Appetit!
