Nutmeg Notebook Sunday Morning Grocery Haul

[@gingershaffer2547]

SQUEAL!!!! I have recently started watching your videos and WOW! You are awesome 🎉 So very thorough and such great content!!! It's like having a friend who cares enough to help so that your life can be better! Thank you to you and Tom for teaching me and helping me ❤. It's really been overwhelming trying to navigate from the SAD way of eating to WFPB vegan! Knowledge and inspiration both! Yay!!! God bless you ❤

[@NutmegNotebook]

Welcome aboard! Thank you so much for watching and leaving such a nice comment.

[@colettecutrone8763]

Loved your tip about using the dough hook on the hand mixer to integrate the oil into the nut butter. Genius tip!!

[@NutmegNotebook]

I am so happy the video was helpful!

[@jackieo2403]

HI! I so enjoyed this grocery haul. It feels like it has been a long time since I was watching you from your kitchen! I know your busy and have a lot of things on the go, but I miss the live chats where you answered questions, explained a facet of going/being plant based etc. I know you are probably tire of those type of vids but I loved them. Regardless I will watch any videos you put out. Thanks for all the hard work you both do, it helps keep me on track and I like feeling like a part of likeminded group.

[@NutmegNotebook]

@@jackieo2403 Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful comments. We had a lot of fun doing those live talks. It’s great to know you enjoyed those videos. I’m not sure what we will do regarding live shows in the future other than grocery hauls. But we might pop on and do an impromptu live now and again. Of course recipe videos and such are still in the works. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. ❤️

[@NutmegNotebook]

@@jackieo2403 I do post daily on Instagram and Facebook with lots of recipes, weight loss tips and what we are eating. Here is a recent post. m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0RbArPyzg7zkMZU2aMSfdbJ6HGsE9riAYzdXs4nHF8WXNdQTdPQwDLG6h649AFj3Ml&id=100063500652927&mibextid=cr9u03

[@angi334]

Thank you for the tip about freezing the sprouted oats. I didn’t realize they could go rancid. I keep mine on the counter and it takes me quite a while to use the whole bag.

[@NutmegNotebook]

@@angi334 Freezing works great!

[@schhnan]

I cook acorn squash like my mother did…..poke it several times, put on parchment lined pan….and put the WHOLE squash in the oven….60 min for 45=60 min. Much easier than cutting in half…..

[@NutmegNotebook]

Sounds great!

[@plantbased-chicoca8654]

@tami turn the jar of peanut butter upside down over night then mix. Works perfectly.

[@NutmegNotebook]

@@plantbased-chicoca8654 I haven’t had good luck with doing that. Maybe I haven’t left it upside down long enough. I’ll have to try again. Thanks so much for sharing a tip!

[@olgas7799]

Awesome video! Yes, I’d love to see you using your batch prepped foods made into meals. Thank you for what you do!

[@NutmegNotebook]

@@olgas7799 Thank you for the feedback! Thank you for watching.

Good for us to see all this shopping. You van always get more at your Costco than me here at a small store in Georgetown, TX We’re happy to have one. They have a lot of I don’t go to Whole Foods very often. It is a little over an hour one way. I am interested in getting the burger you mentioned. I guess i need to go back to get the name. I was preparing our breakfast. Thanks for sharing. Wonderful you showed a picture of you, your mom, and son.

[@NutmegNotebook]

No Bull Burger

[@Marilyn7733]

I never get tired of watching your grocery hauls! I sure hope our Costco carries the organic canned pumpkin, that’s a great deal. It’s that time of year, I’ll be making some of your pumpkin recipes. They’re all delicious. Thanks. 😊

[@NutmegNotebook]

@@Marilyn7733 I’m so ready for pumpkin recipes.

[@emiliejoshi]

Thanks so much for your grocery haul video! As always, fantastic video. So helpful. You and Tom are the best. Thank you!

[@NutmegNotebook]

@@emiliejoshi Thank you for watching and for your kind words! ❤️

[@JillianSmith-bn5vj]

Love your comment re the plastic police - it’s not just in Northern California where most things,organic or not, are sold in plastic. I live in regional Victoria, Australia where most of the fruit and vegetables sold in supermarkets come in plastic. It’s the same when we are in England - plastic is everywhere

[@chrisfry436]

Oh my goodness the plastic used in Japan and Korea at the grocery is incredible!!!!!! they wrap single pieces of fruit, two onions, top baskets with more plastic...people I have seen don't bring re-usable produce bags because it is already packaged....

[@NutmegNotebook]

@@JillianSmith-bn5vj Thanks for sharing. We do the best we can with purchasing organic food that is affordable. We have seen some improvements at some of the stores now using paper trays to put the food instead of plastic etc.

[@JillianSmith-bn5vj]

@@NutmegNotebook Like yours, some of our produce is in cardboard trays but then covered in plastic so we also can only do our best.

[@jennaburkman8071]

Great video! I would love to see some easy lunch box ideas you might put in your grandkids lunch boxes!

[@NutmegNotebook]

They are home schooled so no lunch boxes need to be packed as they get to eat at home every day! But we can share what some of those meals look like!

[@gingermitchell5441]

Yay for this content! Thank you! Where are you eating out now that Zest is closed?

[@NutmegNotebook]

@@gingermitchell5441 we don’t eat out very often. We do like pho vegan Asian cuisine in Rocklin. They have an oil free and gluten free menu. The Tami’s Special is not on the menu but it is in their computer. It is a veggie stir, fry oil free, sugar free, gluten free over Brown rice. Delicious! www.smorefood.com/order-online/pho-vegan-asian-cuisine-rocklin-95677-1xlrgj85?

Doug Evans has a recipe for making sauerkraut without salt using celery juice. I haven't tried it yet.

[@NutmegNotebook]

@@tracyhuckaby5876 I don’t know! 🤷‍♀️

You are so lucky to get so many organic vegetables and fruits at Costco. In Canada we only get a few organic ones

[@NutmegNotebook]

Oh wow!

Everything I would buy!

Just saw a great recipe for a salad dressing made with zucchini

[@NutmegNotebook]

Sounds great!

[@dianerobertson7988]

It’s pumpkin season! Go buy 2-3 pie pumpkins and roast and freeze in 1 cup servings! I was told that canned pumpkin is not really pumpkin but different squashes.

[@NutmegNotebook]

@@dianerobertson7988 I did buy 2 pumpkins for pies today at Costco but forgot to show them! I do however like canned pumpkin for convenience.

[@kat4animals004]

Thank you for not Shying away from the saying the word Vegan! ❤☮️☀️ Oh, but did you do a quote gesture when saying Vegan? Just curious. No worries if youre busy, dont see this message and dont answer. Lots of great items here! Just was watching your Vegan penne pasta recipe vid, yumm!

[@NutmegNotebook]

@@kat4animals004 I don’t know why I did air quotes when I said vegan, I didn’t even realize I did that until you mentioned it. I had Tom take that out because it was confusing. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. ♥️

[@kat4animals004]

@@NutmegNotebook oh, I did not suggest that you alter your video at al! I was just curious! Thanks for your reply! Always appreciated! ❤️☮️

[@karinabuller783]

I have a blog post all about winter squash. Here is the link: nutmegnotebook.com/posts/winter-squash-butternut-acorn-and-kabocha/

[@jenmv3483]

Please show us what'd you make with tofu

[@Frandallina]

Hello- in your inernet search engine, you can type in: Nutmeg notebook tofu and her tofu recipes on her blog will come up for you to choose from. Hope that helps.

[@amymartin5753]

I eat 1/2 block of tofu daily with breakfast. I slice it and pan cook to brown on both sides - then do open faced breakfast sandwich (one slice Ezekiel bread) with avocado and salsa- sometimes add a slice of tomato or roasted bell pepper. It has the texture of an egg without the eggy flavor. Lots of protein, calcium and iron. My favorite meal of the day.

[@antheaphillips5679]

You said you freeze the squash - do you take it out of the package or just freeze it as is?

[@NutmegNotebook]

@@antheaphillips5679 you can pop the whole pkg into a gallon size freezer bag.

[@kat4animals004]

I stopped buying bananas at Costco years ago because they never really rippened even though it looked like it. They have been bitter... The ones you got must be good. Ill try again. Im also in CA.

[@annerudziensky9313]

??How long will it take you to eat that much produce?

[@NutmegNotebook]

@@annerudziensky9313 one week! But some will go into batch cooked food that will be frozen for future meals. Some will be cooked and shared with family.

[@traciireese1449]

????are the bell peppers you buy at Costco organic?????

[@NutmegNotebook]

@@traciireese1449 They don’t always have organic peppers but when they do I buy them. Otherwise I get organic ones at at Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s.

[@karinabuller783]

Love all you both do and show tami. One thing ide love you to try its somthing I can't find , is can you make ure own curry sauce , to pour over anything a recipe on this would be absolutely brilliant, also a Chinese flavour easy sauce or marinade ❤

Tami are you still fat free?

[@NutmegNotebook]

We are oil free but not fat free. There is some natural healthy fats in things like tofu, avocado, tahini, nuts and nut butter. I avoided those when I was losing weight but now allow some in my weekly diet.
