For weight loss Wednesday, I participated in Foodie Pen Pals courtesy of Lean Green Bean. What a great idea to send yummy foods to people. I had already eaten one of the Clif Bars before I could take a pic but that's ok. The coconut chips were heavenly and I'm so excited to try the pumpkin soup. I am all about the pumpkin right now. I have decided to participate again and hope to be paired with someone that has Trader Joes. That place has cool food. The best place for good food in Oklahoma City is Whole Foods. To be fair, Oklahoma City needs to get the grocery stores better stocked and better locations. Currently I have no grocery store within 5 minutes of my house. There's a Walmart about 15 minutes away and that would be the closest. What a shame and a hassle for me.
Happy Halloween to those that celebrate it. Clearly, I do not.

Trader Joe's is awesome. I miss having one close.
ReplyDeleteThere so much interesting food at good prices. When will the rest of the US wise up and let Trader Joes do their thing?
ReplyDeleteI've never had pumpkin soup before, now I really want to track some down and try it for lunch. We're getting a Trader Joe's in Greensboro NC, and our first Whole Foods just opened! We're pretty pumped!
ReplyDeleteDon't you love getting food at Whole Foods? They have the best ingredients. I hope you get to enjoy Trader Joes. I love that place!
DeleteGood for you for sticking to your eating plan! Foodie Pen Pals sounds like their doing a great thing. I'm not sure how it works, so I"ll have to click over their and learn more about it. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a chance to look it over. Its a lot of fun! You send a delicious food package to someone and a different person sends you a sweet package. Its fun to meet new people through these swaps.
DeleteMmm Trader Joes pumpkin soup. Is it good?
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried the soup yet but I'm thinking tonight could be a good night for it. I'm sure its great because I just love pumpkin these days.
DeleteHi there, found you through the link up!
ReplyDeleteI don't celebrate Halloween either. Don't feel bad.
I want to try that pumpkin soup...we have NO good grocery stores here either! No whole foods stores...no Walmart...nothing...
Its frustrating to not have a decent place for food. Have you had a hard time coping? We've been here for a year and a half and its been a tough transition on the food front.
DeleteAhh yum! We don't have a Trader Joe's out here either and I miss it!! They have such fun cool stuff!
ReplyDeleteI love their shopping bags and they have a wonderful selection of food.
Deletefoodie pen pals sounds like a great idea!! good for you. I have never even seen a Trader Joes...hear a lot about the place though!!
ReplyDeleteIf you get a chance to visit a Trader Joes, you might want to at least once. They have some great food.
