Fiesta had THE best peppers I've ever seen! Fully ripe, the red especially, and a great price. I got red, and orange (orange has zeanthanin (sp), good for your eyes), zukes, onions, cauliflower, carrots. You saute these in grapeseed oil, add flavors you like from Greek oregano to turmeric and a little each of salty/sweet/tangy flavorings. This veg mix goes with anything. I freeze 1-meal packets, easy to put in fridge that morning to partly thaw by supper.
In packaged processed items you might, as anywhere, check labels for anything you wouldn't put in at home, or want in your body. MSG or HFCS never, why are these corporations even allowed to sell these?! You can use search terms online to find out the effects of the highly processed food products with the whole-food nutrients usually stripped out (then sold to us, $$ in another package as "health food").
Or salt as a top ingredient, say. The DIY at home tastes better, gets you better health, costs less, & people you make food for have a better experience. You're spending a few minutes to get a big return. I make a batch of some sauce or flavoring blend, use, put some in the freezer. You can mix it once & have it ready-to-use for the next few weeks.
More exciting flavor than just salt -- maybe add umami via soy sauce or "Better Than Bouillon". I balance the salty elements with anything tangy or bitter like a midrange balsamic vinegar. Instead of the expensive bottles, you can simmer one down to a concentrate. And next for balance, sweet -- what you like. I use molasses a lot for the flavor that's beyond just white sugar, and the minerals. It's stronger so you use less. The same way soy/tamari or bouillon will make your food delicious with less actual sodium than straight salt. Giving yourself/your household the best, you deserve it, don't you think?
Anytime you can get several good results at once it seems worth trying. Enjoy better flavors, customized to you -- by you; control what goes into your body, build health, save money. I buy dry beans, barley 5 minute (best texture) oats, raw veg, things you can see at a glance what it is. Then drop all kinds of stuff in to make it more interesting to eat.
Also they carry good foods grown in Canada, from a company "Best Yet" in Keene, NH - where I used to live! And pomegranate juice from Azerbaijan, organic packed in glass. Exploring Fiesta is fun, like a...
Read moreWhile there are some small places to shop here the main business is a Fiesta. While the drivers in the parking lot are not the stores' fault I would say that if you come here you are putting your vehical and yourself at risk. No one seems to realize there are others around them.
While I cannot speak for the dental office or many of the small businesses I can address the HEB want-to-be, the Fiesta. The supermarket is dirty, disorganized, and over priced for it's atmosphere. The meat, produce, and bakery goods look like they had reached or have gone past their exertion dates. The place reaked of an oder I could not and did not want to place. Unless you have shop...
Read moreDelwood is a convenient little shopping center. It has a large grocery store with all sorts of international food items. Their vegetable prices are often half the price charged by HEB grocery stores nearby. It has a nice shoes, boots and leather goods repair shop which I've used much more than I ever thought I would. It also has a great auto parts store that's not always packed with people waiting in line. There is plenty of parking and the parking lot is...
