With all of
the specialty food stores popping up everywhere it can get a little confusing
about where to shop and for what. I have created a list of standouts from some
of the stores that I have explored. I will try to keep this post updated often.
The next time you are out and about and nearby one of these picks, you might
want to drop in and shop!
DELICIOUS ORCHARDS
Of course the obvious to buy is the fresh cider, cider
donuts, fritters and, all of the apple pies.
They have a pretty unique deli as well. The Stripey Jack is one of my
favorites. It’s a mild, smooth cheese that delicious
in salads or on a cracker.
FAIRWAY MARKETS
Fairway’s Own Barbera Sicilian Olive Oil
This is by far one of the best
olive oils I’ve ever tasted with the exception of the olive oil we indulged on
in Tuscany! The Barbera
Sicilian is first cold press, creamy, complex
and a little smoky and slightly peppery. As described by Fairway, this
olive oil is an all-purpose olive oil you can
drizzle liberally on salads, in sauces, marinades, bastes, and sautés, just
short of drinking it straight up!
TRADER JOES
Trader Joe’s Marinated Chipotle Chicken
Skewers
They are
great on the BBQ, low in fat, gluten free and I have to admit I have never
tried to cook them in the oven. The flavor is mild so if you like something
that has more of a kick, you can certainly enhance the flavor by brushing them
with some pepper sauce.
Frozen Fruit Frenzy Bars
Delicious
Layers of Fruit; Raspberry, Lemon and Strawberry
Frozen Mango Chunks
Nothing to
say but YUMMY!
Organic Frozen Brown Rice
I was
skeptical, but I love brown rice and hate to cook it. It takes so long and I
hate waiting. This rice microwaves in 3 minutes and is delicious. The taste,
texture and moistness are perfect.

WEGMANS
The Olive Bar
Wegman’s
Olive/Mediterranean bar is spectacular. I particularly like the Baba Ghanoush,
which is, roasted eggplant, fresh garlic and
spices blended in a creamy dressing, and
the Peppadew peppers are always crisp and fresh.
WHOLE FOODS
The Bulk Spices
If you
haven’t checked it out yet, you should. They sell by weight and you can fill a
spice jar for way less than buying pre-bottled spices. I love bulk spices and
not having to buy new jars!
