Eating Local on the Road
Earlier this week Thing Two and I headed out to explore the local food options in Rapid City, South Dakota. Thing One stayed home with Brent because he wanted to practice his piano.
Our first stop was the farmers market where we bought some of our fruits and vegetables for the week.
I was happy to find a vendor selling whole free range chickens for $8 a chicken.
We also stopped at Breadroot Natural Foods Co-op.
They had a large selection of bulk items.
I saw some directions for sprouting your own seeds. I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time so I picked up some alfalfa seeds.
After the co-op we stopped at Safeway to pick up the last few things we needed but couldn’t find at the co-op or market.
We came home and laid out our bounty just like the old days when I lived in a house without wheels. (I just got a little homesick reading that old post. I can’t believe our family has been on the road for almost a year!)
Anyway the bounty included quinoa, oats, black beans, red beans, pinto beans, lentils, unsweetened coconut flakes, alfalfa seeds, raw honey, pears, peppers, cucumbers, apples, heirloom tomatoes, and a melon.
I was most excited about the green tomatoes! We made fried green tomatoes last night and I’m looking forward to eating the leftovers with scrambled eggs this morning.
Coming in at a close second were the organic beef hot dogs on sale for $3 a package at the co-op. I know I know, even organic-grass-fed-blessed-by-the-pope hot dogs aren’t really “healthy” but you know what? They taste good! 
I got this mason jar lid strainer to make the sprouting easier. Since we are coming into winter and finding good produce isn’t always an option I thought I’d give sprouting a try.
Has anyone sprouted seeds before? Any advice?
Hugs and High Fives,

I agree, sometimes a hot dog just hits the spot!
I’ve not sprouted seeds… I can’t wait to see how it goes for you.
I had one…okay 2 but no buns….yesterday and they were so good! 😀
Ummm….did you buy a chicken to live in the RV with the 4 of you and your 2 dogs?
I’m not that insane! I bought three dead chickens.
I actually wrote a post about sprouting a few years ago and I think I even re-blogged it once. I have two sprouting lids like that. When one set is done sprouting, I start the next, so I have a constant supply of sprouts. I’m also teaching my freshman bio students how to sprout next week! I just bought a mix of seeds to sprout – broccoli, radish, fenugreek, and clover.

I remembered reading about sprouting from one of my friends but couldn’t remember who. I should have known! Thank you for the link!
Awww, we lived in Rapid City while my husband was stationed at Ellsworth AFB and my son was born there. I belonged to Breadroot Co-op! It used to be tiny but they moved to the bigger store while we were there. And we shopped at Safeway too. We really, really miss living there. Hope you enjoy your time in the Black Hills!
What a great place to live! We love it here! It’s so beautiful, peaceful, and there is a ton of stuff to do. The weather has been fantastic as well.
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s ” THE GREAT ORGANIC” beef hotdog!
