Can I Eat At River's? Plant-Based Meals

HOW TO LOWER GROCERY COSTS 🥦
One of the biggest expenses when it comes to high food cost is not being organized or planning ahead. This causes us to default and buy something quick and easy but usually more expensive than a home cooked meal.
Now that most of us are at home and have the time, start meal planning.
Here are a few tips that our household has found helpful.
1️⃣ Buy in bulk. We have found zero-waste grocery shopping actually saves us money. FYI there is going to be a new zero waste grocery store opening in Kelowna early this summer.
2️⃣ Cook from scratch and batch cook. Leave out expensive prepackaged foods.
3️⃣ Switch out meat and cheese for dried beans. Not only are beans, lentils etc inexpensive, but they have lots of fibre and protein to keep you fuller longer and have less sodium than canned beans. When we went whole foods plant based our grocery bill dropped significantly. Also the added health benefits more energy, reduced inflammation and feeling better overall.
4️⃣ Buy produce that is in season.
5️⃣ Meal plan, find meals that are tasty and satisfing like chili, curries, stews also very inexpensive to make.
6️⃣ Monitor your families eating habits, are you eating out of boredom, which a lot of us are doing right now or actual hunger. If boredom is the case distract the family with an activity.
All recipes can be found in the Can I Eat At River’s? Spring Meal Planner link in bio.

I want to share why I decided to team up with to do a fundraiser.
I grew up on a hobby farm in rural NS and come from a long line of animal lovers. That gene is extremely prevalent in River.
Since we don't have animals River is in his glory when we get to go back to “Oba Scotia” to visit family.
Since becoming a mother my soft spot for caring for the volunerable members of our society has grown.
And any organization that makes it their mission to look out for these members, I want to support! I also understand the time and resources it takes to care of these animals.
Thank you to all who participated in this fundraiser. We raised $60 for Critteraid!
