Peek inside my basket!
Hey Everybody! It's the day before Thanksgiving! Since I'm busy in the kitchen cooking for the next two days, I thought I would give you a little peek of where I grocery shop. It's called Robert (pronounced "row-bear") and it's near my home.
Robert Fresh Market is small, but it's packed with LOTS of really tasty and unique things! They have freshly cut flowers, daily baked french bread, delectable crawfish pasta, hot beignets, tempting muffalettas, imported wine, specialty ice cream and a wonderful selection of fine cut meats & seafood. If I have BIG grocery shopping to do, I usually shop somewhere else. However, I love the charm of Robert. They have the best stuff! Hope you enjoy!
A Little Lagniappe - I'm taking tomorrow off from blogging (Thanksgiving Holiday)! But I'll be back with a yummy new post Friday!
Did you guys spot the Zapps New Orleans VOODOO Potato Chips? HaHaHa They have voo doo dolls on the bags! Our ice cubes, from Pelican Ice (our state bird) even have New Orleans Saints (for my international readers, that's our local football team) printed on the bags! As you can see from my car seat, I love freshly baked bread. HaHaHa
Have a great Wednesday and tell me what kind of grocery stores YOU like to shop at! BIG or small?
I have a confession. As much as I LOVE shopping, grocery shopping is my least favorite. I don't know why, it just stresses me out! Ha.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a very happy thanksgiving!

I kept looking at prices... So much cheaper to shop in the States than here... :(
ReplyDeleteI LOVE grocery shopping, too, and can spend a lot of time in a supermarket, however I do buy my general groceries on-line and then stop by the shops for special bits and pieces.
Have a lovely day tomorrow!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fancy little grocery store! There's no little stores around here like that so I go food shopping in a huge Stop & Shop. They have great deals though.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Thanksgiving, Kim!

I prefer the smaller shops...easier to get around and less temptation to buy rubbish! Have a fabulous day tomorrow Kim:)

This looks like a grocery store that would actually make food shopping fun and everything looks so fresh. I prefer bigger grocery store cause I'm all about one stop shopping haha. Have a wonderful and delicious Thanksgiving Kim!

I LOVE this post! Perhaps my favorite on your blog! I love grocery shopping. I do WAY too much impulse shopping in the grocery store. I love selecting produce and fresh breads!
ReplyDeleteOh and thanks so much for the comment on Stephan's style post! I'm glad you liked the pictures because I am featuring him again sometime!

I love shops like this where you can often find unusual brands. The fresh produce looks wonderful - I would definitely enjoy shopping here. It's far more relaxed than a supermarket. Have a lovely Thanksgiving, Kim.

Ohhh I would like to shop there, everything looks so fresh and yum!Wishing you a very happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThis looks a lot like the Trader Joe's we have locally!
ReplyDeleteI love grocery places like that! I can probably be there for hours:p Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteSuch great grocery photos! LOVE all the fresh produce. I've been doing tons of shopping at grocery stores lately Kim, since I'm trying to eat healthier so my trips happen more often. Some are Stop & Shop, Trade Fair and Trader Joe's. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great Thanksgiving Holiday and enjoy all the treats. HUGS!

I need to go for a grocery shopping because we used to cook a lot on Thanks Giving Day. I hope you had best shopping over there. Happy Thanks Giving.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post, Kim! And that little grocery story looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt might sound weird but one of the things I like doing when travelling to new countries is visiting local supermarkets and browse the different foods you can find there hehehe
I love the picture of the black corn, that's something we don't have in Europe and I would love to try sometime. The pumpkins also look delicious :)
Very happy Thanksgiving!

Your store seems to be stocked with a lot of great items. I'll be cooking for thanksgiving as well but I do most of my shopping at Ralphs, Food 4 Less (both Kroger owned) and Fresh n Easy. Have a great Thanksgiving!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great thanksgiving Kim, you deserve it, I hope you will post some of those beautiful recipes you are preparing, that supermarket looks fantastic and the flowers are stunning.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to say thanks a lot for your comment on the movie review, I was a bit blue and you make my day.
Spend best thanksgiving ever, kisses
Happy thanksgiving Kim! Thank you for being such a sweet blogger friemd *hugz*
ReplyDeleteI love grocery shopping even if I'm not buying anything. I really love how you all have such huge grocery stores in the States.
I really love going to markets like this, my parents always went to fresh markets early morning growing up. Although I don't particularly enjoy going to the grocer, I do love going to markets like this. Enjoy your Thanksgiving time! xx
ReplyDeleteKim you have great taste even when it comes to grocery shopping! I enjoyed the display of fresh food! And I'd love the woodoo potatoes, I have a crush on stories/movies set in New Orleans and everything related to it. I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and I am thankful for your friendship.Kisses Coco
ReplyDeleteNow Im hungry!

Happy Thanksgiving darling! Ooo..Looks like you had a big sweep at the grocery store =D The ham looks good!!
ReplyDeleteFor me, I don't cook so I'm not the one who does the grocery shopping. My bf aka personal chef, does the shopping and he always complain about how frustrating it is to get everything in 1 grocery store here. He got to run like 2-3 places to complete his list and he said unlike back home where he can do 1 round and that's it...blah blah blah...
