No doubt you’ve made some type of resolution for the New Year, such as resolving to exercise more, eat healthier or lose weight. Sounds exhausting! Rather than biting off more than you can chew, try these simple and fun tips for making small changes toward a healthier you that will stick.
Once again, Nugget Markets took care of the cooking, and sent each of the following guests home with a complete holiday meal to enjoy with their families!

We’re very excited to be the first store in the nation to carry VitalBulk’s Super Green bulk vitamin dispenser. This patented system reduces costs and materials while dispensing a wide variety of bulk vitamins, including Basic One-Multi Vitamin, C Caps, Calcium Citrate with Vitamin D3, Cal-Mag Citrate, Vitamin D3, 1200 Ωmega-3 Fish Oil, Flax Oil, and Glucosamine Sulfate. In addition to eliminating bottles and caps, you’re significantly reducing your use of packaging material and your carbon footprint. VitalBulk’s dispenser ensures cleanliness and shelf life with VitalBulk’s bag-liner and secondary dispensing technology, so the supplements are safely sealed. After being sealed in the factory, there is no potential contamination from handling at the store level. Our Vacaville store is piloting this program and we hope that with its success we will be able to bring this technology to all our stores. Look for the VitalBulk display in our Healthy Living department. Not only are you being green by buying in bulk, you’re also saving green (money that is)!
Wines with bubbles — some are dry, some are sweet, and all are guaranteed to lift your spirits. These offerings are the ideal way to start a meal, pairing wonderfully with appetizers while refreshing your palate.
Zardetto Prosecco, Prosecco DOC (Italy): We love Proseccos because theyare intensely fruity, with aromas and flavors of apples, pears and citrus. They are more delicate on the palate than some other sparkling wines and are just as fun! And you can enjoy them more often because they are so affordable. This one is currently our best deal! 750ml. $9.99, Save $8
In the spirit of giving, Nugget Markets’ kitchens prepared and gave away 20 complete holiday meals this Thanksgiving! Each feast fed up to eight people, and included the winner’s choice of either a Whole Cooked Turkey with Turkey Gravy -or- Chef-Prepared Ham with a Brown Sugar and Mustard Glaze along with Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Forest Mushroom and Walnut Stuffing, Gingered Sweet Potatoes, Green Beans and Brandied Cranberries.
479º Popcorn — it’s San Francisco’s latest craze! But why 479º? Because 479º Farenheit is the optimal temperature for popping corn! This line is handmade in small batches and has unique flavor profiles, including Black Truffle & White Cheddar and Fleur de Sel Caramel. Crack a bag open, but beware — you might finish it all in one sitting! • Stephanie Stille, Specialty & Ethnic Foods

Have you ever wondered where coffee gets its flavor? Does the origin of the bean or the length of time a bean is roasted affect the flavor of your coffee? The answer is both! The origin characteristics usually influence the look, taste and smell of the coffee, while the roast degree affects the flavor intensity: as the beans caramelize throughout the roasting process, the origin characters of the beans are muted and new aromas are developed.
For both flavor and aroma, we love coffees from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.
