Hot News In the Madison Grocery Market....

By -
There are a LOT of fun changes coming to those of us that live by the capitol of this great state of Wisconsin!

 
You have heard me talk of HyVee buying Westgate Mall and starting to build their store this spring.
There is ANOTHER HyVee store coming too -- in Fitchburg's Orchard Point area. Both should be up and running spring of 2013.

 
Metcalfe's Sentry is now open at the old Cub Foods West location. They are striving for large changes in the way we look at grocery shopping - like an old fashioned meat counter that packages items for you, as you buy it. No prepackaged meats sitting in a cooler to pick up -- it's a throw back to the old customer service days. (Do you remember what that is -- customer service? We see it so rarely nowadays, ha!). They are open DURING their renovation of the store - and think it should be complete by November of this year. A Grand Opening would be fun -- it's neat to take the kiddos to!

 
The big Walmart project for Sun Prairie is on hold -- although the big article in the Sunday Wisconsin State Journal missed that fact in their article, LOL! I feel it's partially because the megga Woodman's is under way (planning to be open in September 2012 and Costco breaks ground soon too, in April. They plan to be open by fall of this year (2012).

We don't want to leave out the Madison East market -- a new Copp's will be coming to Grandview Commons. Don't hold your breath - it is still in the early planning stages.
:)

 
The big players?
It seems to be shaking out HyVee  vs. Metcalfe's, which is funny as HyVee was going after the Roundy's Chain (Copp's and Pick N Save stores)...although there will be an incredible selection of stores just outside of Sun Prairie:
  • Copp's
  • Target
  • Walgreen's
  • Woodman's
  • Costco
  • And maybe, one day a megga Walmart
Happy Shopping!

Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out You get new recipes You often have snacks or games! That being said, I do one every year - in December, about 2 weeks before Christmas. (You can read about it HERE or see a TV segment I did on it http://youtu.be/-iUR7GlAiQw ).

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs
