Back to School Meal Worries? We got you covered!



Now that school is back in session (Welcome back everybody), everyone and anyone who is a parent, grandparent, step-parent, aunt, uncle, etc…have “what to feed the family” on their minds. Most want a nutritious, yet quick and easy way to get dinner on the table but lack the time to prepare meals each and every night. Parents of college students living away from home, probably worry about the same thing when it comes to their budding adult children. Well, I am here to tell you, in my best Super Hero pose possible, "Put those worries to rest, right now!"
The Monument Market can and will help! We serve homemade, good for you foods that are made with ingredients we stock fresh each and every day, with breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner in mind. Our deli is full of variety when it comes to salads both seasonal and fan favorites from the Monument Café’s menu, and there are no preservatives in anything other than the occasional vinegar or salt that just adds flavor. The ingredients can be pronounced and understood, nothing hidden, nothing added and we pride ourselves on that fact, let alone that some of the produce that rests on our tables came out of our very own organic gardens! 

Worried about allergies and sensitivities to foods? We serve gluten free options even when making our fresh deli sandwiches. Gluten free treats can be found all over the Market, up to and including breads, brownies, pasta, mixes, sauces and salad and don’t forget our Nationally recognized as one of the top 16 pies to eat in the US ( https://www.thrillist.com/eat/nation/best-pies-in-america-thrillist-nation), the Monument Chocolate Pie. Again, ingredients like chocolate, cream, pecans, nothing but pure and simple food; rich yes, but also so simple oh and GLUTEN FREE. Our jams and jellies are gluten free as well and can be enjoyed on just about anything! Local honey is offered and helps with seasonal pollen allergies that it seems only Texas has. If there are concerns about other food allergies, just let us know, we are happy to help find the food that is right for you!
Low pasteurized milk, local USDA organic eggs, pure butter, uncured bacon, organic and pasture raised meats line our cooler and freezer shelves. We also offer sea food, and chicken breast both of which have never been frozen.  For the animal conscious, we even offer house made veggie burgers. 

  Tart and tangy Kombucha, fresh smoothies from real fruit (not powder), freshly brewed, hot fair trade coffee, and luxurious local teas top the list for anyone looking to quench their thirst. If you are looking for local and good, we are here to serve it, sell it, offer it, and all with a smile. 


Now, you might be thinking that shopping with us might be hard to fit into the budget, after all, getting back to school may have almost wiped out the bank account. Well, we do offer specials on our frozen entrees, and rotisserie chickens. Buy one main course and two large deli sides for $19.95, each and every day! It’s enough to feed 2-4 people! And if that wasn't enough, buying any dozen of either our classic chocolate chip, vintage oatmeal, or decadent cranberry orange cookies, baked fresh, gets you two of those babies free, and buy 4 veggie burger patties and  get your 5th free…how is that? Smiling with relief yet? I thought you might be.
So, come to our Market, any day from 8am-8pm. We are located beside the Monument Café at 500 South Austin Avenue (where great food is also served), and leave your worries at the door; we are here to save the day!
