    I tend to go for whatever's on sale or in season. Today I bought: apples, kiwi, blackberries, spinach, mushrooms, and baby carrots. I also supplement with a lot of frozen veggies. Green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, onions, chopped peppers, and a bunch of veggie mixes are in my freezer now. I also tend to keep canned beans and canned tomatoes on hand.

    I love the extra sweet strawberries at trader joe` s and the packaged fresh pineapple. Peaches and apricots when in season. The brussel sprouts, English peas, and roasted beets are yummy to!

    My shopping list will always have

    Carrots
    Potato
    Sweet potato
    Zucchini
    Capsicum
    Watermelon
    Berries
    Tomato
    Salad greens
    Apples

    So today I've run out of berries and watermelon and my daughter was not happy. Better that than not being happy about not having chocolate in the house.
