A few things I always have on hand/ eat a lot of:

eggs
avocados
almond milk
Peanut or almond butter
Baby spinach or kale
chicken breast
ground turkey
lean ground beef
cauliflower
spaghetti squash
mushrooms
zucchini
bananas
garlic
onions
celery
bell peppers
tomatoes
beans
tuna
tomatoes

If you need recipe ideas, I get a lot from skinnytaste.com. I don't do pasta/ mashed potatoes/ or rice so I substitute spaghetti squash, zucchini noodles, or cauliflower "rice" or mash whenever they are in a recipe. her site is great, it's very rare I make something I don't like. also, her recipes are already in the mfp database.

I kind of just wing it when I go grocery shopping, is that bad? lol I make whatever out of the food I buy. I mean, I have certain things that I buy all the time like flaxseeds, organic peanut butter, oats, almond milk, etc. But usually when I go shopping I like to change it up and on a whim. I just kind of go with my gut instinct :laugh:

I'm like Juantonbliss, I used to just wing it. However, I found that this program was totally worth it to me especially with a family. We not only want be healthy, but really needed to stay on a budget (www.mealplans4thefamily.com). I highly recommend it.
