soldiergrl_101

So i am going food shopping today and need some good ideas that dont require alot of cooking (I suck at cooking hehe). I already got the basics like Fruit/Veggies/Ham & Cheese what else does a healthy person eat lol

my shopping trip for this week was-

kale, spinach, bananas, various colors bell peppers, mushrooms, lettuce and sweet potatoes
several cans of refried black beans
brown rice
cous cous (got a couple boxes of organic cous cous on clearance for $1.50 each!)
raisins
almonds

local orchard
apples

that was it for the week-I had everything else I needed

Pumpkins are in season and super easy to do. Just cut them in quarters, remove the seeds and roast until soft. Then you can puree them and use the puree in smoothies, oatmeal, etc...

Butternut, acorn, apples, blackberries, broccoli, cabbage (these are $0.39 a head a Kroger this week!), cranberries (homemade cranberry jam anyone?), grapes, figs, lettuce, okra, parsnips, sweet potatoes.

Can you come cook for me the flavors you use sound delicious

Rib eye steaks, Pork Roast, Chicken Breasts
Romaine, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Spinach, Tomatoes, Avocado, red bell pepper
Eggs, Milk, string cheese
Pasta (fresh ravioli)

That's what I bought this week. We usually grill steaks and serve with steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes. I typically cook some sort of roast in the crockpot and shred for tacos or salads. I love to poach chicken and make chicken salads. And my boyfriend was craving my home-made marinara sauce so I made that and served over fresh ravioli with a garden salad.

Brown rice, lean hotpocket, raisins, protein bars, grapes, spinach, collard greens, grilled turkey burgers, lean dinners, pop in microwave & go.

other than TONS of fruits veggies and such, I usually keep on hand a lot of canned beans of various varieties, canned chiles, with taco seasoning and fresh sprouted corn tortillas, canned tomatoes, fish (fresh and frozen fillets), brown rice (the boil-in bag kind for quick cooking), quinoa, veggie burgers and canned artichoke hearts. (there are more, but its all veggies of various kinds )

some easy ideas are cook several chicken breast (add some spice - even a some type of pepper corn steak spice) bake on a tray, cover with tin foil to keep moist - and you have ready to eat chicken for salads, sandwiches or just a piece by itself. Great protein too.
Hard boiled eggs are great. I find tuna and the flavored ones great for a meal or snack. Greek yogurt. Any fruit you like.

I find stir-fry is the easiest thing to cook (I also don't have the time or inclination to spend ages cooking) I buy diced turkey or chicken, fry it in olive oil and add chopped veg (different every time) and then rice noodles (no sauces). Each time I make a meal I make double and have it for my lunch the next day so I'm getting healthy meals twice a day and don't have to eat the un-healthier alternatives.

I also have a microwave saucepan- it is AMAZING! You basically chop up your vegetables (or buy them pre-chopped!) and put them in the saucepan with a couple of tablespoons of water and microwave for a couple of mins. it basically steams your veg meaning you are getting them in one of their healthier forms in just a couple of minutes.

If I put veg into a stir fry I steam it first while the meat is cooking so save on time

I've never tried doing anything with pumpkin-adding one to next week's list

A lot of great idea already!

I always keep a stock of canned tomatoes (crushed, diced, sauce, paste, etc.) they have plenty of different flavors too. Add a can of diced to a pan of browned meat and thicken up with tomato paste and you've got homemade sauce.

We always have minced garlic in water and fresh onions on hand. they spice up ANYTHING.

Those bags of spinach in the produce section are super easy to either microwave or quickly saute/wilt in a pan.

Sweet potatoes are easy as well. Microwave for a bit if you need to chop it up and put it into a stir fry. or just bake it.

I keep greek yogurt and nut butters on hand for a quick snack. They go with celery or apples or whatever! I buy the big tubs of greek yogurt to save on $. You can do so much with it. Just started using it instead of mayo in my tuna salad. Add some vanilla and cinnamon and apple chunks for a dessert treat. Dollop onto of homemade fajitas or taco salad instead of sour cream. Watch for excessive sugars in them though!

Canned tuna, chicken, and salmon. I have recently been making some great tuna or salmon cakes that are SUPER easy. ( http://idreamofprotein.wordpress.com/2012/12/09/sweet-potato-tuna-cakes/ or http://dishesanddishes.wordpress.com/2012/03/21/paleo-tuna-cakes/ )

turkey pepperoni, deli turkey, liquid egg whites, unsweetened almond milk, hummus, grapes (i freeze them so that I don't eat the whole bag at once, so tasty frozen too!), frozen turkey patties, jarred pickles, turkey bacon (you can just microwave), peeled/cubed butternut squash (just boil, drain, and mash), any type of salt water fish (just bake with spices and butter), wholly avocado products (guac, salsa, whatever!), baby carrots (to go with guac, salsa, hummus or to rough chop and cook up as a side or in a soup), grated parmesan cheese, and as many frozen veggies that are on sale that will fit in your carriage!! good luck!
