New ideas for my grocery list

CatchMom11

My Sunday supermarket trip is coming up and I'm trying to find some new ideas to add to my list. I've got my "go-to's" but I'm looking for some new ideas.

Any suggestions?

Stick to the outside aisles w/lots of fresh produce and fruits. You can't go wrong. Also look through lite or Weight Watcher Cookbooks before you go to get new ideas. I made leeks in the oven w/orange juice marianade before and they were great-something I'd not tried before. Good luck!

My go-to snacks are pita crisps and tropical trail mix.

I wish I could offer up some advice but I'm also getting a little bored with the same old, same old...

- Chicken
- Carrots
- Celery
- Oatmeal
- Bananas
- Yogurt

I do different things with these items but totally need to liven it up, lol!

http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/02/cauliflower-fritters-25.html - We love these Cauliflower Fritters! I mix light Mayo, fresh garlic and a Dry ranch Packet together for a yummy dip!!
You can make Enchiladas with Wheat Tortillas, ground Turkey, and lots of Frozen or fresh veggies and Black Beans,
Turkey burgers on a bed of spinach topped with carmelized onions and mashed avocados! YUMMY!!
Cook Red potatoes, Fresh or frozen Brocolli, Cauliflower, red & Green peppers, Black Beans or any veggies you want with Lime juice, Teriyaki sauce, and fresh Garlic and eat in a tortillas with a little shredded cheese for a yummy vegetarian Fajita!

i really like Snyders White Tortilla chips with homemade salsa. yes, they are still fried but they are fairly low in calories... 140 for 13 chips. they are my salty, crunchy, yummy fix.

Fringo light string cheese
Cuties
Greek yogurt
Pistashios!

Fresh beets (I wrap them in foil and throw them in my crock pot. Stick in the fridge. The skin falls right off and they are like adding candy to a salad. mmmm.)
Goat cheese
Avocado (or Wholly Guacamole single serving packs)
Lesser Evil Kettle Corn
Pierogis (cook with sauteed onions and peppers,serve with a dollop of sour cream and chicken sausage)
Laughing cow cheeses
Spinach
Greek yogurt
Low sodium cottage cheese and unsweetened applesauce
Sun Chips
alfalfa or bean sprouts to spruce up sandwiches

Hmm, I think I need to go shopping too!

Thank you everyone for all the tips! I've been thumbing through magazines for new recipes. I've also taken my current recipes and added a healthy twist to each of them so that way I can still enjoy them.

I think the one thing that I've been wanting to try and haven't been able to find is Almond Butter. I will also be experimenting with spinach based pasta. It's going to depend on the carbs though.

I've never tried hummus so I think I will be adding it as something new to try. There were a few others that you guys suggested that I will be writing down as well.

My husband is surely going to strangle me! lol. He just "LOVES" eating healthy. What he doesn't realize is that, like all the desserts I've ever made, most of what I make is already pretty healthy. It took him 6 years to figure out that his favorite pudding pie that I make, is actually made with sugar free and fat free or reduced fat stuff. What he doesn't know, won't hurt him.

Thanks again you guys!
