Last pasta I bought was Pappardelle's at the Farmer's Market, I keep brown rice in stock and also make sure to have oats and cereal (Cascadian Farms or Kashi) on hand as well. Seriously that is what it has come down to. I keep out the middle aisles and keep to the perimeter of the store.

I love food and look forward to grocery shopping all the time!!

I'm still getting the hang of actually trying to eat healthy, but things that I can't do without are coffee, creamer (peppermint mocha is my favorite right now), 1% cottage cheese, fat free organic milk, and some sort of cereal (honey nut cheerios right now). Just went shopping earlier today and got lots of good stuff, so hopefully some of that will become more regular in my diet.
