Show me your grocery list

Rosemarose

Hi everyone,

I am going shopping later for the week. Little by little I have been substituting healthy options in our pantry and fridge. Can you tell me what items are on your grocery list? Give me some ideas of things I should be picking up. Any "must haves"?

Thanks!

always fresh fruits and veggies, organic milk, organic meats, raw nuts, hummus. Absolutely nothing with the word enriched in it and nothing processed.

Xandi

My list is long and varied...
If you want to try some fun stuff, that tastes great and my kids and Hubby eat it as well going back for seconds.
Try some of the recipes at Skinnytaste.com you can put the recipes in a recipe box and then load them onto a shopping list. print it out from the computer of load the app on your smartphone and *poof* a shopping list. And the best part --- It is FREE!

So mainly after getting an idea of what I want to make I use the list to stock the fridge and pantry. It has been so easy. Hope this helps.

Bump

I by alot of fresh fruit, fresh veggies, and fresh seafood. I go grocery shopping weekly.

I ALWAYS keep salad fixings in the fridge. I buy romaine hearts and chop them up, then put them in a bowl. The trick is to put paper towels on the bottom of the bowl AND place paper towels on top before you store it. Keeps the lettuce from getting to much moisture and rotting. My salad keeps fresh for a week! I always have it to grab without any effort.
