Grocery List

Some smart bugger once said: When you go to the grocery store just shop the periphery not the interior. In other words all the fresh stuff is on the outside walls and all the processed crap is on the shelves in the interior. In general.
This!^^
I step in to the aisles for canned tuna and salmon and canned veggies for quick meals. LOTS of fresh fruit and Dannon nonfat plain yogurt. (Still frozen berries in yogurt makes an ice creamy like meal!) I eat lots of fruit. Not so good on the veggies some of the time just because I don't cook much living alone.0 -
Stuff I always try to keep in stock in the pantry:
Corn tortillas
Brown rice
Anything in the produce area that looks good
Canned no-salt-added tomato products
TVP
Onions
Nonfat Greek yogurt
Things I always buy if they are on sale or look especially good:
Kale
Fennel bulbs
Asparagus
Brussels Sprouts
Avocados0 -

avocados

tomatoes
mushrooms

garlic, basil and/or other spices
