    I have separate lists for me, and then my family. Mine currently looks like-

    couple top sirloin petite steaks (8 ounces each)
    pound of ground sausage
    mushrooms, at least 2 pkgs of sliced and then usually a pkg of the big stuffing ones
    onions
    bell peppers-green for salads and to add to the pork/steak and red to make stuffed peppers (with pork, onions and cheddar-delish!)
    bananas
    almonds/nuts
    honey, when I run out
    dark chocolate, when I run out
    butter (usually go through a pound every other week)
    lettuce
    regular ranch dressing, when I run out
    steak sauce, when I run out
    other misc. veggies and fruit that I find at the farmers market (just opened for the season yay!)
    plain, full fat Greek yogurt

    That's about it for my list :) When I get bored with the steaks/pork I'll change up the meat, but otherwise everything else stays the same for the most part. I also go through a dozen eggs on me (another for my family) and I get those from my in-laws or at the farmers market.

    Because they eat wheat/grains and I don't :) I also follow 8:16IF and eat at separate times than they do.
