Im trying to mix it up a bit. Im stuck in a rut and I really need to change it up.
What do you always buy to keep in the fridge, freezer, or counter and what do you make with it or eat with it?

    Almond milk :)

    I use it in my cereal. I also use it for my Shakeology shakes. I used it to make some banana ice cream with frozen bananas the other day too. I just love it and it only has 60 calories.

    non fat cream cheese. It's good on crackers, toast or mixed into things like pasta and rice. I've used it as a cheese or butter (or both) substitute when I want a tasty sandwich. Cream cheese, lettuce, tomato on a bun is good!

    There's a GREAT (free) app for Android and iPhone devices. It's called FOODUCATE, you scan the barcodes of the food you're going to buy and it grades it...will even give you healthier alternatives. Great add!

    Cheers!

    industrial size salsa. It's low calorie. On or in beans, eggs, rice, pasta, steel-cut oats(really), barley, vegetables, and about 100 other things I'm not thinking about. If you are from the mid-west you can get "Mild" :smile:

    Avocado. I put it in everything. Salads, sandwiches... sometimes I'll eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I'll make a very light breakfast burrito with one scrambled eggs, sliced avocado, pico de gallo, and two corn tortillas.

    I like pesto. I haven't purchased it as of late, but I like to use it as a spread for sandwiches rather than mayo. It creates a very nice taste.

    I like hummus because it makes my veggies even more delicious.

    I also have tilapia and canned tuna. Easy to make for simple lunches and dinner!

    Eggs and reduced fat string cheese. When I can't figure out what to eat I have an egg white omelette. Which is every day, and often includes string cheese.

    I have to try the Almond Milk I almost picked some up the other day. Okay my grocery list... lets see... I always get fruit about one or two of whatever is on sale along with apples, oranges, pears, bananas ( I have a basket on my counter at home and on my desk at work), brocolli is always in my basket (husband is addicted), yogurt, low carb wraps, grilled chicken (pop it in the microwave and add to whatever), sugar free jello, some form of cereal. I really like variety so my basket looks very different every week except for these items.

    Chicken or fish I buy frozen and in bulk along with ground turkey and a few boxes of pasta are always good to have on hand.

    Then for at least a month all I have to focus on are snacks and sides
    I always make sure I have brown rice, lemon, Veggies of any kind and A sweet snack and savory snack for the nights I get the munchies.

    And franks red hot is always in stock...or else chaos will ensue.

    I think it can be challenging to get inspired about food this time of year. It's hot, so cooking isn't that fun being in a hot kitchen and all. You can get creative with salads, but at the end of the days, it's still just salad.

    I've been making up salsa recipes and putting them on everything savory lately. The spiciness gives me a satisfaction that I'm not getting elsewhere in my diet.
