~Foods of the Rainbow~

So after stretching the limits on things we luckily still had in stock, we finally went grocery shopping! Sometimes it's nice to clear things out and have a fresh start...not to mention some treasures you find when your pantry has been whittled down to the bare minimum! Oh and clean the fridge! I thought I'd share my grocery run with ya...


Mushrooms, Carrots, Spinach, Tomatoes, Broccoli and Cauliflower, Mixed Greens


Milk, Keifer, Yogurt, Cottage Cheese, Eggs, Tortillas, Pita and Hummus, Fish, Chicken Legs, and Chicken Basil Sausage

Hot Teas...Green, Peppermint, Sleepytime, Get Regular, and just plain Black Tea

Canned Goods: Beans, Olives, Grains & Pasta, Nut butters, Soups




Craig's lunch stuff: This man takes a sandwich and chips to work everyday. Sometimes we change up the bread or he'll add some avocado but he eats a sandwich, chips, sweet, and fruit every.single.time. well there are burrito days and i've offered to change it up but he's accustomed to eating this and says it's easier that heating something up?!?!



Craig's lunch chips, tortilla chips (baked and regular) and Pretzels, Oats Cereal and Granola bars, Maple syrup



Bulk items: Flours (wheat, all purpose, peanut etc) Oats, Sea Salt, yes dark choco chips! more Grains, Legumes and Pastas.

So when we've waited too long to go to the store, there's oranges in the winter/spring, and figs in the summer just growing in our backyard!

not pictured: Onions, Peppers, Garlic and RED WINE!

I have a few stores that I rotate amongst...Trader Joe's is by far my favorite! The only thing I'm not a big fan of is their produce, although it has improved over the years. It's okay though because we have the Farmer's Market every Wednesday and I love getting farm fresh produce that is locally grown without harmful pesticides or hormones! Henry's Market place is another one and they have amazing produce that is super inexpensive and it's also the place I go for my bulk items. We also have the Appletree market which is really only good for last minute things or if something was forgotten or if Craig has run out of some lunch supplies. I love grocery shopping and I usually don't have a list and sometimes that works for me and other times I'll end up having to make another grocery run!
