Hi Friends!
Happy Monday! My weekend was lots of fun. We finished up some performances for
work in Richmond, and had a ‘Bae Day’ celebration with our friends. And in case
you were wondering… Bae Day = Valentine’s Day, but celebrated at any time.
I am
following along with the 52 Week Blogger Challenge prompts that Sarah EmilyBlogs and Girl Talk Blog are hosting. Today’s prompt is: what’s in my grocery
cart.
Confession
time: Dave did the grocery shopping and took these photos for me while I was at
work yesterday. Also, he cooks 95% of our meals. I don’t know how I got so
lucky J
We usually “meal
plan” only for the week ahead. When I say meal plan, this is a very loose
system. If we want to just eat a cheese plate for dinner one night, we totally
do that. Also, we make a good bunch of the food ahead of time, so that
everything is pre-portioned and ready to take to work. If we eat at home, I
usually re-heat things in the oven. Because it is just the two of us, we
usually only make 2-3 meals each week, then eat the leftovers.
This week
turned out to be a particularly healthy trip to the grocery store (it’s
probably because I wasn’t there…). But this is actually a good example of the
stuff we get every week. The basics, so to say. Dave shopped at Harris Teeter,
and our local farmer’s market.
In our cart
this week we bought:
Apples
Bananas
Spinach
Brown Rice
Half &
Half
Lemon
Broccoli
Rosemary
Celery
Potatoes
Red and
White Onions
Cheddar
Cheese
Shallots
Cut
Mushrooms
Parsnips
Olive Oil
A whole
chicken
La Croix
Seltzer (the lime/cherry cùrate
is my favorite!)
Drain-O

Last night Dave roasted the chicken and made Chicken Noodle Soup. I am planning
to stick some of those mushrooms on a salad for lunch!
Now that I’m
done writing this, I realize how I pretty much have nothing to do with cooking
meals or even really planning them. I really don’t like to cook that much and
see it as a chore, but Dave loves it. This is one example of how we work as a
team to get everything done.
Make sure to stop by tomorrow for a special announcement!!
