This week’s grocery haul

I spent all day Saturday campaigning for Hillary in Reno, so it was nice to have a Sunday to relax and get life back in order again. Sunday was the start of Rosh Hashanah - the Jewish new year! I celebrated by attempting to bake something with apples and honey - traditional flavors for the holiday - but it ended up being kind of a gluten free gluey baked good. Not as good as last year’s apples and honey breakfast masterpiece. I also celebrated by attending a dinner where the food was much more spot on than my recipe fail!

I swung by Whole Foods to grab groceries for the week. I’m trying to keep weekly groceries between $50-60 for me, but I ended up spending about $68. Probably because I bought honey for the holiday and those such pretty hydrangeas!

On the menu this week:

Breakfast: Bananas with oats or toast or eggs

Lunch: kale salad with lemon/olive oil dressing, japanese sweet potatoes, hard boiled eggs

Dinner: paleo chipotle chili. mix of ground beef/turkey, and chock full of vegetables - peppers, collard greens, sweet potatoes, onions, tomatoes. served with avocado and plaintain chips

Snacks: Larabars, Rxbars, pears and nut butter

Dessert: these pumpkin bars

What’s on the menu for you this week? Anything I should try for next week?

It's only fair to share...
