Meal Options/Grocery List


After feeling like I have gone to the grocery store every day after work for the past two weeks...Today I sat down and made a document (see below) with some meal options on it.  They don't have a lot of ingredients and not too much dairy either.  It seems like a lot of meat, but sometimes I don't even eat the meat I cook for my husband and just eat a salad or, for example, just the potatoes and carrots from the crock pot meal option.  We eat a salad with pretty much every dinner as a side anyway.  Then I plan on, at the end of the week (or at the beginning of the week for you) just making a quiche with the leftovers (where appropriate, not spaghetti of course!) to have just to take to work with me for lunch or just to fill in the gaps for dinner.  My plan is to just print this list to take to the grocery store with me (or saving it as a document on my email to pull up from my phone) just so I am not making so may random trips to the grocery store!
