What’s in My Grocery Bag

I would normally do a Friday Favorites post today, because it’s of course FRIDAY but instead I want to do a food post.  I can’t even remember the last time I did one of those.  Now that I’m done half marathon training, I have a lot more flexibility on topics I feel like writing about! 

I haven’t had many nights to my self this week, so when I came home from work yesterday I was excited to have time to do whatever I wanted.  So what did I choose to do?  I went food shopping!  For most people, food shopping is a chore but I enjoy it! 

I went to my two favorite grocery stores:  Whole Foods and Trader Joes!

Are you wondering what I put into my cart? Here’s a look at the goodies I came home with from Trader Joes:

Bananas, Carrot Ginger Soup, Butternut Squash Triangoli (x2 b/c I LOVE these cold)

Healthy 8 Chopped Veggie Mix, Edamame, Mini Pearl Grape Tomatoes

Clif Kid Z Bar in Iced Oatmeal Cookie, Pumpkin Cream Cheese

Romaine lettuce, Sweet potatoes

Poinsettia for my office

I didn’t get too many items from Whole Foods, because at this point I was tired and just wanted to get home.  I just want to note here that I am not a nutritionist nor a medical doctor.  The views I express are mine alone and shouldn’t be taken as medical advice.

Vermont Bread Company Organic Soft White, Annie’s Organic Red Wine & Olive Oil

Dark Chocolate Cranberries, Stonyfield Organic Yogurt

Overall I did really well! I only spent about $40 and came home with some great additions for meals this weekend and into next week.  I’ve been feeling REALLY uninspired when it comes to food recently.  Lunches have been PB & J’s and dinners have been anything I can throw together in less than 5 minutes, because I am starving from not eating a filling lunch.  I’m happy to be inspired to make more interesting meals.

Have a great weekend, every one.  I’ll talk to you all again on Monday, but remember to follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for daily updates!
