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!

love trader joe’s!! a whole foods was just put in near me so i have yet to shop there but will!!
i love getting 80% dark chocolate!!
Trader Joes is actually really affordable. Much cheaper than Whole Foods, in my opinion./
Dark chocolate cranberries sound yummy! I actually get most of my shelf-stable foods at Target.
I love Target for their groceries! I always forget how affordable they are.
