Well, I haven’t really posted here in ages, and recently, my menu and grocery list came up within a few different groups of folks I see on the regular. I decided to share what I do and will link up recipes as I get them going this week.
For me, this is a win-win. I have been meaning to get back at this whole blog thing for a while, and I like the idea of encouraging folks to eat real food instead of crap we all seem to eat these days. I’ll make an effort to keep things delicious, nutritious, and not too pretentious.
Below is my shopping list and menu for the next two weeks. My only real goal was to reduce the amount of red meat 🍖, refined grains 🍞🥯🥞, and processed sugar 🍫🍬 I consume. Also, I wanted to stay under $100 for the two weeks.
