So, here is my grocery haul for the week from my local fry store, a Kroger store. What you don't see is a 40 pack of water, and my total was just over $100. I think it was 106. I did pick up a gallon of whole milk for Troy. He said that he wants to switch over to whole milk just because it's less processed. So, I grabbed that. some beef broth for a recipe. After the grocery haul, you will see what's on my menu for dinner this week. And for Tuesday's meal prep, I did get an angel food cake. This was reduced to $2.40. I thought that would be a really good light dessert. Put some strawberries on there, maybe some whipped cream. Haven't had angel food cake in so long, so I'm excited about that. I also got this classic margarita pizza. This was reduced to $3.15. love these flatbread pizzas. And again, these are really great, easy meals for Troy. He can throw in some pepperoni, some extra cheese, doctor it up, and have a perfect meal. Then I did get a couple of frozen pizzas as well. We always just like to have these in the freezer. These are on digital coupon for $3.99, $3.49. So I got a meat and a supreme. I needed some black beans as well as a can of corn. We are out of sour cream. that big one that I bought at I think it was Sam's Costco. That one's gone. So, we needed sour cream for some recipes this week. Also, a can of 100% pure pumpkin. And then these were on sale if you buy five $1.99 a piece, which I love these. I actually ate one on my way home from my workout this morning. So, this one's blueberries, cheese, and like a honeycoated almond. Really good. And then this one is the one I ate this morning. It's grapes, blueberries, cheese, and regular almonds. These were really good. 190 calories, 7 g of protein, 210 calories, 9 g of protein. Perfect. Perfect snack. Picked up a thing of ketchup because we used the rest of it when I made the meatloaf in Wednesday's what I eat in a day. And then Troy said we were out of pickles. So, I always grab two jars, one for the fridge, one for the pantry. So, I grabbed two of the Mount Olive kosher dill spears, two of the Good Culture little cottage cheese cups. This will be easy for me as a snack before I before I go live. It'll be a really good way to get in some protein. And you know, I always say that the cottage cheese in the cups is better than the cottage cheese in the tub. I don't know why, but it is. So, I picked up two of those. Some simply potatoes for my meal prep. Lots of cheese. I actually need it for several recipes. So, a big bag of shredded sharp and a big bag of Mexican blend. By the way, the little bag is $2. The big one is only $2.99. So, 99 cents more, you get like three times as much cheese. So, a much better deal. I did get some of the Welsh allnatural smoked turkey breast. We are almost out of lunch meat. I've been doing a half a sandwich a lot. It's been a really, really easy lunch for me. So, I got some more turkey. I picked up a fourack of ravioli for Troy. Again, easy, quick meals, bat soup. He relies on those a lot. And everything else is produce. Lots of produce this week, so surprise to nobody. I picked up some more grapes. This organic apple, five apple packs, was on sale for 202. I love apples and cheese, apples and peanut butter. One of my favorite snacks. And this makes it easy because they're already in like little individual packets. You can even take them on the go. Put them in your kids lunch. love them. I needed frozen peas and frozen corn. I got some strawberries for the angel food cake. I think what I'm going to do is slice these up, put them in just a little bit of sugar, so you get a sauce and then put it on the angel food cake with some whipped cream. Some squash for a recipe. I don't want to cut it up. So, buying it pre-cut up, game changer. A fourack of rusted potatoes. This is for my meal prep. I actually got two singles as well. So, I had a total of six. One lime, one avocado, bananas, of course. I got a couple of bulk carrots for a recipe, couple of sweet potatoes, grape tomatoes, and then a threeack of peppers, all for recipes and meal prep this week. So, that is everything that I picked up. Let's jump into what's for dinner and meal prep. So, here's what's on my menu for dinner. So, I'm going to do a shephardd's pie baked potatoes. I'm actually kind of excited for this. That's what I got all the potatoes for. You will see that recipe in Wednesday's what I eat in a day. And then for my meal prep, I am making butternut squash muffins. Cannot wait. Lunch is going to be sweet potato taco bowls. And then for dessert, we're bringing in fall with some pumpkin spice coffee cake. Stay tuned on Tuesday for all three recipes. [music]
